CAL JAM 2! At the Ontario Motor Speedway..........I don't remember much though........... :Beerp:
Haha I was there for Cal Jam 2 with ya. Didnt know ya but i was there. Wasnt that a Riot?
Anyway,, First Concert was 1968 with mah GF "Susie Q". It was the "Steve Miller Band" opening for Janice Joplin (Big Brother and the Holding Co.) at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. It was total Chaos. I think the place held around 5 or 6 thousand people and Im telling you, eveyone was stoned beyond reality. Weed smoke was like a fog in the place and peeps selling drugs everywhere. The Cops were there, but they didnt seem to be arresting anyone. It was crazy. I was 14 as was Susie. A time to remember.
Thank you for Asking Esco.
To be truthful, I have as good a time, everytime I go out camping with mah friends at Glamis. Eat,Ride,Eat more, party, Ride more, settle in for some Party and Dinner(usually BBQ). Sometimes nite-ride over the hills to Oldsmobile and watch them come up from the top. The days go by Quick. We usually camp out Gecko, Keyhole or Roadrunner.

Not sure, I think either Alice Cooper in Charlotte, NC, or The Peachtree Festival at Rockingham Race track (NC Motorspeedway) in 1972-3
Man that was a long time ago.

Get this! Lighter Shade of Brown at Magic Mtn with my best friend Karen. I think we were seniors in high school 17.
I have a ton of favorites since then...buncha us girls seeing No Doubt at Glen Helen, U2 in Vegas, then :OMG: GUNS AND F'N ROSES! Was their first time playing in LA area in 15 years (KROQ's Inland Invasion), but Alice in Chains opened for them and they were just as good with their new singer. 2010's fav concert was Sublime at OC Fair with someone real special. I think a lot of times it's more the company that makes things beautiful then the actual activity. Then even better is when it's both.

Parents took me to see Garth Brooks around '90.
On my own was probably Garbage opening for Smashing Pumpkins in '96 at SD Sports Arena, shortly followed by many visits to the second incarnation of Soma for Social D, Guttermouth, Blink, Bad Religion, Buck-O-Nine, Unwritten Law...
