One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 First concert not at like a county fair type setting was seeing Yes on the Union tour at the Rosemont Horizon. That was the tour they had 2 drummers, 2 keyboardists, 3 guitar players and then Jon Anderson and Chris Squire. prior to that I'd seeing like the Grass Roots, Tommy James and the Shondells, Eddie Money, maybe Kansas at said fairground shows. Creed from the office was in the Grass Roots. xjustinxschwierx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idreamofpunk Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Kiss. Reunion Tour. Nutter Center, Dayton, Ohio. 7/16/1996. Mind = Blown. First club show was later that year when my brother took me to see Ratt at a rinky-dinky dive bar in Dayton, Ohio. I've gone from two shows in 1996 and one in 1997 to going to a peak of 96 in 2011. With the pregnancy and the baby and my finances, 2012 brought that down to 24 this year. We'll see what 2013 has to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
