General Music Chat

What was the first concert you ever went to?

Haha. Janie Frickey. (Or however ya spell it.)
She was a country, country/rock singer that had that 'Jose Cuervo' song.
"Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine... I like to drink you with a little salt and lime.. ", etc.
At a local fair.
The bass was so loud and low that I thought I was going to be sick. Made your heart flutter, or at least it felt like it mine did.

Chicago Transit Authority, 1969 - I was in stage band in school and my parents thought it would be a good idea since we played some of their music charts in Jr. High School, so my oldest sister took me. Had a good time other than the big sis acting as parent treatment. lol !

earliest one I can recall was Village People
...no kidding

Cat Stevens was the 1st big-time oncert I ever attended. It was his last show in the US. It was awesome!

Bad company back in the 90s

CLAPTON in 74...The sound was for CRAP, BUT, its was quite an exp....

John Denver in '75 when I was 4. I remember the orange glow of the stage and thats about it. I saw the Statler Bros around the same time. All I can recall about that was which side of the auditorium we sat on.

I'm not posting the Lick it up song.. That was just all around horrid. (even though I loved KISS as a kid.. Ace Frehley was the s**t!!)

Either Wet Willie or Pot Liquor, a couple of weeks apart, 1972 or so. Won the tickets to both on local radio, first person to identify the song they played. Rarely took me more than 3 or 4 notes...also won a ticket to see Shaft. Decent movie...concerts were better though...
