If not for KC & Sunshine Band......ummmmm there would be no Beatles no Zeppelin no Who no Stones......the list goes on :banana:

Mine was The Who....sometime in the late 90s at Mountain View, CA.

My memories of the concert is kind of hazy now (after effects from hazy cloud above the audience?), but I remember members of Metalica in attendance. Also, I remember Pete yelling at someone in the front rows, "What?! Too loud?! Why don't you go to a Kenny G show then!!"

Alice Cooper "Special Forces" Tour June 30, 1981 at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles. I was 11 years old and my stepfather was Alice's road manager. I already loved music, but my love of concert theatrics was born that night (maybe that's why I love special effects at concerts so much... Eddie at Iron Maiden shows; Stonehenge from Spinal Tap, etc.)

Stonehenge from Spinal Tap can never be topped :banana:

Most interesting concert moment: Aerosmith on the Done With Mirrors Tour... Steven Tyler is in the middle of a song, turns his head away from the microphone and vomits, then keeps on singing! A roadie ran out with a towel and cleaned him up while he performed (I can't remember the song). Even better, a group called The Divinyls opened for them ("I Touch Myself" was their big hit) and the lead singer squatted and urinated on the stage while singing! I wish I could have been backstage before that show!

My first concert was on October 1, 1975. Elton John at the Tucson Community Center. It was just a few weeks before Rock of the Westies was released. I was six weeks away from my tenth birthday. I was obsessed with Elton at the time. Immediately after I asked my parents for piano lessons which they kindly provided. I am still playing today.

The late Dan Fogelberg (I hear you groaning!), 1976, tour for Netherlands LP.

Not a concert, but Human Body played at my high school around 1972, later to become famous under another name for a whole string of hits, including More Bounce to the Ounce...:bounce

No groaning here. I love Nether Lands! Would love for it to get a 5.1 mix.

Not at all Dan Fogelburg's "Captured Angel " (1975) is a favourite album of mine! Just wished I'd seen him.

Growing up in Indianapolis, the place in the seventies to see a lot of acts was the Convention Center. Saw many a show there; among them was The Eagles, in probably 1974 or so. Before the show, we found out this unknown act was opening; Dan Fogleburg. We thought "WTF!!!??? Who is this dude?" .... We left the show impressed and thereafter I have always enjoyed his music. RIP.... D Fogleburg.

I don't remember if I posted anything in this thread yet but, even if I did, my first real concert was when they dedicated the new Wicks pipe organ at our church in my home town in 1961. The organist was able to play it a lot louder than for a typical church service and he played some famous classical pipe organ pieces. I was totally affected by it.

I still remember that building shaking in response to those huge pipes and I have loved pipe organ music ever since.

[Quad Linda]

Nice pipes!

I can sing exactly like Jim Morrison but I won't. Well, except for a few times karaokeing it and I was too drunk to remember the words to "Wild Child" or be able to read the prompter.

Sounds like you really can sing exactly like Morrison.
