The very first concert I ever saw at 15yrs old was:

Wild Turkey (Jethro Tull derivative and members)
Yes with Wakeman
Black Sabbath

At Winterland auditorium in San Francisco 1971.

Black Sabbath blew everyone off the stage. No contest, they were the headline band. Extraordinary show.

Yes, Ozzy actually wore a western jacket with fringe.

This show is documented on the internet in multiple instances, with audio. I still cannot find video.

It was spectacular. And it solidified my taste in music.

Nothing but Beatles, Beethoven, Brahms and Black Sabbath.

Gotta make those minor keys roar.

please tell me Ozzy did not wear a cowboy hat. That is a picture I never want to see. If he did, LIE TO ME! LOL

Other than the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, what more could a person ask for?

Mine was at 17.
Mob rules tour at poplar creek. Opening band was the hounds, and dio was singing. I think it was advertised as Black Sabbath starring tony iomi but I’m a little fuzzy on that. Opening act was the hounds who I never heard of. They sucked. Was a little weird to have people trying to sell you acid in the parking lot

I’ll trade you my first concert, lol...Three-Dog-Night and T-Rex.

You saw YES?! That is one group I missed seeing. And I've always regretted that.😢
