Dave Matthews Band in '98 at the Starplex in Dallas. I didn't know who they were at the time.

ETA: Had I not been to DMB, my first concert would have been Robert Plant and Jimmy Page in '98 at Reunion Arena in Dallas.

Jethro Tull. 1973. Touring for the Living in the Past album.

Saw David Bowie the following week touring for the Alladin Sane album. Lots of Ziggy stuff too.

Both shows at the Memphis Mid-South Coliseum.

Not my first but did see Van Halen and cheap trick lake Charles in 1980. First one was prolly Grand Funk Railroad. Have seen tons of show but that was the loudest I have ever experienced.

December 19, 1980: Kansas with Alvin Lee of 10 Years After opening

Within a couple of years I saw shows like:

Van Halen (Fair Warning tour)
Rush (Moving Pictures tour)
Ozzie Osbourne with Randy Rhoads, and then a few months later Ozzie with Brad Gillis on guitar.

ARMS concert for Ronnie Lane featuring Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Joe Cocker, Paul Rodgers, and others (Jan Hammer, Ray Cooper, etc.).

Those were the days.

Can't remember, but I think I saw Boston, Kiss, Kansas, Charlie Daniels Band and Styx, in 1978, at the Mobile Municipal Auditorium.

Not all at once. It was one of these.
