Your first concert was to see who and when?


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

Ray Charles, September 1976, Bohler Gym, WSU Pullman, WA. I was 13 and went with two girls who were best friends, one white, one black. And did we get a lot of looks. I truly didn't understand why. It was an incredible show. I had never heard or seen anything like that. Made me a fan for life, and aware of how many singers tried desperately to equal Ray Charles on an average night. 

Parliament Funkadelic, 1976, P-Funk Earth Tour, Municipal Auditorium, San Antonio, TX.  I was 13 years old :-)  What an experience.  My mother dropped me and a friend (same age) off at the venue.  I can’t believe she let me go!
