Roxy Music/The Sharks around about 1971/72..
There used to be a bar near where I lived that had live music and I remember seeing the Average White Band,Frankie Miller,Simple Minds way before they were famous.
The wildest gig I was ever at was The Dammed headlining with the Dead Boys from New York as support, ended up a mass battle between punks and skinheads Happy days!!!

Kiss at Red Rock Amphitheatre back when I was probably 7 or 8 years old ...next was Toto in the Pensacola Municipal Auditorium around 74-75....last concert held there since the vibration was shaking it off it's pilings and they were afraid it was going to fall into Pensacola Bay. Don't remember the Kiss concert that well but the Toto one was fantastic....had some early generation lasers which totally blew me away.

Don't know if this counts, but my mother worked at the local cinema as the book-keeper. As TV started to take a hold in the late 50's the cinema occasionally held live concerts - I managed to sneak in about 15 minutes of one with Lonnie Donegan and Tommy Steele once.

I was only about 9 or 10, and I think it must have put me off for a while as the next event wasn't until I was 16 and riding around on a chrome-bubbled Vespa 160GS (picture not of mine, sadly - used to have a pic, but think it went the way of many that my parents had when they had the odd clearout), and was the original Moody Blues with singer Denny Laine in Balham South London (still have the 45 rpm record 'Go Now' up in the loft somewhere...)
