What was your first concert? ~LoisLane~: I remember my first concert. I was pretty young and it was soooo exciting.I have been to soo many through the years but my very first one (not including things like The Ice Capades ect..) Was The Jackson Five *The Victory Tour*. OMG was it ever amazing. I will never forget it. There are only a few people I would bother to go see in concert now. (I mean shizz everyone is like 80 now hahaha) But I will never forget the first one. It was hard to top. What was your first concert? Or at least your most memorable one to date miss gege: the Munch Brothers at the CNE free concerts .... just a cover band doing Bad Company, BTO, Guess Who....but were cute ~LoisLane~: That sounds good. At least they were covering some good bands How old were you when you went. miss gege: 16 with my sister and no parents ginny is 3yrs older than me....but didn't stop me from flirting with the band ....that's when i had marcia marcia marcia hair Harlet: was who ever sang it's a beaultful morning, i think i'll go out side and smile for awhile, take in some clean fresh air. Anne aka Mags: Marcia Hines was my first concert. An American woman who made her home in Australia! this is her singing with a couple of aussie comedians lol  Geoff: 8 yrs old, sitting on my dad's shoulders - Queen at Wembley. One of the defining moments of my childhood.  Malobear: Lois is wanting me to tell my age,hmmm ok Atlanta Pop Festival 1970 and here is who played: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta_International_Pop_Festival_  justchazz: I was at the Bob Seger concert that was recorded for the "Live Bullet" album in Detroit. There 800 billion people who make that claim but I was actually there. That was my first concert. Ah, good times...  StuckInTheSixties: Perfect timing! Last week I went shopping and bought a bunch of music. One of the things I bought was a box set by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Last night I was looking over the booklet for that box set, and it included a picture of a poster for a gig Creedence played, the San Francisco International Pop Festival, on October 26-27, 1968. That was my first concert. Seeing that poster got my curiousity going. I remembered that Creedence was there, as well as a number of other groups, but I wondered if there was a source on the web that would recount just who played the fest. So I began searching. I came across a website where people were talking about it, offering up their memories, etc. Here's the little essay I included for that: This was the first rock concert I ever attended. I was 15, living in Napa, and a big fan of Iron Butterfly at the time. They were the main reason I wanted to go. Somehow I talked my mom into taking me! We drove down there in the family station wagon, and even spent the night there, sleeping in the car, between shows. My mom spent both days sitting up in the grandstand, meeting other parents who were there. I went down in front of the stage and hung out there with all of the dope smoking hippies. I was so young and innocent. It was great! Can you imagine a housewife today, taking her teenager to a two day rock festival, and turning him loose to just disappear into the crowd for hours on end? While I was there for Iron Butterfly, the biggest impression on me was made by Jose Feliciano, which surprised me. I wasn't particularly interested in him or his music, but he blew the place apart! I remember that the Chambers Brothers were fantastic, too. Actually, I was impressed with every single band over both days. I've been poking around on the web, trying to find an accurate, complete list of the bands that performed. As someone else has said, I'm quite sure that The Everpresent Fullness was not on that bill. One band I'm pretty sure was there, but I've seen no other mention of, was Aum. This is who I've been able to come up with: Lee Michaels Buddy Miles Express Eric Burdon & the Animals Canned Heat The Grass Roots Deep Purple Procol Harum Creedence Clearwater Revival Iron Butterfly Jose Feliciano The Chambers Brothers Rejoice Mad River Johnny Rivers Aum Fraternity Of Man Loading Zone Womb Juno: My first concert was The Cockroaches and now they are known as The Wiggles. Back then they were pop Gods. I think I was 14. The lead singer is Captain Feathersword now lmao DeziDee: omfg lois, mine was judas priest, and i stole a 26'er of carrington rye from my parents liquor cabinet, and between my 3 gf's and me we only had enough for a small coke, lmfaoooooooooooo, i ended up puking on this blonde chick sitting in front of me (3x) , ughs Taima: You wont believe it (even I don't believe it, and I was there). Slim Dusty!!!!!!!!!  I was 12 and my parents dragged me there kicking & screaming.  davidk14: . Sixties, We are the same generation, living in the same place, living in the same time in the 60's and 70's in the San Francisco Bay Area during the most exciting times for music. I saw Blood, Sweat and Tears in SF in the early seventies. I was at a USF dance and Chicago was playing as the band before their first record. For a week, I spent time with Janis and her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company before her first record and dance the nights away....it was awsome. I sort of remember going to GG Park at Speedway Meadows for numberous bands on the weekends. I sort of remember going to concerts at the....um...what was the name of that concert place...in SF...dang...just can't recall that place... Good times...good memories...the ones I can remember anyway... Edit note: Just rememebered.....Avalon Ballroom __Kally_: pretty sure it was my first ...lol... Foreighner....they were awesome!!!!!!hi lois!!! *waves* (Post deleted by staff ) neoQpid: never been in concert!! never been in concert!! but this was the first i saw ..n bryan adams summer of 69 so i guess i was there mentally.... ~LoisLane~: WOW there are some pretty good concerts people have gone too (lols @ Malo ) Some I have also wanted to see ESP Queen and Billy Joel (such a regret I missed him and Elton when they came ) I also missed George Michael a few yrs ago cuz no one wanted to go with me hahaha and ESP didnt want to pay those prices, so I missed him. Its funny when you see a band more then twice, I mean thats love right there lols. I only saw Aerosmith and Metallica more then once (was worth it). I still always wanted to see the Beastie Boys, that would have been awesome. (and of course most of the Rock bands from the day). | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
