My first was supposed to be Sly & the Family Stones and James Brown in 1974 Boston, however a riot broke out and the show was cancelled.
Then in 1978 I got tickets through MD's rec dept and I was able to see Teddy Pendergrass open for The Isley Brothers @ The Capital Centre. The IB's were awesome and a superb show all around. Later I saw my first real rock concert in KISS and I'm sure that's where some of my hearing loss started.

OMG that is TOO COOL!
They came through here in 1970 and I so wanted to go!
(yes, I'm old too)
I saw Johnny Winter about that same time though. :thumbup:
Johnny - the more talented but less famous Winter brother. I played the crap out of Johnny Winter And....Live :thumbup:
I saw him later on in the 90s and it was painful to watch

My dissappointment was great in missing out of those 2 great bands but later the Isley Brothers were beyond great that night. I was too young for the cancellation to bother me too much. :(
This was the tour they were supporting the *Go For Your Guns* Tour and when Ernie Isley hit that high note in *Voyage To Atlantis* the sold out Cap Centre went absolutely crazy. It was an amazing site and i as a younster was in the middle of it all.

In December of 97, my parents took me to see Ted Nugent. He came out on stage riding a buffalo. Ted's pretty much an ass, and some of the music is not that too good, but he put on a fun show.

If you are not including Opera and Classical Concerts, which I started going to at prob 6 or 7...

Oh let me add the year before I was offered tickets to Led Zeppelin in May 1977 @ the Capital Centre. One of the 4 shows was on a Friday night and it was also the opening night for a little know movie called STAR WARS. Not let me say I little or no clue who LZ was at the time so you guessed it I chose the fricking movie. :( After seeing KISS the next year it opened up a whole new genre in music for me and I havn't looked back since.
If i could have it back though I would have certainly chosen Led Zeppelin.

I conveniently left out the year of my first concert!
