My father was a pro touring musician when I was growing up in the mid-late 70's so I saw his bands MANY times at local bars / clubs / parties.
I saw a shitload of acts in Philly locally since my dad knew everyone at the time and being a kid of a band member got you into places that normally you had to be 21 to get into. I had a blast and got to drink all the soad I could handle, lol ......
1st Arena concert - Elton John in 82/83?? ... my mom loved him and I had no choice but to go since Dad passed on going with her.
1st with out parents: Genesis in 1987. They were pretty popular then on the Invisible touch tour.
Since then my favorites:
- John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers in 95 ( I got to meet john post show, he's VERY english and super cool )
- Eric Clapton: Nothing but the blues tour in 1995
- Eric Clapton: Pilgrim tour / and the 2004 tour.
- Monsters of Rock 1987 at JFK in Philly. Metallica were just about to release "and justice for all" ... Van Hagar was the closer ... they really sucked to be honest.
Best act on Monsters - The Scoropions. They rocked the fucking house like no other even thou I wasnt a big fan at the time.
and of course Live Aid in 1985.
