My first concert was Hendrix, Soft Machine and The Heir Apparent.
I was too young to realize it at the time but with the exception of the Doors, it was mostly downhill after that.
Well... Black Sabbath at The Whiskey was pretty amazing too!

Mine was "The Who" at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, 1971. I think I remember most of it.

Never been to one and still don't plan on it. I HATE crowds to a phobic level.

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

Garth Brooks, around 1994 I think. Saw him here in Birmingham and his show blew me away. Now I'm not the biggest Garth fan, but in his prime few put on a show with the energy he did.

Peter and Gordon was the first group I saw at the Ft. Lauderdale War Memorial Auditorium, that would have been 1964 or 65.
Can�t remember the next one, probably Led Zepplin in 1969. I thought they were kind of boring. After 1970, due to certain environmental conditions, concerts got a lot better while simultaneously my memories of them became a lot more hazy.
The Allman Brothers played at one of our high school dances, that was before they hit the big time.

I came back from Vietnam (Sept '66)and a few days before I was discharged from the Navy we went to this place I think was the Golden Dragon in San Fran. They wanted a $8 cover charge to get in. We paid it and sat down by the stage. One of the fellas said, "hey are they having a Revival Meeting here?" Well long story short it was the
Creedance Clear Water Revival played for the next 3 or 4 hours. Great show and not to bad a price.

Chicago at Pershing Auditorium in Lincoln, NE - I think it was fall of '71 or spring of '72 . . . dates are a bit hazy from back then. Great show - Terry Kath could have played guitar in anybody's band.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .

Dick Clark's show back in 62 or 63? Talked my dad into taking me and a buddy. The Ventures (anyone remember them?) were the featured band. I wanted a Mosrite guitar so bad so I could taste it. I remember the vibrations coming through the seats and I couldn't believe the thrill.
Looking back it was kinda primitive. The bands (there were several) came out, did maybe four or five numbers and then the next band came out. Everyone one of the players wore a suit and tie, I remember that much.
I remember Chicago playing here in '70. They had to give away tickets. I have seen them four or five times since. Still have that great sound and the trombonist is a hoot to watch.

jimi hendrix in the early 70's. he did all his tricks, but did not light the guitar on fire. i was on the 2rd row, center. he stood so close to me i could have hit him with a 12 foot crappie rod. he also looked kind of "rough", but the fellow could wail on that guitar.

I guess that would be Alice Cooper/Rick Derringer 1977.

Sure, I remember the Ventures, a clean, driving sound. One of my fav's when in high school. You and I are neighbors by the way.
