Nostalgia thread part III: First concert and last concert?

[MrMagpie]

What was the first concert you ever went to? And what was the last one you went to?

 

Bonus: what was the first concert you ever went to that you paid for with your own money.

First Concert I paid for myself: KISS in Lake Charles, Louisiana on Dec 6, 1979. My accounting teacher asked me if I was a Satan worshiper because everyone knows KISS stands for Kings in Satan's Service. I told her yes and she almost fainted. :lol: Three classes later when I got to my drafting class, my friend had written "Hail Satan" on my drafting table.

[Christa42]

Angie you saw Led Zep? that was one i always wished to see. robert plant was sooo friggin hot

[LFDianne]

You know it! In the Ford station wagon, no less! Personally, I never had an 8-track player, but I did have my tape recorder that I would record songs off the radio on. I would sit by the radio for hours until my favorite songs would come on and then I'd rush to hit the record button. LOL The very first mix-tapes.
