Last year. Eddie's solo gig at NJPAC, New Jersey. Pretty much the greatest night of my life. It was just my third day in the States. And I got to smoke some hash too.

I remember this thread on the old Pit and I was damn near embarrassed to put my first concert. Then it turned out somebody else posted practically the same thing.

3 Dog Night, August 1969, Fort Worth, TX
I was 14

I did manage to make up for it within the next year by seeing a lot of better acts than that, including Jimi Hendrix.

geishagrrl

The Beach Boys in 1987. I was 10.

First one I remember is Guns N' Roses in 2006. Otherwise I think I was just at local festivals with my parents and just caught a few songs and such.

Piper At The Gates

Roomful Of Blues when they were still just a local band, at St. Bernard's High School auditorium in New London, CT. 1969, I was 10 years old. I guess that counts.

Blind3

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, featuring guitar whiz Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop . 1965. I was 6. My aunt, seeing that i enjoyed live music decided to take me to more shows.

The second and third shows I ever saw, in 1967 and 1968 and thanks to said auntie also, were more memorable : The Monkees, with The Jimi Hendrix Experience opening on Aug 1967 at Temple Stadium, Philadelphia, and The Who , Pink Floyd and The Troggs at J.F.K . Stadium , Philadelphia, on July 24, 1968 .
