Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, 1981, Veteran's Memorial Coliseum, Portland Oregon

I was at that show. Both of them. Big Grin

Mom and dad took us kids to see Mel Tillis and Moe Bandy back in 1979.

First arena show I went to was Rush, at the LA Forum, in October of 1987.

Where and when?

Kenny Rogers, yep only because I had a friend into him. I think the second was Pink Floyd then ZZ Top, Pat Benatar was the first I really wanted to see. I was too young when I got into ABBA nor do I think my mom would have taken me to a concert.

But have also seen REO Speed Wagon and Styx and Metallica and got to meet the Ramones.

Roy Orbison, must have been late seventies, maybe 1980 (I was still in grade school). Dad took me when mom turned up too sick to go. But, I really count Van Halen on their 1984 tour as my first show. I'm the only person I know who can say they saw all three front men for VH live, in different states. Diamond Dave in Portland, The Red Rocker in Atlanta and Gary Cherone in Denver. Have to say that Cherone was a terrible choice for Van Halen.

CD, is Veteran's Memorial Coliseum still there? I saw a lot of shows there in high school.

Me:
Van Halen 1984 Tour.
February 3, 1984
Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC

My first real rock concert actually was in 1995 and a real festival, and I went on the day I turned 16. It also had Van Halen, among some other very nice acts. I have fond memories of Faith No More and Megadeth from back then.
