Doobie Brothers--before the dreaded Michael Mcdonald joined them and destroyed them.

Cowsills, Jan. 11, 1972, Huntington High School Auditorium

Look, I was *real* little at the time. For some reason, Dad took the whole family and we ended up leaving mid-way through because it was "too loud". Hmmm... I'll have to ask him about that unusual family outting.

I can remember 1972 but, unfortunately, I can't remember my first NW concert!

BTW, to put things in perspective, the Cowsills were the inspiration for the Partridge Family!!

Haha! Out of curiousity, I D/L'd a Cowsills song (The Rain, The Park and Other Things) and recognized it from the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack.... classic!

I saw Ratt @ Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport, LA and Bon Jovi opened for them (and was booed). I was about 10-11 and remember being introduced to the lovely scents of pot and vomit. I don't remember much about the show as I was too damned short to see very much.

<br>I know we talked about this before but,
My first concert was the Dobbie Brothers at the Nassau Coliseum in 1981.
My first New Wave concert may have been APB at Heartbeat.

I remember talking about this also in the past and I couldn't remember the name of the band. Now (it must be age) the name has come to me! The band ... Molly Hatchet in the early spring of 81 (I was 13)[:I]. I made up for such a bad first choice when I saw The Jam in LA (May 81)[8D].
