Bit of history here. 1957, 17 years-old, and my first "rock" concert in a local theatre. Supporting act - one of the popular big bands. Then the headline act came on - Buddy Holly and the Crickets - now bear in mind I had never heard an electric guitar live before. With that first chord, I had found my purpose in life !

Later - Iron Maiden, Motorhead, AC/DC, Judas Priest, - get the trend ?

Used to hump PA systems & mix front of house sound in the 80s...big list from Kiss Bowie Tom Petty Ramones Cure Clash UB40 The Pretenders B52s Elton John Inxs ACDC Village People Gary Numan Richard Clyderman Mike Oldfield Rory Gallagher Black Sabbath ( messed my ears up ) XTC Janis Ian KC & The Sunshine Band Devo The Police Leon Russell lots more & tons of local bands...haven't been to a gig in years

"With that first chord, I had found my purpose in life !" I know that feeling
My very first live experience was Rory Gallagher back in 1980
I remember arriving late, the concert had began, dim blue lights many hands waving cigarette lighters an amazing jazz-blues version of "million miles away"....pure magic
and right after.....Moonchild full sound ahead ! oh man i don't feel like typin' anymore gotta hit you tube a lil headbangin' is in order....seeya
