Your First Concert was.....

In 1969 - IIRC - at 12 (or so) years old, I tagged along with my older brother to see Mountain play one of their earliest gigs at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, N.J.

Richard,

Do you sometimes feel that you're just wandering through life on a horse with no name?

Hbarrel,

By 1972 (before "Madman"), Elton John had released (at least) 3 other records: "Elton John" (which included "Your Song", his first single that I can recall hearing on the radio), "Tumbleweed Connection", and a somewhat less widely seen LP called "Empty Sky".

Wasn't my first show, but I saw him just around the same time. The show was kind of understated, just EJ and a piano out front with a backing band behind him. IIRC, I liked it quite a bit. I will note that - more than any other performer that quickly comes to mind - he has come a loooong way. He wasn't even gay back then (at least as far as the audience was concerned)!
