My first concert I was going to go to in my life was The Who at Providence, RI. I had just got out of the Navy, and had never been to one (scheduled for December 17. 1979) but a bunch of people died in a stampede trying to get into a Who concert earlier in the month, so they cancelled it.
The first time I went to a concert may have been 1984 to see Blue Oyster Cult.
I had seats on the floor about 15 rows back, and I could not hear a thing when I left...my ears were ringing!
Must’ve been the cowbell....
