What was the first concert you ever attended?

Mine was the Motor City Madman - Ted Nugent at the Salt Palace, 1978.

Robert Plant- solo at Saltair in 1993.

Elton John, Special Events Center (n/k/a Jon Huntsman Center), circa 1974.

KISS sans makeup....saw them again when they reunited and put the makeup back on.

Beach Boys...I believe it was in the Salt Palace back in the real early 80s. My parents took me. I was probably 6 or 7 years old and I thought the Beach Boys were the mo-shizzle.

I think mine was a beach boys concert as well. They played a show down at the FBI and some of my parents friends who were in the FBI invited us to go...it was either that or a James Taylor concert. UtahDan might have a better memory than me on this one.

A Neil Diamond show at the Salt Palace when I was in the second grade. Neil was a such a stud when he had us all stand on our seats and put our hands together for a rousing rendition of "Comin' to America!"

Emerson Lake and Palmer with Journey at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.

Back in the day, many of my friends had their first concert experience when NKOTB came to town. I would like to say I was too discerning to attend such an event, but really I just wasn't allowed. So I believe my first concert was instead Michael W. Smith.

Further evidence as to my non-discerning taste at the time: the first album I ever owned was Paula Abdul Forever Your Girl.
