1971 Three Dog Night with Osibisa opening. It was their peak with Liar and Joy To The World literally at the top of the charts. It would three years before my next concert, ELP Brain Salad Surgery, which was the first show of my choosing!

First show for me was being taken to see Bowie at the Hammersmith Odeon for what turned out to be the final Ziggy show (not that we knew this at the time of course).
Not quite 11 years old at the time but it is one I will never, ever forget.

Point Blank - Who??

Funny... My first show was Loverboy, who was preceded by Joan Jett, who was preceded by Point Blank! As a new guitar player and teenager, I was soaking it all in and actually enjoyed Point Blank very much. So much so that about ten years later (c. 1990-1991) I sought out their LPs so I could hear a few of the songs that I remembered, notably, "Let Her Go", "I Just Want to Know", and "Nicole."

Gary Numan, Teletour '80 at Hammersmith Odeon, the night before the one they recorded and released as Living Ornaments 1980. I was 13 and my mother brought me all the way from Norfolk to London on the bus to see Numan. It was a superb show.

The support was also memorable: Nash the Slash.

October 1975, Ag Hall @ Allentown Fairgrounds, PA. KISS with REO Speedwagon opening. Another one that I have great memories of: June 12, 1976 @ JFK Stadium, Phila., PA with Yes, Peter Frampton, Gary Wright, and the Pousette Dart Band. This is Yes's largest audience ever, I believe and I could never survive a show like this nowadays. Here's a pic: http://www.yesworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Yes-JFK.jpg

Exactly what a Rock Superbowl in Orlando looked like except it was near 100 degrees UGH


BTW................Way before my first with Foghat & Eddie Money - would Disney World Event Concerts count?? U know the ones where they got a bunch of 70s pop bands and they would play like 2 shows each group at certain spots around the Disney park. If so..........KC & the Sunshine Band was my First, along with The Sylvers, Chic & Starbuck toooo....Hmmm also Peaches & Herb!!!! Oh Yeah!!!!! BEAT THAT NEIL!!!!!

I told You guys & gals before...........The real KC (KC & The Sunshine band or KCTSB as the people in the know say it) would sound great in 5.1 :51banana: and I was not kidding @:

Sonny and Cher in War Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo NY. Comedian David Brenner opened. I was 12 years old. I brought a girl named Karen and caught a ride to and from with my older brother and his date.... And The Beat Goes On

 

[blue.monk]

Elton John - Cleveland Coliseum, August 1976. He opened with "Grow Some Funk of Your Own". Loved every moment of the show.

That had to be good! They tore down the Coliseum, it's a field now. Went to many, many shows there!

Me too. You would never have known it was ever there. It's rather eerie to drive by the exit now.

 

[Blrac]

Van Halen (first tour with Sammy) @ the Cap Center in DC in 1986. BTO opened up for them. The hair metal heyday....I couldn't hear right for a week it was so loud!

 

[Suffolk David]

Queen, Wembley Arena, December 8th 1980. Remember it well, not only because it was a fantastic show, but particularly because later that night John Lennon was shot .... and 'Imagine' was added to the set list the following night in tribute.

 

[HDave]

1st concert was @ Pine Knob north of Detroit..... Areosmith I believe 1974 it was the Get your wings tour. Fine time sitting on the hill with a cooler full of beer 2 buckets of K.F.C and some hand rolled munchies makers. Growing up in Detroit seen a lot of major bands in there prime @ Cobo Frampton comes alive, was partially recorded there. Seen Queen ANATO @ the Masonic temple.

Suuuuuuuuuuuper Jealous :howl

 

[ABMickey]

Simply Red - small promo tour for their first Album in a small Club in Hamburg back in 1985.

Since then got a real fan ...such a shame that they never had a surround release but their DVD's and Blu-Rays are enjoyable in every mood.

 

[leevitalone1]

First? My mom took me at 8-9 yrs old, to see Louis Armstrong. I still remember the show and how impressed I was.

 

[The Bushmaster]

Aah...Finally...Someone with a little class. Leevitalone1, your mother had class and seems to have passed along to you.
