I don’t have a clue. I was a teenager in the 70’s...remembering isn’t exactly my strong suit.

The first concert I can specifically remember going to as a small child was a harpsichord concert at the auditorium at the Nelson-Atkins museum in Kansas City. I would have been around seven years old. Around the same time my father took us as a family to see Andres Segovia. We had seats in the very back row of the uppermost balcony, Segovia wasn't miked, and yet we could hear every note he played.
Our father was very proud of our Scottish heritage, (he wouldn't admit to any of our Irish ancestry, much less celebrate it,) and in those days the Black Watch bagpipe band used to tour America and come through KC about every two or three years. Whenever they did, we went as a family, wearing our family tartan. So that might have preceded the harpsichord concert. Anyway, I can remember bagpipe music from my earliest childhood. Dad liked bagpipes! We went to the Kansas City Symphony's concerts, and saw folk music performances now and then. We went to see John Jacob Niles, which was the first time I ever saw anyone playing mountain dulcimer. The first popular music concert I ever attended was Peter, Paul and Mary. My father took my sister and me and a friend apiece. I was in 7th Grade. The next summer we moved to the Chicago suburbs, started attending folk music concerts and "Sunday Sings" at the Old Town School of Music, and saw a lot wider array of music there. We went to hear classical music concerts and popular music alike at Ravinia in the summertime, and at various concert halls in downtown Chicago. Ravinia is a wonderful concert venue in the summer: you can buy a general admission ticket and take a picnic basket and a blanket and sit on the lawn and listen from there:  On the lawn at Ravinia Once I started dating, Ravinia was a favorite place to go. I wish we had an equivalent venue in Anchorage. So in my childhood I had a strong grounding in classical and folk music, and of course the music at church. As a child I was a boy soprano, and a good one. So there was lots of choral music, too. Didn't really get into attending rock concerts until after high school. But they were still affordable back then, so I went to see lots of the popular groups of the day. The three bands I went back to see repeatedly were Jethro Tull, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Great bands, all three. Wade Hampton Miller

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown opened for Steppenwolf at Rhode Island Auditorium, 1968 or 1969. Like they say, if you can remember it, you weren’t there.

John Denver at the Milo Bail Student Center at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I was still in HS and had to borrow the ID of my best friend's brother and his girlfriend to get the two of us in.
All 200 of us sat in a semi-circle on the floor at JD's mountain boot-clad feet. He was backed by Mike Taylor and Dick Kniss. I think it was 1972, The "Rocky Mountain High" album wasn't out yet, but they played all the songs from it. I was blown away, and bought my first acoustic guitar shortly thereafter.

Cheap Trick, at North Central College in Naperville, IL in 1978. Oddly enough, I unexpectedly saw them again at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas in 2005 while just walking the floor. Other fun concerts in between, but they were the bookends.

Creedence at the Coliseum in Denver in 1970. Opening act was the Ike and Tina Turner Review, who were great. I still remember the opening notes of Born On The Bayou reverberating around the old concrete building.
