Jimi Hendrix - Hollywood Bowl 13 years old (yes, my parents drove us and picked us up)
I hate you.
What if I told you that my second concert was a month later, Cream's farewell concert, and a month after that I saw the Doors...would you hate me even more???
All started when I won tickets to see Hendrix on KHJ radio

16 years old. The Who, Dec. 8th, 1979, Chicago International Amphitheatre. Demand for tickets was so great & they could not add another show so they set up closed circuit viewing at area movie theaters. Was so loud I couldn't hear properly for 2 days.

15- Van Halen 1981 in Vancouver. Great show, if you go on Youtube and watch the Unchained video, that was filmed at the Oakland Coliseum just days after the Vancouver show. First Stones shows were 89 at both Vancouver shows.

No matter what they say... or even I say... about VH these days, back then they were a top notch hellafun band to see live in concert. Back before all the break up crap and BS they were a seriously fun band to see live... as close to an actual party with 15,000-20,000 people as one could have.
Van Halen - Unchained - 6/12/1981 - Oakland Coliseum Stadium (Official)

It is funny cool, I never watched that video before...
cuz it is kind of depressing to me how bad Dave actually
sang/talked all of the songs so I avoid watching...
BUT @1:54 I have took that exact picture when they came to my town...
I have that exact same shot... same clothes... same angle... same stage pose.
It is my famous VH shot at @1:55 [youtu.be]

I saw Van Halen when nobody knew who they were. I was at this converted warehouse somewhere in the San Gabriel Valley. They were the opening act for this band called Venus & the Razor-blades. It was a few months later that they became a regular act at Gazzaries on the Sunset Strip.
Wow, I sure miss those days
