    Probably a New York Philharmonic Young People's Concert with Leonard Bernstein in the mid 1950s. First rock concert: The Beatles at Shea Stadium, 1965.

    Sha Na Na .... Fillmore West ... 1971 Great Show!

    I'm pretty sure my first was Sha Na Na too, but it was later, after they were more mainstream. Circa 1981, probably at the South Shore Music Circus in Massachusetts.

    I wanted to go see David Cassidy in 1972 but my mother said no. I wish she was still alive so I could thank her for not letting me waste my time and money.

    Anyone went to this?

    The Moondog Coronation Ball was a concert held at the Cleveland Arena in Cleveland, Ohio on March 21, 1952. It is generally accepted as the first major rock and roll concert.

    I saw Elvis in concert in 1973 (?). That was my first concert and I was 11 years old. 40 years later, I still remember it vividly. When he walked onstage, the people went CRAZY. Like a deity had just appeared.

    May 9, 1981 Grateful Dead @ Nassau Coliseum - first of MANY concerts. Leaving in a little while to see the Allman Brothers at the Beacon Theater, one of their last 6 shows ever.....

    Bump. Because I like Macstraw's taste.

    Can't swear which concert was my first, but either Bob Seger or Roxy Music.

    Beat you by a few years on GD, though, Macstraw -- was lucky enough to see Keith and Donna. But '81 was a very good year. Hope you enjoyed that Beacon show!

    Linkin Park, 2003. My mum surprised me with tickets on the concert day itself, after my dad kept refusing to get them for me.

    I wish I could have been at an Elvis concert. My sister had the chance but my mom said no. At that concert Elvis threw out his scarf and my sister's friend caught it and she cut it in half and shared it with the girl she took instead of my sister. My first concert I only went to because a friend begged me to and it was New Kids on the Block. How sad that it ended up being my only concert.

    I went to concerts instead of some of my college courses.

    The times they are a-changing. I mean have a-changed. A whole lot. (You probably studied those lines in your Ancient Music course :smile: )
