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.

I saw Steppenwolf at The Grande Ballroom in 1968 and the drummer was so high he fell backwards off his stool. As he fell he was still swinging his sticks.

Saw Hendrix in '68 at, I'm pretty sure, Detroit's Masonic Auditorium. His amps kept picking up a talk show from a local AM station, WJR. I thought it was part of the show.
I will never forget my first concert. It was in 1983, it was Black Sabbath at the forum in Los Angeles. What made it even more memorable was that the great southern rock band the "Outlaws" opened for them.
WOW! There are some awesome bands listed! Unfortunate that many were before my time. Not sure how representative this thread is but it definitely implies that audiophiles on this site are from a generation before mine. This is not meant as an insult. I find it sad that there are not more younger audiophiles but I guess in this fast paced age of ipods, napster, digital music, etc its hard to see the value of spending good money on a big, immobile system that you have to sit down and listen to. Too bad.
