st.bede · 08-11-2008, 10:31 PM

it was either CSN at the Greek in LA or Clapton at Universal amptheater...1985ish

bigragu63 · 08-13-2008, 09:22 AM

It was a "double bill" concert. Blue Oyster Cult and Foghat, around 1980.

From what I remember, there was a lot of funny smellin' "fog" at that show!

My first was David Lee Roth with Cinderella opening for him. That was in 1984 I think. I was sixteen at the time, I remember that. And I had my Big Hair and Glam look going at the time.

guitarweasel · 09-19-2008, 08:05 PM

The Yardbirds 1967

Werner Sommer · 09-20-2008, 01:53 AM

Deep Purple, MKII, 15.11.1993, Ritchie Blackmores second to last gig with the band- ever! Unbelieveable!!! I've seen them six times with Steve Morse, but...not quite the same...to say the least!

kevink · 10-04-2008, 02:28 PM

My first concert with Marshall Amps was Jeff Beck Group [with Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Ansley Dunbar, Nicky Hopkins] Detroit 1968

Mase947 · 11-01-2008, 01:26 AM

Mine was probably around four years ago. It was Foghat and Blue Oystercult playing in Salem, Virginia at an outdoor venue.

HOT TUBES 70 · 11-19-2008, 06:19 PM

My first was canadian rock guys, KICK AXE & HELIX , 1984

blowoffsorrow · 11-25-2008, 07:05 AM

Midnight Oil on their Diesel and Dust tour 85 I think, I was about 11 at the now defunct Apollo Stadium in Australia

Tommy Boy · 11-25-2008, 11:44 AM

KISS and Uriah Heep at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin in December '76. It was the "Destroyer" tour, I was in 7th grade, and my buddy and I thought we could sneak out and go to the show. His Dad caught wind, bought a ticket, drove us to the show and sat in between us amidst the omnipresent scent of burning canabis. I remember the concert review the next day was titled "KISS - shrewd exploitation." I didn't feel exploited at the time - it was an unbelievable first concert experience!

The Joker · 11-26-2008, 12:25 PM

wow, guys, you're old...nah just kiddin'!

RHCP '06 here. 14 years old.

stratbred · 11-26-2008, 06:52 PM

I think it was 1998, Beck and Oasis toured together. Oasis eponymously bickered on stage, but Beck rocked!

I loved Autograph, "Turn up the radio" was a cracking song.

It was great to find it on Grand Theft Auto Vice City, along with some other 80's classics. V-Rock was never off the radio in my stolen cars!
