Your First Concert was.....

First show was Jimi Hendrix Experience, August 1968, at the Richmond Mosque. Second show was Led Zeppelin (Christmas Day?) 1968, Denver auditorium. Also around this time I started paying attention to this group Child, later name changed to Steel Mill, with their personable skinny long haired front man doing his best Steve Marriott impression. Must have seen them 40 times, in bars, parks, parties, auditoriums and on top of the downtown Richmond parking garage, as they made their informal concert circuit from Asbury Park, NJ to Atlanta stopping in Richmond to play several gigs. Friendly kid that front singer, I wonder what ever became of him. 

And because I've been pm'd about the above, and just to carify ... that skinny, long-haired teenage kid in Child/Steel Mill was the yet to be recorded Mr. Springsteen. Real nice guy.
