    You left out Santana and Grand Funk

    You neglected to tell the kiddies that although the concert only cost 20 bucks gas was 30cents a gallon and most of us were taking home about 50bucks a week.

    Did you go VOR,how small a world would that be. There were over 80,000 as I remember. The guy who owned the drag strip and property also had a used car dealership in Lake Worth. Somebody (probably sheriff Bill Heightman) torched it during the festival. He also filmed a guy that had overdosed until he died. He also didn't allow firewood to be brought in on Sat. night when it got cold. The owner of the dragway told us to burn the bleachers.

    It really was Easy Rider back in the day folks.

    The first "concert" that I heard was actually at the Main NCO Club here at Fort Bragg. It was Stan Kenton in 1960 [None of you probably have heard of him(?)]. It was supposed to be a dance, but most everyone chose to listen.
    The 1st and most enjoyable concert, per se, that I attended was
    Count Basie in 1961 at ECU.

    Grand Funk, December 1973, Cumberland County Arena, Fayetteville, NC, on their "We're An American Band" tour. Opening band was the Edgar Winter Group, who were riding high about that time with "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride". Festival seating or standing as we were on the floor about 50 feet from the stage. Lots of babes, lots of bumping and rubbing, great time.

    My first concert was the Beach Boys, late summer 1991 at the Tulare County Mid-State Fair. Listened to their music all the way down to Tulare and all the way back. The concert lasted about 3 1/2 hours, and John Stamos was playing drums for them (yes, that John Stamos). I had a great time. :)

    My first concert ever was Glen Campbell---musta been 1969, with my parents & little sister.

    My first "grown-up" concert was Aerosmith, 1975 or '76, Anaheim Stadium. It was GREAT! I've been lucky, seen quite a few good shows over the years.
