Way back in the late 50's...........

It was Chuck Berry, The Shirelles, Bo Diddley and Sam Cooke in Nashville, Tennessee at the Hippodrome Skating Rink Auditorium.

Admission was .50 cents.

The show was a sellout.

Chuck Berry sang Johnny B. Goode, the Shirelles sang Soldier Boy, Bo Diddley sang Hey, Bo Diddley and Sam Cooke sang Working On The Chain Gang. there were other artists i do not remember.

No booze, no drugs, just a lot of fun and dancing was had by all.

- Oh my God...! Did you have to save up to get the 50 cents?

- My father's friend owned a radio station upper New york (mid 50's)
  and a bunch of the teen idols there. I can't remember them all either. Reminds me did a rock revival show in Vegas early sixties and on the break had lunch with Chuck Berry.

Melbourne:
I went to see 'The Who'.
But as the order of program line up was:
Paul Jones, The Small Faces, and the Who were the main attraction, I saw them last.

I saw Soundgarden at the Aragon ballroom in Chicago. It was ok, I've never really been that big of a Soundgarden fan.

I don't remember the first one, sorry... it was during a time of my life when I was wiping out my memory chemically on a regular basis!

But the most memorable early concert was seeing Elton John at Dodger Stadium on Oct 26, 1975. This was easy to remember, because as I drove my friends home in the massive traffic on the Golden State Freeway, I managed to cause a 5-car pileup that totaled my mother's car and scared the bejesus out of my friends.

I was 17. The concert was wonderful. In later years I learned that Elton attempted suicide the next weekend. Eventually I repaid my mother for the damaged car (no collision coverage :-( )

It was a heady time.

Luther Vandross..He was amazing! So great in person, not a studio voice at all. He was the real deal! Such a sad lost.
