What was your first rock concert?

I've had a crush for Lani Hall for decades.

[BFrank]

Yes!! I just looked up the song "For Me" on YouTube, and she's the singer. Got a quick crush on her that night!

I guess that's why Herb Albert scooped her up while he had the chance.

Led Zeppelin, Konserthuset Stockholm Feb 26, 1970. I loved the concert!!!

[Gentle Giant]

Wow, laz, such a small venue!

[Steve Reynolds]

foggy which one was first

all around 77 or 78:

Genesis, Yes, Blue Oyster Cult & Cheap Trick together at Cape Cod Coliseum (awful)

Yes was great both times

then Grateful Dead in maybe January 1979 which was the only time I saw them

Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Poughkeepsie High School Auditorium, 1967. For a while, I retained a shard of the chair he smashed.

Ryder, years later, recorded a pretty cool version of Prince's "When You Were Mine," with his ballsy baritone an interesting contrast to Prince's falsetto version.
