what year we talkin' here Graham? I only recognized about 4 of these groups...heavy metal??

Love'm all Jov! I remember hanging out the Boston Garden, watching people climb the walls in the early 70's trying to get in to see the Rolling Stones. We hung out there, just to hear them from the outside.
What was your first concert?
The first concert, I ever attended was the Kinks, with a back up band you may know...Aerosmith, they've come a long way from back-up band...lol

Aerosmith has certainly come along ways Suzie, I live on the South Shore and I run into Steve Tyler all the time. It's so funny now when we do see each other we just say hello shake our heads and start to laugh. Another person I see a lot is Andre Tippet who used to play for the Patriots. These two guys are extremely very nice to talk to and are always polite.
I was at Woodstock and can remember how hot it was with no bathrooms around, a real mess, bodies everywhere people drinking, drugging, having sex right in the open you name it, and it was there. After doing Woodstock I could never be around crowds again, paranoia sets in real quick, so for me to go to a concert today is out of the question. Can not do the crowds.
For me it was a great time to grow up and I wouldn’t change a thing, I loved every minute of it, and when I hear these old songs, it brings me right back to a place I loved and enjoyed. I’ll take those days any time Suzie.

OMG Jovanone, I want to hang out with you...lol. I love Steven Tyler, I want to see if he's as hunky in person, I just bet he isn't...;) Sorry about Woodstock, that was a little before my time, but I WAS a bit of a hippy...neru (SP?) jackets, bell bottoms...I'm glad that little fad didn't last too long..lol
Graham...you're right, that isn't very "way back" for me...my son who is 32, loves Nirvana, so I know they are an "alternative" rock. I would have loved to SEE the "Stones", instead of listen to them through a wall...lol, I'm jealous, they're definitely one of my "faves".
Beatles, and Rod Stewart, Supremes and even Petula Clark, WildJim, with her "boots are made for walkin". I love alot of the artists you mention.
And who can forget Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple, OMG the list keeps getting longer and longer and longer........

Earlier tonight while I was in my car going to visit my mother in the nursing home I was listening to Barry Scott and the lost 45's on 103.3. Talk about memories. They were doing story songs. "Half Breed" by Cher came on and I started to laugh. Concerts were my favorite thing when I was a teen. My first concert was The Edgar Winter group. Back then I was lucky enough to see a lot of them. "Yes" was one of my favorites. I saw David Bowie in his early days, The J Geils Band, The Allman Brothers, Jackson Browne, Bob Seger, Aerosmith about a million times. My husband and I saw Heart, The Little River Band and The Eagles at the Yale Bowl in 1980. What a show. We used to go to the Cape Cod Coliseum and see shows-Santana, Mott the Hoople. OMG the list is endless. I would have loved to see Bruce Springsteen back then. Not a big Stones fan. Deep Purple was another one I loved. I had tickets to a Led Zeppelin concert at the Garden but it ended up being canceled because of a riot when the tickets were being sold. My dad once bought out a section of the Garden for a "Yes" concert for my brother and me to bring our friends. Fun. My all time favorites? Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Harry Chapin and Bob Seger. I took my son to a Bob Seger concert in Rhode Island for his 15th birthday (his first concert) and my youngest to
see The Bare Naked Ladies in Worcester for his first.

WildJim, I was born in '55, so I can relate, but Jonsmom, YOU are talkin'. I still hve a harmonica, which I would reeeeeally love to learn to use, as I just love Jay Geils, and ALL the bands you mentioned, esp. Allman Bros. (eat a peach), Bruce S. & Bob S...what an era!

Jonsmom, Halfbreed by Cher, It is
