The 1st concert I saw was a college band playing outdoors. I was not in school, yet, and don’t remember it, but my mother has told, oh so many people, how I stood behind the director and directed along with him Now I’m an amateur musician. The 1st I remember was Al Hirt with Candid Camera’s Alan Funt on vibes.

REO Speedwagon, June of 83 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Long hair was cool!!!
KISS!! I was 4 years old. It was me my dad and 2 brothers. We had back stage passes. What a way to start off.
I think the first one I attended was The Statler Brothers. although, there was one concert which featured two established stars whon I cannot remember now, sandwiching an up-and-coming performer named Barbara Mandrell — who immediately knocked Lynn Anderson out of the position of favorite female artist. I still have her autographed photo.
Metallica with the Cult.
