Probably 1965 or 1966. Novi Junior Senior High School. IIRC one of the band members was a cousin to one of the students. Typical garage band, performed other's songs.

Band name was the Motor City Five, later to become the MC5.

I believe it was (hed) p.e. at the Key Club in Hollywood in 2006. I believe Back 2 Base X had just come out. I had a good time.

In all honesty, though, I'm not much of a concert goer. Haven't even seen Metallica live, though I still want to.

Billy Joel at Boston Garden (the old Garden), September 1983.

"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

The first concert I ever attended was a John Denver concert way back in 1984, granted I was only 3 or 4 months old and shoved under bleachers. The first rock concert I attended on my own was the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters in 2001 I believe. Just pure awesome! Dave Grohl went out into the crowd with his guitar and started climbing this pillar while singing Everlong. Just an amazing concert and holds a special place in my heart.

Ratt 1986. Poison was the opening act.

All I can say is that a good time and a contact high was had by all.

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

I think it was the Beach Boys in 1963 at the armory in West orange, NJ. I graduated HS in 1962 and spent the Summer in CA, my introduction to surfing and the "surfing" music.

It was either Billy Joel or Hall & Oates in the late 70's.

Rush Signals tour 1982. Pittsburgh Civic Arena.

I have a lot of fond memories of that building. I even have a couple of Christmas ornaments made from the remains of the roof after they tore it down.
