My first concert was Arlo Guthrie at the Shaffer (sic) Music Festival in Central Park, NYC. It cost 2 bucks and it was for his "Running Down the Road" album.
My first real concert was Max Webster. I believe it was in 1978 or 1979 in my home town, Brantford, Ontario, Canada. They were at their finest. That hooked me on live music for life.
Allman Brothers Band opening for Johnny Winter in the Fall of 1971 at the Spectrum in Phiadelphia. It was a short time before the quintessential "Live at the Filmore East" album was recorded. I was 15 years old, got a tremendous "contact high" from all that strange smoke filling the air, and was absolutely fascinated by the interplay between Duane Allman and Dickey Betts. It was an amazing show.
Alice Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare" at Madison Square Garden in 1975. I was 15 at the time and its still my BEST CONCERT so far. He was on another planet with a tremendous band.
