Ahhhh - but my FIRST concert was October 11, 1965; Reynolds
Coliseum,
Raleigh, NC - The Rolling Stones.
Beat me by four years - my first (and only) Stones concert was
the 1969 "Concert for Brian" in Hyde Park.
Being older than most of you by a few years, I can state that I
attended many concerts in San Francisco at many venues between 1967
and 1972. Don't remember many of them. Golden Gate Park was the
closest to my apartment in the Haight. There I saw Baez, Dylan, Janis,
Santana, Slick, Hendrix and Havens. My first wife's sister lived
across the street from Kezar Stadium, and we listened to a few
concerts there from their living room windows. At some point, I
probably saw Lindsey and Stevie Nicks open for Hendrix or Janis as
"Fritz". Some of the aforementioned were also at Altamont in 69. I
left there before the Stones were finished with their set. Too freaky.
But the most memorable indoor event was Zappa's "The Mothers of
Invention" concert. Loud, tight, marvelously cacophonous music. That
was topped in 1972 or 73 by Pink Floyd in Boston at the Garden. Dark
Side of the Moon. 6th row center and properly medicated. At least a
week before I could hear well again. Never been able to think well
again though. Been a Floyd addict ever since.
