Stones, Heart and George Thorogood in Boulder, CO - mid '80's Never liked the Stones much and they were the worst of the three acts. Can't like watching Mick prance around on the stange like a fairy. George Thorogood and the Destroyers stole the show.
ZZ-Top is by far the best band I've seen live. Both the El Loco and Deguello tours.
Also saw Deep Purple and Genesis at the AromaDome (Tacoma Dome)
Fourth of July weekend,1969 Atlanta International Raceway Atlanta Pop Fest.All the big names were there,Joplin,Johnny Winters,CCR,Zepplin.It was a smaller version of Woodstock.
Live in 97, they had Fun Loving Criminals open for them.
Brooks and Dunn later that year. Joe Diffy opened.
Garth Brooks the next year. Sold out 3 shows in 40 minutes. A friend paid a street guy in Whoppers to stand in line with him. Curt bought his 6 tickets, street guy bought his 6 and then we scalped the 2nd six. Everyone got to see him for free and pocketed 20 bucks.
Last larger act I saw was Flogging Molly both Frank Turner and The Architects opened for them. Best show out of all of them.
The Who, 1980 in Atlanta. Tickets were pricey, $11.
And minimum wage was $2.35. Kiss in '78 or '79 in Fort Wayne, Indiana was the first concert I went to.

Left home never to return a couple months later. 'Hit's a damn wonder it didn't kill me. Damned near killed my parents. Was here, there, and everywhere until I finally high centered in the Bluegrass. Even after that I'd occasionally find sand in my shoes and have to go again. Three months on the road sleepin' in a tent finally got it out of my system in 1980.
Dickie Betts triggered a dormant inclination in me and kept it active for quite some time.

George Thorogood and Johnny Winter, Charlotte 1985
best show was Monsters of Rock in Mannheim: Whitesnake, Aerosmith, Poison, Dio, and Vixen. The Scorpions and Tesla were pretty good at the Frankfurt Opera House.
someone mentioned the group nazareth. while in germany back in the early 80's, i stopped at a hotel for the evening. i went to the "bar" and while looking for an open seat saw an empty seat at a table with 4 men already seated. they invited me to sit with them (i had a military haircut and their hair was shoulder length). turns out they were the band, in k-town to perform a gig. we talked for over an hour. you couldn't ask for a better group at the time. i imagine they are retired now.
Mine was, Peter Framton/Fog Hat/J Geils band 1977 Kingdome. At the time that was a monster line up. What was your first biggie?
Well, Kiss in '76-77 or so, with someone's dad though.
First one with friends was Cheap Trick, Budakon tour. Albuquerque. Went up with my best friend and his older brother in a Beetle. Got really, really baked in that little car.
AC/DC, Back in Black tour, 1980, at the Budokan in Tokyo. With my brother and a little Japanese bombshell who was my GF at the time. The little hussy dumped me about 2 weeks later. I'm still bitter about it. But now, almost 30 years later, that she's my wife provides some measure of satisfaction in the payback department. He who laughs last and all...
Jealous of some of the folks here who've seen some of my musical heroes.
