what's the first band you ever saw live in concert?
Aug 24, 2019, 8:00 PM
|
|
not on TV, and not the prom or high school dance. Big rock show (or country/whatever).
Just wondering, how maybe it influenced your music taste down the road.

I saw him after his sobriety. Still good, but I didn't wanna hear "Poison". I rather have heard "Dead Babies".

I was a 14 year old head full of mush. My best friend's mom drove us there and dropped us off at the show.
Uncle Ted. He sang about poontang:

and opening for Nuge was this little band from Funk Rock, Georgia - Mother's Finest.
Never been a band like them since.
I saw a dude named Wizzard do this to a bass guitar that seemed impossible at the time. It changed me.

Videos circa about that same era.

In the early 80's I was combing through the garage of a lady who joined a record club back in the 1960s and found an original Amboy Dukes Journey to the Center of the Mind still in cellophane. She was selling those 33 1/3rds for 1 buck each. I selected that and a Blood, Sweat and Tears album and stashed them under the front seat of the car to be put away when I got home.
I forgot the records and the children's mother found them. She threw them away because she is an evil bich who claimed they were devil worship. Mid-westerners, huh?
BTW, I was 12-13 when Amboy Dukes cut that disk.

got driven up there with a friend. Like, '73-74?. Great show. They were a great band when Terry Kath was still alive, great guitarist. I remember all the guys playing percussion on the coda of Beginnings".
Not sure it had an influence on my taste going forward. I've always enjoyed large bands with horns, but like a lot of other stuff too.
(percussion on extended coda not on this live cut, but highly recommend all the youtubes from this show)

Got in a shít ton of trouble for it. Didn't tell my folks I was going & paid the price, but it was worth it. Still the one of the best shows I've ever seen.

was at that one, and paid a price for it also

but in a different way. That show was on Labor Day, a Monday. I had a meeting at 8am Tuesday morning that I had to be at. Big deal, you say? Well.....that meeting was in Nashville, TN, an 8 hour drive.
So I had to stay relatively sober for it. I was like a 6-7 hour show, as Faith No More opened, then the 'tallicats, then G'n'R. Left during the G'n'R encore around 11:30pm, hit the road and drove all freaking night to make my meeting. Talk about supreme exhaustion. But worth it.

Hard to say, so long ago, but probably either the Beach Boys, who came to the old Greenville auditorium a lot in the mid-to-late 60s, or one of the #### Clark revues that came pretty much every year. The first #### Clark show I saw probably was the one headed by the Shadows of Night doing Gloria. Gene Pitney also brought a revue through there most every year, too. Both those revues would have 5 or 6 one-hit wonders and a headliner, which, of course would be Pitney in his shows. Not my favorite music, but the dude did have a set of pipes on him! Long about the same time, same venue, was Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. That!!!! was a show! Off topic: who else saw the Strawberry Alarm Clock, Buffalo Springfield (with Neil Young, Stephen Stills ans Richie Furay) and the Beach Boys at the old Field House, spring of 1968?

When straight, loved it.
I saw more famous bands in hot spots like Velvet Underground in Ft Lauderdale and at Robert E Lee high prom in Jacksonville, 66-68.
My fav concerts were Black Oak and Leon Russell. I saw Black Oak while wasted and returned to see them again straight. I like being straight better.

Doobie Brothers. I was maybe 10. Went with my mom, sister, and brother, to a San Diego Padres double header on 4th of July weekend. The Doobies played. I dont remember if it was after or in between games. It was a non factor as far as my music taste down the road. First concert on my own that I chose that was a factor was U2 in 1985 at the Forum in LA. I was 12 and went with my older sister. It was Under Blood Red Sky tour. The Red Hot Chili Peppers opened, but I wasnt into them then.

Once Carowinds opened, I would get to see a good half dozen or more concerts every summer. We'd get dropped off in the morning and picked up once the concert was over. No way in Hades THAT would fly in this day and age. By the time I was driving, you could go see the concerts separately from the park, so we'd drive up and just see the shows. I bet I saw 30-40 concerts at the Palladium by the time I graduated high school. I think concert tickets there were an exorbitant $5.00 American.
