Very First Concert.........What Was Yours???
I'm definately going to be giving my age away here...my first concert was The Who in 1968. I was in 4th grade at the time.......without question, the LOUDEST show I've ever been to and I've been to many over the years.

I can't quite remember (I'll have to check my ticket stubs),....It was either Al Dimeola in San Diego...or Jethro Tull with Uriah Heep at the L.A. Forum...both were in 1977.

I think it was Ozzy Osbourne on the first show of the Bark At The Moon world tour. It was a great show and I enjoyed seeing Bark At the Moon played live for the very first time.

Sixpounder......Yeah, what a memory! From long ago and far away!!! The concert was held in a local gymnasium of sorts...very small. The stage was about 2 feet tall with kids DANCING in front of it. This was, from what I understood later, the first visit/tour in the U.S by The Who. I can recall "I Can See For Miles" was getting tons of airplay. I may be incorrect when I said 1968. I could have been late '67. I had just started 4th grade. The show was not far from where I lived.....none of my friends were interested so SOMEHOW I managed to con my mom into dropping me off. To this day, she says she should have had her head examined for doing so.....but she did and I just hooked up with some high school kids who let me hang with them! I can still see Townsend doing his "windmills" in this tiny hall.....and the VOLUME!!!!!! MY GOD!!!!!! I couldn't hear for days.......what a great memory.
