What Was Your First Live Concert? - Page 5

TiddyBaby · 04-24-2006, 07:40 AM

Mom took to me see Elvis when he did the Louisiana Hayride tour/shows, but I was only about 3 or 4yr old... don't remember.

When I was mid-teens or I saw the Beach Boys in concert in Dallas, when they came out with "Good Vibrations" That one I remember.

After the 70s beget... I saw many multiple concert/showcases rock-jazz-blues.

(some of those I remember) My faves were Miles Davis, Blood Sweat and Tears, Nina Simone, Herbie Hancock, ZZ Top (but no one new them, they had no albums out yet), and the phenomenal Chase, (died in air crash) ... a four trumpet rock band and all could scream into the stratosphere like Maynard Ferguson.

Other than them, use to skip school to drive the Denton, TX to sneak shows of North Texas State University 1 O'clock Lab Band

tiddy- you are truly after my musical heart. beatles, monkeys....great early pop music. (but i bet the screaming WAS really loud.)

Now that I know you're a musician, 20, your handle finally makes sense to me. Now...*why* do you need a 20 cents shift in your tuning? Playing some nasty old blues, or are you backing a bunch of pennywhistle players (which is what I do a lot)?

Cream - Goodbye Tour, November 8, 1968. Fifteenth row, center, $5.50.
Show opener; "White Room". Don't remember much else (for obvious reasons . . .).

Several Species. Floyd cover band. Very good.

KinkyVixen · 04-27-2006, 03:57 PM

Lady Luck · 04-27-2006, 04:03 PM

BLACK SABBATH - 08/05/1975 Convention Hall, Asbury Park, NJ
My sister was babysitting me, and she wanted to go to the show.
She got told "Fine, but you're taking the kid with you."
I was 4 fucking years old.
This might explain my facination with "Dolcett".
I gotta remember to thank her...

Wallflowers .. I was only like 14 and in love with jacob dylan ... first REAL concert was Iron Maiden about three years ago.

mrnoodle · 05-05-2006, 09:24 AM

It's funny, now that I think on it...I've been to about a half dozen concerts in the last couple of years, and they're the same damn bands from 1988.

I don't think I have ever been to a "new" band's show. I must have been, but I can't recall any (well, Porcupine Tree. But they're not really new, just new to the big scene).

Stormieweather · 05-05-2006, 10:02 AM

Throughout my late teens and early twenties, I was traveling and didn't have any opportunities to go to concerts (I don't think anyone was interested in booking a concert in Saudi Arabia

).

After settling back in the states, the first commercial concert I ever attended was Ozzie Ozborne with Survivor opening. Ozzie had a great show although I kept waiting for him to bite the head off of something. Alas, he never did.

New York Rock and Roll Ensemble, at Temple University Music Festival. It was a couple years later that I saw Pink Floyd do the Meddle tour at the Tower Theater.

yes wow maybe only assies and kiwis may know this one but Wendy Mathews It was a free concert in Kings Park about the only type of concert I can afford. Although did by tickets for Violent Femms but of cause they cancelled about two weeks before the event so that was a non-event but in Kalgoorlie that is what you get more often then not.
