Bryan Adams opening for Journey, summer of 1982, I believe. I was a sophomore (almost a junior) in high school. Drove to Saratoga Performing Arts Center on my junior license with 4 friends.

[font=" Papyrus" ]I can t recall for sure who was the 1st concert I saw...But I still have all the stubs from way back then someplace in my attic.
 
 I m thinkn  it could of either been Bob Seger at the Allen Park Ice Arena, yes he used to play in skating rinks[]. Or it was a multi slate of Iggy Pop, Mott the Hoople and Arrowsmith as a back up band ...
 
 Along with those I recall seeing J Giles, Jethro Tull, Neil Young, Elton John, Pink Floyd,
 Kansas.....those are the ones who stand out in my memory, the rest is somewhat cloudy
 
 The strangest concert had to be Frank Zappa [/font]

Mine was Kerrville Folk Festival back in 1976 when I was 11 years olds. I am still freaked out about the stuff I saw there.

This is embarassing but before I say who it was, I want everyone to know I was with my parents - Neil Sedaka!
 
 Looking back, besides Neil Diamond (5 times), there have been quite a few people I saw. I could have seen Billy Joel and Elton John the first time they were touring but I backed out like an idiot. I m still kicking myself over that one.

I have no idea which one I saw first.
 Doobie Bros, Kansas, REO, Styx, Eagles... those are the early ones I kinda remember. []

The Carpenters--I was in 8th grade.  We thought we were so grown up going to a concert.  I think my first concert on a date was Three Dog Night.  (ok, I am a child of the 70 s).

Although this was not exactly a concert, when I was 12 years old my friends parents dropped us off at the Universal Amphitheater to see " Jesus Christ Superstar" ...I wore a maxi dress (remember those?) and we thought we were so cool!  My first real concert was a couple of years later to see Chicago at the forum.
