My first concert experience was a really big deal.
My friend's dad, who was this ultra hip guy, took us to see The Beach Boys at the Hollywood Bowl. I think it was 1982 because I somehow remember it being fall, but it could very well have been during the first half of 1983. I was in the 6th grade. All my conccert experience to date had been classical stuff for my mom, who is a classical double bassist.
Not only did we go to the concert, we drove to the concert in a classic woody station wagon, had excellent box seats, great dinners from a restaurant on Melrose, AND backstage passes! We just kind of hung out back there, not doing much. After the concert, we went to the beach. It was one cool experience.
