Do You Remember?

[Wilfrid1]

Embarrassingly, my first was Focus (of Hocus Pocus fame).

 

Share the shame. I never saw them live, but owned the (double) album. In my defense, it was one of the albums I sold after the Sex Pistols showed me the errors of my ways.

My first concert was the Who's first farewell tour in '81 or '82, at the Capitol Centre in Landover Maryland. I went with three girlfriends, who were scandalized that I accepted a hit from the joint being passed down our row. Does that ever happen anymore?

[Liza]

Which part- the scandalized girlfriends or the passing of the joint?

Definitely not a reference to "the Who farewell tour concert" because I think they're still on a farewell tour. Aren't they?

[Heather]

Which part- the scandalized girlfriends or the passing of the joint?

Passing a joint. Maybe it does and it just doesn't get passed to me anymore.

 

I am still in touch with one of the girlfriends, and she's still a Pollyanna.

 

(The Who are on farewell tour #5, I think.)

[Daisy]

Well, two of the Who said farewell permanently quite some time ago.

I remember snorting speed from the floor of the balcony of The Roundhouse. Probably a Ramones concert.

Was this the place of choice for snorting or were you already there?

[Wilfrid1]

It's where we dropped the damn stuff on the floor.

[The Scream]

Flyer parties. High school students with home computers and printers, printing out party time, date, location and posting them up or passing them out. Shortly after I went to my first rave.

I went with three girlfriends, who were scandalized that I accepted a hit from the joint being passed down our row.

 

When Da Silvano was first open, a joint was passed around one night, first at one table, and then all through the place. Not the sort of thing one sees much anymore.

Wow! Never saw a ten oz doobie!

My very first concert was The Ventures in Osaka.

 

My most favorite concert was Leonard Cohen in an outdoors venue in Austin - only about 200 in the audience and very intimate.

 

The worst concert I ever attended was Rod Stewart , about 15 years ago. Yuck.

[Maurice Naughton]

I've never been to a rock concert.

 

But when I was a boy I used to crawl under a fence at Fairlyland Park (you could look it up) in Kansas City to listen to Jay McShann in the music pavilion. Sometimes Charlie Parker would be playing back.

 

And when I was a young man I used to go to the Embers in Detroit with John Sinclair (yeah, that one) and Lyman Woodward to hear the likes of Roland Kirk and such.

 

And when Joni Mitchell was still married to Chad and just goin' out on her own, I used to go down to the Sippin' Lizard in Flint to listen. Used to talk to her while she was smoking cigarettes between bouts. Heard one of the first public performances of "The Circle Game."
