First concert... Timex Social Club, Dothan Civic Center, around 1983. Also source of my first concert T-shirt, which I still have.

First rock concert, Cheap Trick, Alexander Memorial Coliseum, 1988. Volunteer student roadie, but since I was the only to show, I got to sit and watch sound check with the soundboard operator.

June,1977...Elvis, Omaha Civic Auditorium.
He was great, put on a consummate performance.
He took complete control of the crowd through his interaction with us.

I believe it was Chicago at the Houston Summit in 1983 or 84. Won the tickets on the radio.

Best $15 I ever spent on music.

Damn nice, $15.00 to see The Who, with Carlos and The Clash thrown in, just awesome!
Wish I'd hung on to some of those old ticket stubs, I can't remember what I paid to see Led Zepplin in '75 but I'm sure it wasn't much.

^^^^^. You were there too? Man, it was hotter than hell that day. I remember they were cooling us down by spraying the crowd with the fire hoeses. Well, it could have just been a garden hose, I snuck in a bottle of 151 Bacardi for the show. It was amazing.

Back to the OP. My first concert was Survivor as they played a day concert in the parking lot of Marriotts Great America in Gurnee Ill. Think it was just before Rockey III took off in 1982. If that doesn't qualify, my next show was Accept at the Caberet Metro in Chicago in March of 1984. Interesting times....

Paul Butterfield Blues Band in about 1968 in Milwaukee Wisconsin. This was a very smokey event - and not from cigarettes.

I loved these guys and prior to joining the Navy, i was in a band that played a lot of this type of music.

I wish I had a cooler first concert to claim, but mine was Loverboy back in, I think, '82, maybe late '81. It should have been The Kinks, which would have been a cooler story, but they cancelled their concert, and this Loverboy concert was the concert that we went to instead.
