It was an outdoor rock festival in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1984. I think it was called the American Rock Festival. We saw Ratt, Accept, Quiet Riot, Night Ranger, Triumph, Motley Crue, and Ozzy. It was awesome.

Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton in the 80s...with my mommy.

It was in Philadelphia and I believe in their "Islands in the Stream" heyday.

My first was Elvis. My mom got tickets when I was a kid. It was a year or 2 before he died.

My first concert with a boyfriend was Styx~1980 i think. Paradise Theater, I was 15.

Doobie Brothers at Pine Knob - around 1979 or 1980, I think. My girlfriend's sister took us! That is about all I remember from that concert. And no, I wasn't drinking, I just have no memory left
