Your First Concert was.....

I won tickets from the local radio station to see Fanny, Jose Feleciano and the Guess Who. Blew me away (that is the Guess Who and Jose)! The first concert I bought tickets to was David Bowie at the Tower theater. Bowie took it up a whole nother level and still stands as one of the finest shows bar none!

38 Special in '82. Although I was not a big fan and the chicks we brought with were fat, the joint that some stranger passed to me was pretty cool.

The Outlaws at the old Paramount Theater in NYC. 1978 I believe. We all went to McCann's near the Garden because no one checked ID (we were 16). My friend fell asleep through the whole show and only woke up for "Green Grass..."

ZZ Top with KISS (an unheard of group at the time) opening up for them.

I was a little under the weather by the time ZZ Top started playing and fell asleep 20 minutes into ZZ Top.

I never quite lived that one down. I also doubt that ZZ Top had KISS open for them again.

Creedence Clearwater Revival (post Tom Fogery) at the Met Center in Bloomington, MN in 1972. Opening acts were Freddie King, and Tony Joe White. I was 14 and man it was LOUD. I was probably 25 feet in front of John Fogerty. I wish I would have paid more attention to Freddie, but I had no idea who he was at the time...
