Ann Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Who was the first group/band/artist you ever saw live in concert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I don't remember the first, it would probably have been one of the "British Invasion" groups before they ever got known here. However, I did see the Beatles in concert before anyone really knew who they were. They were the opening act and we had to read the program to find out who they were when they started singing "Please, please me". I'm not sure when that was, probably 1962 or 1963 I think. As I'm typing this I remember, it was Cliff Richard. I was about 13 and my friend had 2 tickets for her birthday. Memories! Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Ry Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The Who, They were send billing to Herman's Hermits. The Blues Magoos were the third billing. I think the second was Jimi Hendrix. These concerts were in Flint Mi. Am I showing my age? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muriel Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Peter, Paul & Mary back in 1962 before they were very well known. We saw them at a small bar in Minneapolis (The Padded Cell, I think). Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Muriel, thank you for reminding me. I, too, saw PP&M as my first concert. It was at the outdoor theatre for Temple U. I was thinking it was Patti Page at a show in Las Vegas. She was very boring, very boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 I was about 12 years old when I saw Conway Twitty at our local county fair. Although I wasn't a big fan at the time, I remember that he put on a really good show. My mom was thrilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well this area of Michigan is home to a lot of great musicians so as a teen we saw lots of great people play at local clubs etc. I think the first I remember was Bob Seger at the local ski place when I was about 14-15. Ted Nugent and Aice Cooper played around here a lot also. My first big concert where you paid money and got a seat was B.B. King. I couldn't even drive yet, my dad had to drop me and my friend off and pick us up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
