What was your first concert?
« on: November 23, 2003, 11:42:00 am »
My first show was Van Halen, May 7, 1980 at the Philadelphia Spectrum, the Women and Children First Tour. The first song "Romeo Delight".
 
 We made the two hour drive from northern Jersey and had to go to Philly to see them b/c VH didn't play NY on that tour. I didn't have a license yet and my buddy's older brother drove us in their brown Chevy Nova--6 of us packed in there. Somehow I got my mom to let me go b/c it was a school night.
 
 I had 3 beers that night and was hammered. David Lee Roth smoked a joint onstage. It was a great show.

I am an old fart.  1st show was at Forman Field at ODU.  CSN&Y early 70s.  The guy who thought he could fly and tried to prove it by climb the light pole and diving off was rather entertaining.

At the very tender age of 13, my first concert was the Grateful Dead in May 1977 at the Baltimore Civic Center.

Very similar here too.  Saw the dead at Merriweather at about 13, so that would be 1984.  Some woman next to us was trying to explain about the giant baby that was floating over the stage.  Never did see that.
 
 Two good sets, before they slowed to the point of 4 songs per set.

Prince on the Purple rain tour at the Cap Center.  Must have been 1984 I suppose.  It rocked!  A few months later I saw U2 on the Unforgettable Fire tour and it was all over for me then....
