Rush- Halloween night, 1976. I was a bit young, but it was a lot of fun. My first truly memorable one was early on- Black Sabbath and Van Halen. I had a friend who hailed from Huntington beach, and she told me about this kick ass band named Van Halen that she used to see in the clubs down there. Black Sabbath truly sucked (Ozzy was doing lots of drugs then), but Van Halen blew everyone away- they had just released their first album, and I went right out and bought it. (Yes, an album.

).
