What were some of the first few rock bands you saw live and in person. Lets see:
Jethro Tull (Wild Turkey opened) - April 1972 - Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY
Led Zeppelin (No opening act) - May 1972 - Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY
Traffic (Free opened) - January 1973 - Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY
Greatful Dead, Allman Brothers, Band - July 1973 - Watkins Glen, NY
Jethro Tull (Livingston Taylor opened) - August 1973 - Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY
Remember seeing the Beach Boys, T-Rex, Three Dog Night, Who and a few others in either 73 or 74 (memory is shot).

Wow - Don't think too many people can say they saw Hendrix, Cream and the Doors.

That's one hell of a way to start hearing live music!

I did try to see the Stones at MSG in 1972. You had to send in postcards (I think 4 was the max) and if they picked you, you were in. Does anyone else remember this? I think I got this right...

July 25, 1966, The Rolling Stones at the Hollywood Bowl.
August 28, 1966, The Beatles at Dodger Stadium.
THe next one I remember was Cream at the LA Forum in October of '68.
Many memorable concerts from that point on.
I will say that when I was 16 or 17, my dad took me to a small club near our house to see the great jazz drummer Louis Bellson and his band, with Doc Severinsen sitting in with then that evening. It was electric!
