At the time I thought it was the shit (although I wasn't allowed to use that word back then, and it meant something entirely different, lol), but my first concert was The Righteous Brothers ("You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and "Unchained Melody" - the tear-jerker song featured in the movie "Ghost").
The opening act was Sergio Mendes and the Brasil '66. Woohoo!!!
My second concert was supposed to be The Monkees with opening act Jimi Hendrix, but Jimi got axed by the city elders - kind of a low blow since Jimi was from Seattle.
Since then I have seen at least 1,000 concerts, plus I was a working musician for almost 10 years (just local/college band cover stuff). The first thing you see when you enter my house is my collection of thousands of LPs, and on top of my record shelf (covered in glass) is my collection of concert ticket stubs and autographs from various artists.
My favorite music festival: 3-Day US Festival (Tons of bands - headliners for the three nights were The Clash, Van Halen, and David Bowie)
My favorite concert: Pink Floyd
My favorite concert moment: Taking my Mom to see Peter Gabriel the year before she passed away (I took her to see Yul Brenner in the "King and I" too - that was pretty special)
I'm not sure which I like best, music or sex. Fortunately I don't have to choose.
