Your First Concert was.....

Bengla Desh concert August 1st 1971 night show. George Harrison sounded great and his voice was even better than his records and his guitar playing was incredible as well. The tickets were $7.50 for first promenade excellent seats I believe. Needless to say and unbelievable concert and a tough act to follow.

Bachman Turner Overdrive. My mother made my older brother take me. Him and his friends bought me a pack of cigarettes and made me sit about 40 yards away from them so they could meet girls

Chicago in Memphis at the Mid-South Coliseum. August of 1971. Tickets were $4, $5 and $6. I had just graduated from high school and this was my first rock-n-roll show.

I suppose I should add that I went to the Grand Ole Opry and lots of country music shows with my folks through the years. Even saw Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, the Carter Family and the Statler Brothers in 1968. But the Chicago show is what I consider the first.

Blue Oyster Cult in Niles, IL (at an ice rink!)in '76. Rory Gallagher opened.

Kiss in 1975. Can't remember the opening band. Don't ask why.
