[rgraham666]

Beggars Banquet II. Summer 1972. One of those huge all afternoon and night things

Headliners were Black Sabbath and Three Dog Night. Peter Frampton was on the bill as well. I can't remember any of the other bands.

Was the last concert I went to as well. Too many people, too close together for me.

And I was answering phones that weren't ringing for two weeks afterwards.

Chicago, Mid-South Collosium, Sep/Oct of '76. Before Kath died.
Had to get away from home(i.e. parents) before I could go to any concerts.

Pretty nice venue,
large enough for the bigger acts but rather small and intimate overall,
Not a real big place.
I enjoyed it.

[Lucifer_Carroll]

Weird Al, was older than most of the audience
followed by my second concert: Iron Maiden, where I was younger than most of the audience.


Someday I may be with people my age, but I doubt it. I hate modern music.

Luckily now I'm pretty soundly with people older when I go to concerts. Though it can be depressing. Jethro Tull at a casino.

 

[Guest]

Um, the opera Carmen at the Lyric Opera in Kansas City, Mo.

I know. I'm a mess.

But my second concert?

Van Halen at Kemper Arena, also in Kansas City (1984?)

I'm nothing if not eclectic.

Kemper was pretty good. I managed to see a wide variety of artists through the 1980's and early 1990's. From RUSH to the Eagles, from AC/DC and Black Sabbath to Styx and Jackson Browne and Bob Seger.

Billy Idol and Night Ranger. I have no idea what year 1982 or 83 maybe.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Greatful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, the Griffith Park Love-in, um.... Probably 1967 or therabouts... we kids all played with the bands' kids, while our parents grooved.

First concert that I actually chose to go to, was David Bowie And The Spiders from Mars, the Alladin Sane tour. What was that, 74?

[hugo_sam]

Ah My tunnel vision strikes again.
I was only thinking of 'rock' type concerts.

Orchectra / Symphany / Piano Concerts
too many to remember or remember artists.
Most revolved around the Atlanta Symphany in the old hall before they rebuilt.
Only think I was there a few times after the big remodel in 70-71 or so,

Guess it goes to show about different meanings for the same words.
*embarrassed*
