The earliest celebrity I remember seeing was Little Jimmy Dickens at the county fair in the late 60's. After that was a long spell until Waylon Jennings in about 1983. Saw a bunch in the 90's until about 2010, Last one was Dwight Yoakam and Alan Jackson about 4 years ago..

First concert was Black Sabbath in 1974-75. I only went because my best friend was a huge Sabbath fan. It was a good concert. The first one that I went to because I liked the band was The Who at the Pontiac Silverdome. That was a GREAT concert!

Jane's addiction. Nov. 17, 1990. I was 18. Memorial gymnasium UVA, Charlottesville VA. Life altering. After that, Faith no More, Danzig twice, Sound garden, The Ramones all at the Boathouse in Norfolk VA. The cramps, somewhere in Georgetown VA. Seen Phish and The Dead multiple times, Jimmy buffet in D.C. and in Key West. Eek-a-mouse in a local bar 3 times as well as burning spear and yellow man. Bunch of others.

It was either Iron Butterfly or Black Oak Arkansas around 1970. They both performed at a small local college gym in the early 70's but I can't remember which was first. There were lots of 12 hour concerts back then too. I remember parts of some of them.

Piano, I was young, I was young, I badly played simple tunes. No fee at the gate, over priced at that.

Something like 1968. I saw The 5th Dimension at the Minnesota State Fair. The first "real" concert I saw at an arena or stadium was Led Zepplin in 1975.
