Your first concert was to see who and when?


I'll kick off with Pink Floyd at The Bay Hotel, Sunderland in February 1969.

Elvis Presley - Pontiac Silverdome 12/31/75. Fourth row main floor center. I was 9 1/2 years old. My mom took me - one of my best memories as a kid. 

I feel like I always “win” this bar talk. :-)  But, damn, there are some good ones in this string for sure!

(Second concert was Elton John at the Silverdome that following July.)

Restricting my response to rock concerts, The Rolling Stones, Hyde Park London, summer 1969

Kiss at Maple Leaf Gardens (Toronto) April 26, 1976. It was the "Kiss Alive" tour and it was awesome to a 14-year old! I saw them a few months later at Varsity Stadium with Blue Oyster Cult and Artful Dodger. Oh, the good old days!  

In 1969 at age 13, my first concert was Creedence Clearwater Revival in Syracuse, NY.

Tickets were $5.00

A couple of years later, I had to pay the outrageous price of $13.00 to see Frank Zappa.

To put that into perspective, I just bought 2 front row tickets to see David Byrne here in Syracuse for $1100.00

Ah, the good ole days.
