    I do consider my 1st real true rock show to be Led Zeppelin 75 Nassau Coliseum 15 years old attended it with 3 friends from my neighborhood I remember getting my dad to drive us to get tickets back then I think we paid $15 for the top row of the arena! 
    Wow. Must have been such a great show! My best friend and I paid my brother to drive us to Nassau Coliseum to see Pink Floyd. Must have been around 1987-88.
