The first concert I ever went to was REO Speedwagon at the Jacksonville, Florida Collisum back in 1974. It only cost $5.00 at the door. It was fun, but not the best one.
The best one for me was Deep Purple and ELO at Indianapolis in 1974 or 75. At least I think it was '74'. Memories a little foggy about the date. The music was awesome and the crowd was great. Maybe the micro-dot made the music better. It certainly made the experience strange. I was going to take my girl friend, but she pissed me off so I took a friend.
It was so funny after the concert. A man with a bible walked up to my friend Mark and said, "Did you know Jesus is your lord and savior"? Mark replied in a way that had come to be expected of him. He said, "Well actually I worship Satan". The man with the bible held the bible up to Mark's face, and Mark put his hands to his face as if to protect it and ran away screaming and yelling. It was so funny. The man with the bible just stood there with his mouth open in disbelief. We laughed our heads off.
ELO were always a good show , I saw them a couple of times and they rocked the roof off.
These guys have been gigging for decades and they always give the feeling that they are there because they love their work.

Best small venue, Stone Balloon Tavern, 1973. Bruce Springsteen before he went nationwide and hit the really big time. :D
