About 35 years overdue - my first rock concert.

Good job, Stray.

Got me to thinking of shows I've been too.

I remember my first real concert was in grade school when I went to see the Osmonds in like 1975 or 1976. 

Saw The Police on the Synchronicity Tour.
Saw Culture Club.
Saw Billy Joel on the Nylon Curtain tour.
Saw Harry Connick at the Orpheum here in Memphis. 
Saw Edie Brickell and New Bohemians there too.
Saw Indigo Girls there too.
Saw the Go-Gos at the Mud Island Amphitheatre (INXS was the opening act!)
Saw Terence Trent D'Arby at a standing room only gig in a ballroom at the Peabody.
Saw Rush on the Moving Pictures tour.
Saw Journey.
Saw B-52's in Nashville.
Saw Cheap Trick.  (At the same festival, saw a great band from the '80's I doubt anyone will remember: Split Enz)
Went to Lollapallooza in '90 and saw Arrested Development (and can't tell you much more than that as my memory of that is spotty at best)
Saw Prince 3 times:  Purple Rain tour (mind-blowing for me at 18), Lovesexy tour (it was in the round, he drove a Thunderbird on stage, had a couple of musical interludes during which he let the band jam and he shot basketball) and then saw him again 1997.
Saw U2 in the Liberty Bowl also in 1998, possibly the greatest show I've ever seen.  They sang all their greatest hits and the whole audience sang along with nearly every song and when 62,000 people sing In The Name Of Love, it's pretty powerful.
And one time, I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn play in a bar on Beale Street after hours.  (I wish I hadn't been so young, dumb and drunk to realize what I was seeing.)

Where did you stay?

At the festival on the grounds, wherever i could find a place to lay down.

Hot sweaty muddy and loud. Water was hard to come by. I mostly wandered from group to group. One girl gave me a slice of watermelon. Best i ever had.

My family drove by , it was an amazeing sight from the road , but we didn't slow down much.

Pooch, I'm so glad you got to go see them. 
I can relate to being po'.  I've only seen a meager  handful of concerts.  The first one was the Stones in 1972.  I remember being scandalized at the cost: SIX whole dollars.  That was a lot of money. 
And I really don't remember much about the Rolling Stones themselves at that concert, other than being kind of ticked they didn't play the old songs I knew (like Heart of Stone).  I was absolutely blown away by Stevie Wonder.  I didn't know he was blind until I saw the back up singers conga-ing him over to the microphone.

My first concert was The Who's "Final Concert" in Toronto in 82(?). And I saw them again in the 90s. I have been to several Rush concerts as well, and a bunch of Jimmy Buffett - his are always a party. Oh yeah, Fleetwood Mac twice. A few others .38 Special, Christopher Cross, Evanescence, Seether, etc.

My first concert was Three Dog Night!!

Then a year later Elton John live in Las Crusces That was a show!

Speaking of concerts, I'm watching "The Song Remains the Same" right now.

It's really cool when you can find a movie on Netflix, and within 2 minutes be watching it on the big screen.
