Correction, first FRONT ROW show, my FIRST show was Led Zepplin and Judas Priest, Kingdome Seattle July 17th, 1977, again Mom hooked me up big time.
Judas Priest was my favorite band after that for years, had Rob Halford plastered all over my walls, wasn't really clued into the gay thing back then, though in hindsight it's sooooo freekin obvious, heh?! [/b]
I'm confused. Zeppelin & Priest never played together. [/QB]
You're confused because I confused you, not because Priest never played with Zeppelin.
Backstory, growing up in Tacoma, WA we didn't have professional sports outside of the Supersonics until the Kingdom was built, so the closest NFL & MLB was in Oakland were we had season tickets for the Raiders. It made sense at the time as my folks met in the Bay area where they were undergrads.
Anyway when they built the Kingdom we got the Seahawks and Mariners, and my folks got season tickets for the Seahawks and along with it priviledges for shows at the venue, and so how/why we were able to go to the Zeppelin show, where JP did not play.
However that following weekend, we went to shows in Oakland where JP along with others played with Zeppelin, again hooked up primarilly because of having season tickets.
My parents sold out, and became "Seahawkers" shortly after while I'm still a diehard Raiders and A's fan.
Moral of the story, 30 years can play havoc with memories, but I did become Priest fan after those episodes, and they were my introduction to concert going, and I'm obviously still scarred...
True Story.
