The Neil Peart thread made think back to my first concert. It was Credence Clearwater Revival at the San Houston Coliseum, the summer of 1970.
Who was your first concert you saw without parents.
I saw Roy Rogers every year from 5 to about 10 with parents at Houston Livestock show and rodeo. Saw Elvis there when I was 15 with parents too.

Probably a few before this, less memorable; but Rolling Stones and Beach Boys on the same show. Legion Field in Birmingham; 1965.
Back to the same venue 25 years later to see the Stones Steel Wheels tour. My ,at the time girlfriend, had some connections and I tasked her to do what ever it took to get good seats. I did not ask what it took; but we sat on row 2 with 60,000 people behind us. She had skills.

The Kingston Trio, in Martin Tennessee, 1963. Of course, that doesn't count the years in the mid-1950's I spent hanging out backstage at the Ryman Auditorium, watching the Grand Ole Opry from the interesting side of the curtains!

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.

Who was your first concert you saw without parents. Black 'n' Blue opened for Night Ranger at the Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon. Good show. It was too loud .. new sound system that completely overwhelmed the space. It was like how thunder sort of rips the air instead of booming when you are too close.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Concert? WTF is that?
Does Jimmy Stafford in the College of Idaho Audatorium in 1975 count?
