1980, Klaus Schulze and Rainer Bloss. It blew my mind.

HA! Well, if you want to be like that, try:

Edgard Varèse's multimedia presentation at the 1958 Brussel's World Fair (the Philips Pavilion)! Not quite a "concert" but I still count it as my primary inspiration. Imagine hearing Poème Electronique while 8 month's old in your mother's womb. No wonder I grew up loving strange sounds!

Other than that--and it's still not a proper "concert"--I count seeing The Firesign Theatre (a comedy troupe if you don't already know) at Lisner Auditorium (George Washington University) as my first. The year, 1973

I was 15. Two of my friends, both 16, and I had tickets, one of my buddies had a car. But our parents wouldn't let us go without a chaperon and we tried to get one of my friend's hip (and older) sisters to go but to no avail. So, at the last minute my parents said they'd take us. We got them tickets in the row behind ours and way off to one side . . . I have NEVER seen more pot and freaky stuff at ANY music show. As soon as the lights went out, POOF, the place went up in a wall of strange smelling smoke. I didn't do that kind of thing, and my parents certainly had never even seen/smelled the stuff before, but there we were, passing joints left and right to facilitate the communal high

We had one streaker and a girl freaking out dancing with an umbrella in the aisles during intermission (without music). The whole scene with my straight-laced parents quietly taking it all in was almost funnier than the show on stage!

1st real concert? Probably Starcastle (warming up for <<shudder>> Boston) in Roanoke, VA. Yep, I went to see the warm up band! Oh, and Starcastle put on a frickin' amazing show, while Boston blew chunks.

I am so jealous.

Wasn't the building it was played in built by Le Corbusier or someone like that?

Cool!

Cocteau Twins at Barrowlands.
Ended up going to see them 4 times in total.

Talking Heads - Remain In Light tour. I had NO idea who they were, went along with the older sister of my best friend at the time. Much better than my second concert which was Billy Squier opening for Queen.

You sure that's the same guy?

First concert you ever attended?
