Your First Concert was.....

1st concert I gave?...in 4th grade.

The school band did a Christmas Concert. I played Coronet that year... or as my first year in band, 3rd seat Trumpet.

First concert I saw? ... The Nutcracker. I think I was in 3rd grade. it was done on a weekend by a local High School's Senior class band, and drama dept.

First rock concert? .... Sorry... Not sure who I went to see... I think I had to many vitamins that day. Well, they looked like vitamins.... and that was over 30 years ago.

I'm on a strickly organic diet these days... thank Goodness too... Them vintage '70s vitamins nearly killed me.

Santana. Fee concert in Isla Vista, at UC Santa Barbara. Before they went to Woodstock and became famous...

The Who - St. Paul Civic Center, October 15th, 1980. I was 15. Keith Moon had died less than a year before this tour, so Kenny Jones drummed for the. Simply awesome.

The Axiom...Houston, Texas...1989...the Pain Teens (so incredibly cool) with lead singer Bliss Blood (so undeniably hot) opening for Sleep Chamber (to this day I think one of the most intimidating bands to jump off a stage). Not for the faint of heart...even now I can almost feel I was there just last night/this morning. Couldn't hear for two days...so great and only five bucks...what a deal.

Technically it was Canned Heat playing at my high school dance, SoCal 1968. First paid concert was Vanilla Fudge opening for the Bee Gees, same year. Interesting combination, to say the least.
