First -real- concert was back in 81 or 82 I believe.
I was 14 or 15.

Scorpion's and Rainbow.

That was also the first day I was served beer. Everyone in the car (top age 18) were arguing who would get the beer for the trip. I was the youngest. As a joke I walked into a beer distributorship and asked for a case of Bud. The guy looked at me and laughed, then handed me the case and took my $10. It was warm and thus decidedly less-than-delicious.

When they came out, Peter said, My name is Peter and I am no disciple, Paul said, My name is Paul and I am no apostle, and then Mary said, My name is Mary and I am no virgin. We thought that was sooooo cool.

First concert, 1975 - The Milwaukee Arena, Three Dog Night. Attended with a certain young gal (13 days younger than me) who is now my bride.

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son

Second concert, 1976, The Milwaukee Arena. I was 15.

Tickets = $6.75

First time I had ever witnessed ganja being consumed. I looked across the aisle and saw three guys passing a contraption, to which a non-rebreather mask had been affixed. No lie.

Opening act: Thin Lizzy

Middle Act: Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band

Headliner: Bachman-Turner Overdrive

First concert, believe I was 15. Doobie Brothers at San Diego Sports Area. My friend and I convince my mom that her sisters boyfriend could take us. It was fun.

Second one, later that year I think, was at Anaheim stadium. My uncle managed America then, and America was part of the venue that day, he sent me 8 tickets which meant I had lots of friends that day. America, Santana and The Beach Boys! Believe that was 1976.

I cant remember what my first concert was. I have seen Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Judas Priest, Meatloaf, Def Leppard(x2), Kenny Rodgers, Allan Jackson, The Beach Boys, Foreigner, Styx, Kansas, White Snake, U2, Loverboy (x3), Kiss, Steve Miller Band, Mr. Big, Eddie Money, REO Speedwagon, and probably some more that I have forgotten. Just think of all that money I could have saved if I would have stayed home and just listened to the records. Nah!! There are some I don't remember and some I will never forget.

Ha ha. Silly Brew, my uncle John was in the MUSIC business and managed the music group America. He also worked with the Eagles in their earlier days, Poco, Crosby and Nash, and I"m not sure who else. My Uncle Phil, his brother, did alot of the album work. Remember the horse on Poco Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

The parents weren't so approving of my music scene and the tie in with drugs at the time to allow concerts with Woodstock a few months earlier, so we innocently asked to go to the Auto Show downtown January 1970 and were allowed. But it was breakout local talent playing we went to see, Alice Cooper. The real thing in freaks at the time. Caught all the Detroit concert scene after that.

Back in the day, an old brick building on Tchoupitoulas Street called The Warehouse was the venue for touring bands with New Orleans on their list.

I had a close friend who worked for Beaver Productions and he manned the VIP door and would let me in on a little notice. The Warehouse was a vintage 1800 brick building that stood by shear habit. That is the only explanation how it withstood the volume. There were no chairs...only area rugs covering the concrete floor.

The Allman Brothers were the house band and they were the first rock concert I attended. From then on I went to as many as I could. You would not believe the bands that flocked to this building.

Those were some good times.
