It took awhile to figure out. I've already posted something for a rock concert other than a HS concert. But other than an orchestra, this was the first one I ever went to. I was one of the kids in the audience not on the stage Berkeley Community Theatre, 1962 ... Saw JFK speak at the UC stadium that year, too.

At the High School I attended I saw concerts in the late 60's by The Crystals, The Animals and Roy Orbison. Went to Woodstock with a friend who just got his first car. We missed part of the first day. I saw Renaissance, Fleetwood Mac and Jethro Tull all in '71. Also saw The Guess Who at the Wisconsin State Fair in '72. The first concert I went to that wasn't at the High School was in '68 when I went to the Grant Park Bandshell in Chicago to see Muddy Waters and Sly and the Stoned Family. Muddy Waters was great but Sly never showed and a riot ensued ending rock concerts for decades there.

1973 YES, touring Close to the Edge. Can't remember where I just put my car keys, but by the gods I can still sing the lyrics to Heart of The Sunrise.

First concert - Big Brother & the Holding Co. , Quicksilver Messenger Service, & Oxford Circle 2/18/1967 @ Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, Ca. Outstanding show… Many more to follow in the city and throughout the Bay Area. Best concert ever (a very tough call)… Springsteen, December 1977 @ Winterland, San Francisco, Ca.

My first was his last: Elvis. June 26,1977. I was sixteen, and I actually got my mother, who was from the 'evil hip shakin' devil's music generation' to actually take me and my older brother, our seats couldn't have been further back at Market Square Arena, the little white blob may have been overweight.... hard to tell but his voice was incredible. I remember him saying this was the end of his tour, next stop was Graceland and rest. Little did we know how eternal of a rest he was talking about.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Think it was around 1972. At a small bandshell at Wonderland Gardens in London, ON. I was mesmerized. We all sat on the floor, almost could touch the drum kit. They trashed the stage, finished with 'Lucky Man', the big gong smashing away. Pretty funny.

I think it was Kenny Rogers and the First Edition about 1968 in OKC.?? He was rock n' roll then instead of country.

My Dad used to take me to hear big band music in Ireland when I was a kid and before that I recall going to outdoors concerts in Pomona, CA to hear some philharmonic orchestra.

A Canadian band called The Guess Who. Played American Woman,These Eyes,Takin Care of Business,etc. Really fine Rock band and nice guys. It had to be 120 degrees that night at the Kitchener Auditorium and they never bitched once.
I think I drank a gallon of h20 during the show.
