We've been listing our first record albums, how about your first concert?

Mine was Bobby Sherman.  Late 60's or early 1970 in New Jersey.

Amphitheater. We sat it the second to last row.  I was in absolute heaven. 

He was my teen heartthrob. Spent making Saturday's with my friends buying 16, Tiger Beat, Flip and Fave magazines and putting scrapbooks (multiple volumes) together.

So long ago that I only remember Jackie Wilson & a duo that if I remember correctly were Billy & Lilly. Don't remember who else

It was held in a movie theatre in my hometown and hardly anybody showed up because my high school and another high school were playing the biggest rivalry game of the year. I don't even remember if it was football or basketball.

Due to hardly anyone being there they stopped the concert early.

Gary Lewis and the Playboys in our hometown (late 70's).  We got backstage...I got a kiss on the cheek!  (He is Jerry Lewis' son...and was disinherited by his father).

1971.  .Jethro Tull.  It was the Aqualung tour.  I didn't know anything about them and had never heard the album!  But my friends were going and invited me along.  I can remember being shocked at what was going on around me!

Well, my dad played in a jazz band in the 40's - 60's, so I went to a lot of 'big band' concerts during my childhood.   The first concert I went to with friends in school was one of those D-i-c-k Clark Variety shows:  Jackie DeShannon, 4 Tops, and several others taking their turns lip-syncing their records.

I never went to many concerts.  Only a few.  I didn't live near concerts, and couldn't afford them in college.

So I only went to the Stones twice, Journey, Michael Buble, and the Black Eyed Peas.

I am not a big concert goer--too loud, too many people, to much of a mess to slog through.

But plays and symphony and opera. . . I like a LOT better!
