"The hit song", as such, or the favourite song that attracted you, from the band or artist playing at the first big gig you went to, all those years ago..

01 - Lay Down. (Candles In The Rain) - Melanie

 

[picowallspeaker]

No big gigs, I was watching MTV and this song really "catched"

02 - Wot - Captain Sensible

I was not yet in school but it was a free gig and everybody went.
20 years later I finally succumbed to the groove and bought the album (the song is side B). Still play it on my car ipod.

08 - Phaedra - Tangerine Dream ( 31st October 1990. This was only an excerpt from the original Phaedra which was over 20 mins long, but was the best thing at that gig, though Linda Spa playing her saxophone ( not on this track ) provided some memorable eye candy )

 

[bendyha]

This isn't moving along to well, so I will add the additional post of the first big open-air gig I was at. 1977, 60,000 people, Calder Park Raceway, Melbourne. Top acts - Fleetwood Mac, Carlos Santana, and local matadors, Little River Band. Many great songs, but the top song has to be F-Mac's first encore, -The Chain.

This isn't moving along to well, ... possibly because having to admit to some of the stuff we listened to back then. My parents were friends with a guy called Adge Cutler who founded a popular U.K . band . I spent my childhood going with them to his gigs so i'll add one .

[soundbrigade]

At age 15 I heard King Crimson on the radio (no such music is ever played now a days) and I knew that finally someone had produced the kind of music I had been waiting for.

Jethro Tull My first two big concerts were to be the two best shows out of the many over the years. ELP Brain Salad Surgery and JT Passion Play.

I agree with the Tull concert, saw them in 1977, and was stunned by them. Minstral in the gallery, Songs from the wood.....Three hours of top music.

 

[Tubelab_com]

ELP Brain Salad Surgery and JT Passion Play.

I saw Tull on the tour to support the Stand Up album. In fact my original LP has the band members pop up in the center as you open up the record album. Tull played a free concert at the University of Miami that also featured Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and several south Florida bands. The concert went on from noon until late in the evening when Tull closed the show. A few scattered bits on Google tell me that this show happened May 16, 1970.

I saw ELP right after Lucky Man hit the radio. They played some music that I didn't recognize. It became obvious when Pictures at an exhibition came out. Saw them again for Brain Salad Surgery.....all excellent shows.

I heard King Crimson on the radio (no such music is ever played now a days)

I heard Epitaph on the radio late one night and was standing at the local "hippie" record store in Coconut Grove when they opened the next day to get that record......still have it!

This isn't moving along to well, ... possibly because having to admit to some of the stuff we listened to back then.

Maybe some of us have a hard time remembering which concert was actually our first. I think there were some concerts that I saw before Hendrix, but can't remember who, or where.....probably local Miami bands. Certainly none left the lasting impression that Hendrix did.

I saw the Moody Blues at least a dozen times over 40+ years, Pink Floyd 3 or 4 times, Metallica I think 5 times, One Lollapalooza,.....but after 40 years, they all blur together. There might be a reason for this?????

I was at the infamous Door's concert where Morrison allegedly exposed himself, but I can't tell you exactly what happened, and neither could many other people I knew who were there......could it be the "party favors" that were being passed out??????

Moving Pictures is my favourite Rush album, but I like most of their stuff from around this era, started to go off them around Roll The Bones onwards, though haven't heard any of their most recent stuff, keep meaning to check it out.
