Mine was a couple of local punk bands...

NY? Ever hear 5 cent deposit?

Headliner: Three Dog Night
Lead Acts (in order):
Head Over Heels
Grass Roots
Steppenwolf

White Zombie, 1995.

damn, now that's a fuckin show! I'd go out on a limb to say you were high for a good portion of it, lol.

Howard Jones at Universal... Yea it was a girls idea...

Cost about $3. All the concert back then had multiple groups.

Now that I think about it, I may have seen Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Jefferson Airplane a couple months before that one.

I don't really count the ones in the park because they were free.

Lynyrd Skynyrd & Atlanta Rythm Section at the Miami Jai-Alai Fronton

Lucky fucker

Actually, no. I was only 14 or 15, so my dad had to drive us and pick us up, and as it was my first concert, I did not know you could actually bring weed into an enclosed area in LA and get high without getting arrested.

I seem to recall a few joints being passed around, and I took a couple hits, but the chick I was with did not get high, so I had to be considerate.

A gentlman too...chivalry isn't dead? Sounds like good memories.

If I sat down and tried to write out all the groups I have seen I couldn't do it. Too many . . . and yeah, sometimes I got so high I could not have told you the lead acts the next day.

I still open doors.

It was fun. I could contact Judy if I wanted (still have connections to her family). I know the last time I saw her (10 years ago) she still had the ticket stubs from it since it was her first too.

ZZTop here......wow that was a bit ago, but some good memories.

That's cool man...Lot of people do not appreciate the moments in life like those.

20 years ago my dad took me and my bro to see Stevie Ray Vaughn in Leclare Park Davenport Iowa :thumbsup

i just looked it up, the date was -> 05/27/88: Stevie Ray Vaughn

Billy Idol opened by Faith No More.. was right after he had that motorcycle accident... he came onto stage with the full leg cast and a cane, but was still very cool

The Shamen :pimp

I was 14 and back then most music was live. The DJ had not been invented. I saw many top bands when they were on the way up.

The Who when they charged $60 a gig.

Stones, Black Sabath, Kinks and more when they played in pubs.

dire straits in vienna 1982

The Ramones
Feb. 3, 1978

haha..brings back memories. Julio Iglesias with my parents in Spain in the early 80's :thumbsup

Ziggy Marley San Diego and yes I was oh so high!

David Bowie, Madison Square Garden @ 20 years ago.,.,.,

4 non blondes.... a long long time ago... i think it was at 1991 or so....

I've attended literally hundreds and hundreds of concerts, played in bands for 10+ years, and was involved in concert promotion at my college, but the very first big show I saw live, when I was like 8 years old, was the Righteous Brothers with Sergio Mendes as the opening act:

Their big hits at the time were "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", "Soul Inspiration", and the most played song of all time (I read that recently), "Unchained Melody" (made famous again when it was used in the Demi Moore movie "Ghost").

Guns and Fuckin Roses, use your Illusion Tour.
June 5, 1993 - Flag of the Netherlands Stadspark De Goffert (Nijmegen, Holland)

i was 12 years old, a huge fan and my dad brought me and my brother. Up until this date the best concert I've ever attended.

Nowadays, I bring my 58 year old dad to concerts and raves. Kind of to compensate for that once in a life time concert.

Thanks DAD!
