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!

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.
