    Air Supply - Westbury Music Fair - Westbury, NY

    It had to be around 1985. I was 9 and my mother was obsessed with them.

    My first REAL concert was House of Pain w/ Cypress Hill and Rage Against the Machine opening for them. I think that was 1992 or 1993 at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC.

    The Kinks- 1981. Promoting their album "Give The People What They Want". It had the song "Better Things" on it!


    This tour was awesome ! The kinks were one of the best live bands. :mrgreen:

    They were great. Red Rider opened... Saw Van Halen in 84. Equally fantastic.

    To this day, The Kinks are the only concert I've seen that had a "REAL" encore (that is not pre-planned). It was summer of '87 or ' 88 at Jones Beach. I think they played 2 encores, the lights came on, the crowd stayed, and 15-30 seconds (seemed much longer, but I'm guessing that's all it was), they went out, Kinks came back and did a quick Dedicated Followers of Fashion, lights came back up. For a short time I kept the silly notion that if the crowd kept cheering even after it appeared to be the last encore, whatever band would come back like they did. Silly me...
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    The Kinks with Rory Gallagher in 1971 at the Hollywood Palladium. It was in support of their 'Lola Vs. Powerman and The Money-Go-Round' record and contained some stuff from the upcoming 'Muswell Hillbillies' record.
    Second concert was Sly and The Family Stone a few months later... then, after that it was 'Faces' when Ronnie Lane was still in the band.
    Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
