    For me it was Neil Young & Crazy Horse at the L.A. Forum on November 4th, 1976.
    I was 16 years old and it was a school night but me and my friends drove 100 miles south to see this concert. Of course our car was a rolling party with beer and flaming shots being consumed!

    The next day I woe up and went to school and thought I dreamed the whole thing! It was unreal!

    It may have been Van Halen, but I can't remember for sure. Those were some hazy, crazy times!

    My mother dropped myself and two of my best friends to this day off at the Memorial Coliseum... It was one of the greatest days of my 14 year-old life!

    I did see Kenny Rogers while at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1977 when I was in 4th. grade, but no way I'm counting that :)

    I don't remember if I saw Bill Cosby or Victor Borge first.

    Music, it was Don McLean.

    :thumbsup: Dude, what a way to kick things off.


    I wish I could definitely remember my first big-name concert. It might have been Golden Earring/Lynyrd Skynyrd/Blue Oyster Cult, 10 July 1974(?) Columbia, SC Coliseum. I'm just not sure. But I do remember the 20 minute "Radar Love." :)
