Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a madman. Vancouver BC/June/'82.

My first show was Poison and Warrant back in high school. My girlfriend at the time was decked out with big hair and chains and I had on my holey jeans. Good stuff.

My second show was decidedly better...Pink Floyd. An amazing show.

OMG this is one of my favorite live albums of.all.time

The acoustic Bob side has some AWESOME versions of songs.

My mother brought me to a Bruce Springsteen concert for my first concert ever about ten years ago. I saw him earlier this year too... the guy has still got it!!

I just scrolled through the whole forum.  It reminded me of some great people who were once regulars on this site.  Great posts, very entertaining.  I posted mine long ago, it was David Cassidy...yuk...had to go.  Seems like he's back in the news nowadays...

Might have been at that show.  Public Hall.  Livingston Taylor (James bro) opened.  Not sure the year.  Tull was awesome that night.  Great vito A made it even better.  One of the best concerts I ever attended, period.

It was funny about Taylor opening cuz I saw Tull at the Forum in LA in 71 do Aqualung and Taylor opened for them there, too.  Was 10 rows up right behind and above the stage.  Might as well have been onstage because we got to see everything that was going on.

Jethro Tull, Passion play. Cleveland Ohio. around 1974. Went to Navy bootcamp the next day, good thing they did not piss test.

ELO? 

August 14, 1971. ELP. Asbury Park Convention Hall. Or it could have been August 19, 1972, same venue. I thought I remembered that Mountain had opened. Then again, it was the first time I toked.

It took awhile to figure out.  I've already posted something for a rock concert other than a HS concert.  But other than an orchestra, this was the first one I ever went to.  I was one of the kids in the audience not on the stage  Berkeley Community Theatre, 1962 ... Saw JFK speak at the UC stadium that year, too.

At the High School I attended I saw concerts in the late 60's by The Crystals, The Animals and Roy Orbison. Went to Woodstock with a friend who just got his first car. We missed part of the first day. I saw Renaissance, Fleetwood Mac and Jethro Tull all in '71. Also saw The Guess Who at the Wisconsin State Fair in '72.  The first concert I went to that wasn't at the High School was in '68 when I went to the Grant Park Bandshell in Chicago to see Muddy Waters and Sly and the Stoned Family. Muddy Waters was great but Sly never showed and a riot ensued ending rock concerts for decades there.
