I believe it was the Good Rats! Wow, thanks for jogging the old memory for me. And I saw the Black and Blue tour in your neck of the woods at Nassau Colliseum. We may have even been at the same show... did you see a kid, way too young, mouth agape and stoned - freaked out by the burning crosses? That was me! ;)

Not sure what the first was:either Emerson,Lake & Palmer on their Brain Salad Surgery tour at Madison Square Garden or Alice Cooper on the Billion Dollar Babies tour at the Nassau Coliseum.Third show I know for sure was Mott The Hoople & Queen at the Uris Theatre on Broadway.Mott's The Hoople LP tour and Queen was supporting Queen 2.Not a bad start heh?

My very first concert was The Dead Milkmen at Mudbugs ( a hole in the wall bar in Tucson AZ). I was 13 years old and the only reason I was allowed in was because I knew somebody who worked there.

The next concert I saw wasn't until I was 18 and I saw Sting for his Mercury Falling Tour.

and the list goes....

Madonna (DWT)
Depeche Mode (Exciter Tour)
Poe(opened for Depeche Mode)
Tori Amos (SLG Tour)
Rufus Wainwright (opened for Tori)
U2 (Elevation)
No Doubt (opened for U2)
Rush (30th anniversary tour)

Aerosmith, I think during their Pump tour. I was in high school, and my uncle brought me. Philadelphia Spectrum. Jakal opened. Lots of fun.

TommyJD, Did you happen to catch Ian Hunter last year. I saw him here in Ft. Wayne and the show was very good. Sparsely attended though.

I'm pretty sure I saw Black and Blue at MSG actually...but for some reason I can't remember. And I'm not telling why. But it has absolutely nothing to do with mind altering substances. Absolutely nothing. Really. I swear. ;)

QUEEN, Madison Square Garden, September 1980. 25 years ago, and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Opening act was a one-album, no hit band called DAKOTA.





Now I'm even MORE jealous. I never knew Angel ever made it to NYC!

Fall of 1982 - I was 14 and a freshman in high school. I saw Iron Maiden open for Judas Priest. Maiden was supporting The Number of the Beast, and Priest was supporting Screaming for Vengeance.

Excellent show. :emoji_thumbsup:

Adam Ant Friend or Foe tour, with opening act INXS. This was back when Adam had a full horns section. It was awesome (to borrow an eighties expression that seems appropriate).

My father saw the Beatles in Mexico and said the exact same thing. He said he paid $8 for his ticket and all he heard were screaming woman....

I think I paid $6 for the ticket. But I wouldn't have even BOUGHT one if I could have gotten there without a ride from my parents. It was easy and fun to climb all over Red Rocks back then but my parents would have frowned on my "crashing" the gig.

Which sucked. I had several interesting concert experiences at Red Rocks including a Jethro Tull gig where a riot broke out. Nothing like flutes and tear gas...
