ZZ Top, I think either Head East or Wet Willie was the opener. Would have been in Shreveport c. 1974 or so.

Keith Whitley in Jackson, MS.
I don't quite remember it as I was pretty young and it couldn't have been long before his death but apparently I met him.

At Centroplex? If so, was that the first concert after the fallout from the 'alleged' AC/DC debacle? If my memory is correct, there was Reserved seating and it sucked to sit on our hands the whole show.

Or was it in New Orleans at Lakefront Area? Stood in front of Geddy the whole show; it was amazing

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.

Styx mr roboto 1980 I think


Mr. Roboto album (Kilroy Was Here) was released in 1983. The 1980 tour would have been after "Cornerstone". And that same concert was probably one of the first 3 I attended.

And I always accused Styx of stealing the idea of "Kilroy" from Rush and 2112.

From setlist.com for the 1980 Styx/Centroplex concert. My guess is they're leaving something off here.
