TRHit:
Very stimulating post. Thanks.
First concert that I ever attended was back in '64 I believe at the Portland Memorial Coliseum...the band...The Boys from Liverpool...THE BEATLES.
And although the joint was jumping and it was very electric I never became much of a fan! Hard to please a 10 year old!
I'm sure this isn't the direction TR had in mind when he started this post, but I think he is getting the kind of reaction he planned for - GOOD ONE. 
BTW
ELVIN BISHOP!!!??? When is the last time anyone even heard that name uddered [sic]??? probably when I was listening to Prince on my 8 track!
I must have been through about a million girls,[OK - 3]
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone. [other way around!]
I didn't care if they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone
"Fooled Around and Fell in Love"" ain't that the truth.
I'd like to see Busta Rhymes or 50cent or JaRule or Ludacris being quoted on the HSBBW 25 years from now!!

my first concert was Boz Scaggs opening for the Joe Walsh version of the Eagles at the Spectrum in Philly. My older bro practically lived there - David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull
Laf, if you find that Rod Stewart is gonna be anywhere close let me know and I'll go with you. I used to sing along to some of his music while I was on the treadmill - well, I can't carry a tune and the family made me stop singing 
Imagine hearing 'forever young' sung with no background music totally off-key

Bet that was a show and a half!!
Oh Windmill - I still have that 45!!!! 
TR - If you're ever through this way, you and wife are invited to dinner and I promise there will be sweet tea, but I can assure you that there will be no possum!! I think you'll need to stop by someone's in TN to pick that up!
tdf - I can imagine it! Ask my kids!

OK...OK...I'll clue you in. My highschool years included more than a handful of concerts by Jerry and the Dead. One concert, held in a farm field, was opened by 'New Riders of the Purple Sage' and didn't conclude until the Dead polished off Casey Jones with the daily Coast to Eugene 'wood chip' train rumbling by in the night just 50 yards away... right on cue. Nine hours of pure...well, umm, I don't qute remember!

Dad04 - A show it was indeed!! We actually had Joe Walsh at our HS when I was a senior. We had a brand new school, state of the art auditorium. We convinced the school board to let us have a concert - the only two groups that made I remember making the list that we voted on were The Grass Roots and The James Gang [w/ Joe Walsh]. Well The James Gang it was..what a blast. Needless to say, that was the last time there has been a concert at the school !!!
NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE!!!
My memory of them:
When I worked for the Navy we dveloped and tested sonar systems and sonobuoys [the things you see them dropping out of helo's and planes to look for submarines]. We did much of our testing off of St Croix [15,000 ft of water 2 hours out]. We were coming in after another grueling 2 weeks at sea, when we can hear the music coming from the shore..it's about 8pm..we called and found out that the NR of the PS were playing the Wreck Bar in Christiansted. The Wreck Bar had an old wrecked boat laying at the water's edge - you could walk away from the bar and walk right in to the water. We docked our ship and headed right over. Needless to say, the boat wasn't the only thing "wrecked" that night. This was in 1988, about a month before Hurricane Hugo laid waste to STX. Lots of Red Stripe and Malibu rum that night!

Gotwood,
Was that the same show that included Sly and the Family Stone.
It's all a blur
First concert.....KISS at the spectrum in the 1970's. Second concert....KISS at the Spectrum a year later in the 1970's! Also been to many a Springsteen concert including when I was 9 months pregnant (Born in the USA tour Three Rivers Stadium in the 'burgh)! I'm diversifying now and heading to Boston in a couple weeks to see Aerosmith with Lenny Kravitz....my college kids are soooooo JEALOUS! I figure if Steven Tyler at HIS age can stay up past 11 p.m. to party...so can I!

Great diversity
I am a frequent poster on several internet boards that allow for some deep political and philosophical discussion. It is amazing how much location can influence opinions and points of view ( just look at you political red state / blue state maps

In my book PRINCE never changed his name--just used a symbol
Lots of folks made fun of prince for this. The deal as I understood it was , he was being sued by Warner Brothers and could not use the name "prince" without a court battle. He chose to go with the logo to avoid court proceeding and get his music out.
Though I don't particularly enjoy his music, I respect his artistic ability and style.
Gotwood...saw the Dead and Jerry, and the New Riders several times....can't beat old times like that.

IMO, Rod fans are more likely women, as opposed to a socio economic group or race

Nope. This concert had only the 'New Riders' and the 'Dead'. It did feature a Cessna 172 taking off from the far end of the farm field and roaring (as only a Cessna 172 can do) towards the stupefied masses and clearing our heads by 30 or 40 feet and then over the stage and towers of speakers. Cool!

I was an Elvis Presley fan because all of the best looking girls were Elvis Presley fans.
