Your First Concert was.....

Electric Light Orchestra at Madison Square Garden, in '73? 74? My big brother took me. They were at their peak and the light show was pretty amazing as I recall.

What was that smell in the air? I would soon find out....

National Symphony Orchestra - Children's Series - Fort Meyer Arlington VA, Probably 1956 or 57. The first really moving concert was Glenn Gould at Lisner Auditorium in DC - had to have been 1958 or 59. I can conciously remember Gould and how he horrifed the stuffshirts in the audience.

Hmm from the responses, I guess you're talking about Rock Concerts in which case it would be The Yardbirds' December 23rd show at the Alexandria Roller Rink, in Alexandria VA.

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.

The United States of America on St Marks in 1968 or so. It was awful. And LOUD!
