Re: What was your first concert?
Yes. I’ve seen them prob 20 or so times. Bad ass live band.
As a side note they are my Fav band but not my fav live show. That would be a four way tie. Elton John, Social Distortion , U2 ( pre- Zoo TV) and Chris Stapleton.
Each for different reasons but all just soo amazing live.

Re: What was your first concert?
I remember seeing Metallica at monsters of rock in 88 I think. Was a good show by them.
One of my favorites was Tom Petty in Dover at firefly festival several years ago. Seen AC/DC several times those were always great shows.

Re: What was your first concert?
I went to most of the Beach Boys concert at the DC mall July 4th, 1980-85. Supposed to have been estimated at about 400,000 people there. It's the closest thing to Woodstock that I have attended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrzHX9-dj88
They were banned from playing there for a year in 83. Why, you ask? Because the Beach Boys were a "rock" band and they wanted to go to a more family oriented act, replaced by Wayne Newton. Seems the Interior Secretary Watt said the Beach Boys "draw the wrong element, a mob of college age whites, drinking lots of beer and smoking Marijuana". (The Horror). Watt admits now that he hadn’t even heard of the Beach Boys at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KYDc8cKxPM

The Guess Who featured Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, both Canadians. Cummings went solo as a singer for a while. Bachman left to create BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive) and recorded “Looking Out For Number One”, one of my all-time favorites. Mellow rock, where have you gone? (I thought it would never fade.)
