Garth Brooks about 1995 at Target Center in Minneapolis (when people could still go to the city). Went with my mom and my sister and various other friends and family. Great concert and a heck of a show. About two years before that went to Metallica and Guns and Roses with some friends of mine.

Cleveland Coliseum RUSH, 1979. Permanent Waves tour. My Dad drove me and two of my friends an hour and a half. We all got stoned and had a good time. It's a wonder my Dad never knew, or did he?? Good times for sure.
 
Well, this will date me!

College Stadium, local place here to SE ID!
Seen the Oak Ridge Boys live in the mid 80’s
That auditorium was huge and loved the whole concert! But you could just feel Richard Sterban voice on Elvira…. You could just feel that voice in your chest… LOL. That is one powerful voice!

BTW, my first cassette tape was proudly “The Oak Ridge Boys” Fancy Free! 😉
 
I am... Upstate between Rochester and Buffalo on Lake Ontario ... Left for Fl. in 79 ...

Marshall Tucker's in my top 5 ... Seen them here in Fl in the 80's
SUNY Binghamton got great concerts. The Marshall Tucker concert was just a few months after their first album came out. Also saw Billy Joel there a couple of months after the Piano Man album came out. Admission was just 3 or 4 dollars. Good times.

That reminded me. The first music I ever bought was a 45 with Love Potion Number Nine on the A side and Hi-Heel Sneakers on the B side, done by The Seekers.

I think it was 70 , I was 12, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band as they went by back than. at a Hippy love in . Me and 2 friends snuck in . It was weird, Lots of strange things going on.
It was a daytime thing at a rink in the neighbourhood lol

But first concert I paid Money for was Dr. Hook and the Med Show. 73/74 Fantastic time. All the band members ran off stage and left Dennis Locorriere by himself and he said now what do I do , so he sat there and sang Sylvia's Mother. One of the few songs I can play on my guitar.

Too many years ago to remember but music a huge part of my life. I grew up around Detroit and went to concerts constantly. Pink Floyd would have to be my favorite. Seen Styx the most. Moody Blues show was really good. REO puts on a good show. I know just now buy DVD concerts, I have a ton of them.

You had to be a Grand Funk Railroad fan coming from Detroit. They sold out Shea stadium faster then the Beatles
