Your First Concert was.....


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.

for some reason my parents let me go to the clash's rock the casbah tour... when i was 11. i was lucky to survive.

the thing i remember most vividly was that a guy climbed one of the speaker towers and, essentially, hugged it through the whole concert - with his left ear pressed right up to a cone, and it was LOUD. i doubt he heard too much out of that ear for months, if ever.

as my brother said: at least it wasn't altamont...
Edgar Winter Group in Madison Square Garden circa 1973 . . . I remember being more wowed by the drugs being offered for sale in the Men's room. My buddy and I were 15 and took the train in from NJ. My how times have changed.
1st concert I gave?...in 4th grade.

The school band did a Christmas Concert. I played Coronet that year... or as my first year in band, 3rd seat Trumpet.

First concert I saw? ... The Nutcracker. I think I was in 3rd grade. it was done on a weekend by a local High School's Senior class band, and drama dept.

First rock concert? .... Sorry... Not sure who I went to see... I think I had to many vitamins that day. Well, they looked like vitamins.... and that was over 30 years ago.

I'm on a strickly organic diet these days... thank Goodness too... Them vintage '70s vitamins nearly killed me.
Santana. Fee concert in Isla Vista, at UC Santa Barbara. Before they went to Woodstock and became famous...
The Who - St. Paul Civic Center, October 15th, 1980. I was 15. Keith Moon had died less than a year before this tour, so Kenny Jones drummed for the. Simply awesome.
