Your first concert

My First concert was the Beatles, in Luxembourg, in 1964...before they became such a hit in the States. Perhaps the Best concert I went to was Pink Floyd, doing their Dark Side of the Moon album at the Chiefs Stadium in Kansas City, several years ago.

First concert for me was Elton John in the mid 70's at the height of his "costume" phase. Best concert I went to was also the Dark Side of the Moon concert. Outstanding.

I wish I had more of a chance to see Led Zep. John Bonham died when I was 2 months shy of my 17th birthday. I've seen Page & Plant together twice and that was fantastic!

My first concert was Jethro Tull sometime in the late 70's at Boston Garden.

Jethro Tull was my second concert and Donovan opened for him. I thought that was a very odd pairing.

My first concert was The Edgar Winter group with Bad Company opening sometime around '75. It was Bad Company's first US tour and they weren't that well known.
 

I saw Harry Belafonte and Miriam Makeba in concert, back in the 60's. Did not see any rock bands for some reason. I was more into intimate night clubs headlining soul singers, but did see Roy Orbison.
 
My seventh grade class was bussed into ElPaso to hear a symphony in the mid 1950's.
I don't know who decided that this would be a "treat" as the reaction was varied.
I enjoyed the music, but of course, wouldn't acknowledge that to my buddies.
 
Beach Boys - Swing Auditorium - San Bernardino CA 1973. I think they were past their prime by then or else there was something wrong with the sound system. I came away wondering what the bid deal was.

Saw Fleetwood Mac at the same venue a few years later and they were terrific.

Hi guys...I'm new, and I love this one. I love music. Ashamed to say the very first concert for me was a Big Band. LOL My older brother wanted to go,
and my Mom made him take me. I don't think I was even a teen yet. But, I surprised him and loved it. In later years, we lived near Penn State and
they have tremendous shows come to Bryce. Saw Elton John and Billy Joel's joint tour ...back in the 90's there. Also saw Cher's (1st Final) LOL there.
Paul McCartney is coming close to me this year...but I think the students would crowd me out now. I never got to see Elvis and I tried all my young adult years.

Not now....

Nice. We saw the Beach Boys when they were older in New Jersey....It wasn't the same as when they
were younger...But it was enjoyable...
 
My 1ST MISSED concert....At 7 Mom would not let me go with My cousins..... WOODSTOCK....
But later they took me to see CCR playing at a fair....
 
I won't say who my first concert was. Today, they would be considered a dorky band. The best concert was ZZ Top with 38 Special as the warm-up band in Harrisburg in 1983 or '84.
 
I love live music too. When I was young (late teens, early 20's) I somehow mustered up enough money to take public transportation to the Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y. They used to have multiple artists on the venue. I think the first concert I saw featured Little Stevie Wonder, Patti LaBelle and The Bluebells and perhaps Joe Tex or Joe Simon. I wound up seeing several other artists that became icons at the Apollo.
