This thread is awesome! Especially the time warp/gap.

Awesome that a bunch of you are older than me. I feel young again!

My first concert was Black Oak Arkansas/Blue Oyster Cult.

My first concert was Black Oak Arkansas/Blue Oyster Cult.

Jim Dandy to the rescue.

I saw them too. Only Aerosmith was the warm up band.

Beastie Boys opened up for RUN DMC. It was 1987 at Rosemont Horizon. 8th row. I still have the shirt.
We filled our pockets with those 10 cent superballs from a gumball machine. Threw them on the stage. I accidentally hit MCA right in the dam head with my first shot. oops a daisy. But then they started chasing the balls around, slipping in beer, all over the stage.

My first concert was Bob Dylan at the Masonic Auditorium in Detroit, in 1965, during his first (half) electric tour. Unless you count Harry Belafonte and a couple of operas I went to with my grandmother. I still love Puccini but I'm not about to pay money to see him.

"By the end of the 70s, Black Oak’s popularity began to wane. Many of the bands they took on tour with them in the beginning – Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen – had gone on to major stardom, leaving Black Oak behind. It was time to regroup, pare down, get back to basics. And that’s when they realised their fortunes had dried up."

There aren't a lot of places I can go and feel young at 46, but TGR is one of them. I could tell there were a bunch of older dudes on here by the level of grumpiness and knowledge.

[shera]

We were young(er) once even here on TGR. This place has been running for such a long time now. I went away for a decade and now here I am again. It's not like before, but it's ok.

The more you know the grumpier you get.

If you had said Jimi and The Monkees I might have been more impressed.

But on second thought, probably not.

The more you know the grumpier you get.

Because you've come to realize it's all ... bullshit?

In 1969, while at the University of Akron, a frat brother offered me a seat in his VW bus and he said he was going to a rock concert at some place called Woodstock. I turned him down.

I'm at a point where some kidders are greeting me with " hey old man "

SO instantly fire back " get lost kid ya bug me" and they don't do that again

I guess the kidders don't like being called kid

edit: I think the first concert was Emerson Lake Palmer

[Andyski]

First concert - Aerosmith in what must have been about 1988. When I try to look up the show, it appears Guns N' Roses opened! Next time I saw G'n'R was in 1991 (at the Worcester Centrum lol) and Soundgarden (who i'd never heard of) opened.

The older the audience here, the more time spent bitching about resort operations/management.

[halliday]

Ticket prices before The Death Star took over. Now it's $50.00 for a ticket and $143.00 in fees.

Just looking at moguls from the lift tires me out.

Same.

Breathing is key.

I'm thinking that just when you get really good at living, you die.
But maybe then, you've already learned what you're supposed to.
