Your First Concert was.....

Depeche Mode at the LA Coliseum in 1998 during the live recording of the "101" album. It was an incredible day with opening acts OMD, Thomas Dolby, and Wire Train. This was back in the day when the local alternative radio station, KROQ was in its prime with Jed The Fish, Poorman, and Richard Blade. At one point, the entire stadium was involved in food fight! This still ranks of one of my favorite concert experiences.

ZZ Top, Afterburner tour 1986. The big Sphinx that served as the backdrop for the stage set snorted up a big white sheet that covered the whole stage before the band came on (it was in a conical shape, cresting near the Sphinx's nostrils) with a loud snort, to kick off the show. It was funny to me at the time, but I was too young to understand the joke. Great show.

Tough to remember, but first and second (I think!) were Iron Butterfly and Steppenwolf in about 1967.

Janis Joplin, August 12 1970, Harvard Stadium.

My first, her last.

Jimi Hendrix, Houston 196?. Second row left and the guitar went up in flames. Also was the first album I purchased, didn't have a clue who he was but liked the cover. Are You Experienced?
