I saw "Spirit" at Pirates World (sorta like Six Flags) in 1967, I was 12.
But my first REAL Concert was in Virginia Beach, Virginia in 1970 JOE COCKER And The GUESS WHO!!!!!
Been to hundreds of concerts since then. My boyfriend was a Disc Jockey in Jacksonville Florida. He MC'd all of the concerts. We were at all of the Homecomming Concerts for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker and Charlie Daniels! Ahhhhhhh... yes, those were the days.
Some days I do not have much recollection of at all... Like the Bad Company Aerosmith concert. My friends carried me out by my arms and legs, I was passed out! I drove, so they layed me on the ground by my van till the parking lot at the Colliseum emptied, then woke me up to drive us all home!

bob1959: Blue Oyster Cult What can I say. At least it wasn't ABBA!!
hey there.. just caught your thread in the next a.m here. caught b.o.c a little later on, though have been a fan for many years. saw them in bristol (uk) when they did "imaginoes" tour. they had a different drummer, but rest were all there. we all went crazy when donald rosier picked up the sg and started playing "don't fear the reaper".. and on one of the encore numbers eric bloom did a great rendition of the doors road house blues.

NAKEDMUDPEOPLE: Deep Purple The Beach Boys Black Sabbath I think, those were the days of youth. I know there were others but I don't remember.
hey.. how are you. this is another of my "next morning" posts. so forgive the delay. saw deep purple early on too, when they still had ian gillan on vocals. we used to have something called "dial a disk" in the uk. and i can recall being with about 5 other guys, all trying to leap around in a phone booth to "black night".. crazy days.. but so much fun
