I too saw Led Zeppellin circa:  1972/74(?) at MSG in NYC.  Actually, I think I saw them twice, but the first time was the most exciting.  Our seats were in the first loge up from the ground floor seats, right in the middle of the arena.  So excited.  I can even remember what I wore.  A brown n blue plaid flannel shirt w/my very best faded blue ragged bell bottoms and probably had desert boots on. 

 

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were THE rock gods of all time, imo.

Too many to mention, but a few of the most memorable are The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, and Heart

At a Rock 'n' Roll concert, I first saw The Flamingos. I never forgot. The way they sang of course, but the way they moved. Smoooooth.

Like some have said, "too many to mention."

 

I'm an avid concert goer starting with the Beatles in 1963.

 

Some standouts include Journey (with Steve Perry), Moody Blues, Eddie Money, Don Henley...

 

I prefer small venues now, and two concerts we had scheduled for this fall are now on permanent hold.

 

Nothing like a live concert!

But the first one I ever attended was The Rolling Stones.

 

 


My first rock concert was also The Rolling Stones.  I was 13 when I went to the September 1981 tour to promote Tattoo You at JFK in Philiadelphia.  I was close enough to the stage that I threw a frisbee and Mick Jagger caught it!

Janis Joplin and Big Brother at the Newport Folk Festival, earlier career days. Electrifying. The refrigerator sized amps were controversil for some.....

 

Other notables, the Beatles, the Who, the Kinks, Cream. if a band had a concert I probably saw them...those were the days.

 

Another memorable, Linda Ronstadt and the Pigeons (later Vanilla Fudge). Early, early career. I was about 10 feet from her at a beach venue.

Oh my! Jaspersmom, my husband would talk to you all day just to find out about that adventure.He so loves his Beatles!
He is also Stones fan.I have to say that was the best concert I ever went to.
Second was a fave of mine Kiss.Went with hubby & best friends.Had been to several of theirs but this night Kiss Army was in rare form.The surge of the fans all behind the band was sooo intense is what stands out.
Start one with the worst...i have a few.
