Tripping Daisy in 1993, somewhere in Deep Ellum. It was around my 16th b-day, my folks had given me a car. I broke curfew and decided that since I was in trouble anyway, to just stay gone for a few days and enjoy the rest of what I thought was going to be my very short life.
Now that I think about it, my teenage years were not much fun after that little stunt......

Great memories.....
Beetles-Shea Stadium-1965. Like Bubba never heard a thing but girls screaming!
Almost made it to Woodstock in 1969(interstate was closed due to abandoned cars). If I knew how historic it'd become I would have tried harder..(still have my ticket)

Minor Thread HIjack
Subset: Best Concert
1982/1983 on Kauai at a high school auditorium right after David Crosby got out of prison (Texas) -- all acoustic hosted by Graham Nash (Hanalei resident) to support local political candidate. Best tune was Crosby playing "Treetop Flyer" . . . maybe 300 people.

Journey, Reunion Arena - 11/7/1981
Best show would probably be Eagles, AA Center 2003. Would have been Pink Floyd 1994, but Texas Stadium was just too damn big. Would have also considered Guns `n Roses if Axel Rose didn't have a hissy fit and storm off stage for half an hour.

Don't think I hear more than 2 or 3 words they sang the whole concert. Man, teenage girls can scream and scream and scream

+1, but in Dallas at the old Dallas Civic Center. I was in the 8th grade and my ticket cost $7.50 ($2.50 per word...lol!). The girls were fainting left and right, screaming like crazy, and wetting themselves. I have never seen anything like it since. Damn, there was a lot of stuff pent-up after the repression of the '50's waiting to cut loose......

1974 First Concert Chicago and The Beach Boys headlined a series in Northern Ohio at the old Municipal Stadium (also the site of the infamous Indians- Rangers baseball game that featured the promotion 5 cent beer nite The game was forfeited in the second inning lol) Anyway the promoters called these events The World Series of Rock. and over the years some heavy hitters came together and there were usually 6 or 7 groups and it would last all day
Other memorable ones
!975 Led Zeppelin in the middle of winter in a raging snowstorm
Eric Clapton, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Steve Miller
David Bowie, Yes Genesis (early and late)
But 1980 The Wall by Floyd was the highlight, seeing that stage and all that went with it.
and going to NYC for a few days just a huge adventure

First show was The Doobie Bros. back in 1975 or so. Actually, a lot of firsts that night.
Others were a very good Supertramp (no kidding--a very solid show), Queen (loudest show ever), a tie by Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Ray Vaughn (best performance by a guitarist) and Stevie Ray again (worst performance by a guitarist, seeing as how cocaine really doesn't help your guitar playing).
Best show of all was at the Gypsy Tea Room here in Dallas by someone most of you have never heard of, but really opened my eyes to a kind of music I had ignored before. Live music can do that.

My Dad is a bass guitarist and his band opened for The Doobie Bros. many years ago here in Dallas. I also got to meet Ray Charles and Steven Tyler as a kid but I was too young to appreciate who they were.
Saw Fleetwood Mac last year at the AA center (I believe) and it was probably the best concert I have ever been to. It is a three way tie for me: Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton (also last year) and Jeff Beck. All three were frikkin' amazing concerts.
I'm jealous of those of you who can say you saw The Beatles in concert, but I did get to see Paul McCartney on his last trip through Dallas, I will take what I can get I guess.

my 1st two concerts are about as different as you can imagine. Don't laugh...
Poison and then Garth Brooks. Not too many bands actually made it to the fairly small town I grew up in.
