Back when teen drinking was frowned upon, but allowed as long as the kids stuck to beer and didn't crack open Dad's whiskey.Quote:

Kiss - Hara Arena, December 31, 1987.
dmb at deer creek 97 or 98, back when d could still sing.
referencing an earlier post..."I have a fever".
I'm not proud of it, but the first show I saw was Anne Murray at the Ohio State Fair when I was about nine or 10.
The first show I ever went to that I wanted to attend was Run DMC/Public Enemy/EPMD/DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince/Salt'n'Pepa at Riverfront Coliseum.

I get those two bands confused all the time.
Wow, you know, I didn't think I could feel any worse about the New Kids being MY first concert, and then you have to go and mention that a) you were a good seven years younger than I was, and b) you already had the good sense to hate it. I thought I was in heaven.Quote:

Great thread here -- lots of good stories and nostalgia.
Everclear in 1995 at Bogart's. (With Seven Mary Three and Ruth Ruth- all three for $8.) Even though they haven't been my favorite band since about 1998 (and more recent fare like "Volvo Driving Soccer Mom" and "Hater" are embarrasingly lame), I held on to the shirt I got at that show and now wear it around Portland to try and make people think I've been living here all that time. It's gotten a few compliments. Too bad I didn't have it on when I saw Art sitting in a window seat at Jake's Grill a few months back.

People confuse their youth with their adult life and project that on the times.

That would have been the first year the Huntington Civic Center opened. I still have my tickets to the first act booked in the Civic Center, but Elvis Presley failed to appear for that scheduled September 1977 concert; his death was cited as the excuse for the no-show.Quote:

I believe that the first concert I ever attned was a Mac Davis performance in Charleston in 1974. I really enjoyed his performance.
Probably my favorite concerts over the years would include a John Denver concert "in the round" at the Huntington Civic Center in the early 1980s; a couple of Alabama shows in the mid-1980s; Martina McBride at Kings Island a few years ago; and Brad Paisley in Huntington in February of this year.
My least favorite concert was one by The Beach Boys in the early 1980s; they are better in the studio. I was also disappointed by Linda Ronstadt-great voice but no stage presence.
My first concert, I'm ashamed to say was Huey Louis at Bogarts in 1987 or so.
My first real concert (IMO) was AC/DC on the Razors Edge tour in 1991. LA Guns opened for them. They played the Nutter Center which is on the campus of Wright State Universty, where I was attending university.
My favorite concert, however, has been the Black Crowes at Bogarts in Cincinnati. Very reminicent of late 1960's stones. Think Mick Jagger at Madison Square Garden wearing the tophat and unitard and that's pretty much the act Chris Robinson was putting on. Metallica and Aerosmith put on good showes, but the Black Crowes show was the best.
We got to see the Black Crowes at Memorial Hall in Dayton back in '92...excellent show. :thumbup:Quote:
