So what was your first concert?

[OCBob]

Just interested to see the lists and memories.

My first show was Kansas at the Lehigh County Fair. It was outdoors, festival seating, and a gorgeous August night in 1977 (I think)It was a great show.

We bought one of those "concert kits" at the local headshop the day before. If you've never seen one it was a small, rectangular plastic case which held a small pipe, some screens, a pack of papers, and some matches I think hehe. I'm sure we got good and stoned, but I don't really remember for sure.

Kansas was on their Leftoverture tour, riding a wave of popularity. This was just about as big as they got, at least pretty close to it. It was a great show, well worth the $4.50 ticket price.

I actually did go to one before Kansas now that I think about it. Saw Johnny Cash and the Carter Family with Mom and Dad when I was probably about 7. Unfortunately I don't remember a bit of it, and I never did get to see Johnny Cash again, really wish I had.

[nycstev]

Gaelic Park Bronx NY 1969 .Black Sabbath and Mountain. We got there
very early and there was this strange sounding band warming up. We were like WhoTF are these guys? I look at the drum and it reads YES. At the time they were virtually unknown. Can you imagine? All of this for 5 bucks!:rock:

 

[mmmmtorque]

Black Sabbath (RJD) & Ozzy Ozbourne....ah the good ole days


Iron Maiden was my second...Used to go to alot of concerts back in the day

 

[ChrisAZ]

U2 in 1986 I think. It was in Las Cruces New Mexico and we shook Bono's hand after the concert. He is really small...had girlie hands. Kinda weird.
