First concert was 1977 or 1978 ..... Steve Miller Band at the San Diego Sports Arena. You could cut the hippie lettuce smoke with a knife that day ....
Third party story: Last summer I had dinner with a Walker Mangum who told me he won tickets to his first concert from Mack the Knife (a NYC DJ) and that the opening act was 16-year-old Stevie Wonder followed by the Beetles in their US debut.
Jethro Tull - Too Old To Rock and Roll, Too Young To Die Tour AWESOME! I hitchhiked 50 miles to Missoula Montana to see it with my boyfriend and wouldn't you know my moms friend picked us up. Bummer. She took us there but told mom and I got grounded for a month and had to clean auto parts in for my step father's mechanic shop in below zero weather. TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!
Going to see Dave Wakling/English Beat tomorrow at a winery in Temecula tomorrow...Should be very, very cool!
Last great concert I saw was TYPE O NEGATIVE and CELTIC FROST at the House of Blues!! Don't miss that tour if it comes to your area!!!!
