    Alice Cooper - 1970 or '71. I was 13 and thought I'd be grounded for life after my mom saw the crowd when she picked us up.

    My first concert was the Stampeders in 1974. You probably have to be over 50 and Canadian to remember my favourite song that year, Sweet City Woman. Shout out to all the Calgarians on MFP!

    Great Song.

    Yes it is!

    Motley Crue opening for Ozzy in Memphis; 1984.

    I never really got into metal, then or now, but I was in the Navy attending training outside Memphis and I was the only one in my cohort with a car... I traded transportation for tickets... :\

    The first concert I attended that was my choice was Rush in San Diego; 1986.
