What was your first concert? - Page 3

Baileykat · 01-12-2005, 05:12 PM

Ahhh...Barry Manilow! A friend of mine had tickets for the last time he was in town...she was practically having to PAY her children to go with her...I would have gone..but I had other obligations...

John Denver huh...My grandfather was something of a small time concert promoter in the 60's-70's - He has the cancelled check from booking John Denver in my hometown...many many eons ago...
dorky yes...but I felt obligated to share my families small claim to fame!

LOL Well, I won't lie. It was so cool at that age. I even won a satin Shaun Cassidy pillowcase {remember satin was his big thing?} that he autographed!
Yes, I do still have it.

Did Shaun sing Doo Run Run? My cousin, Stacey, and I used to do this huge routine in pig tails and matching clothes, including knee high socks with short shorts to Doo Run Run!!!

Shaun is partly why my daughter is named......Cassidy. My husband HATES having to admit that she is named after Shaun. He usually won't tell someone unless they ask if she was named after David. Apparently, Shaun is more palatable, since no guys know who he was, until he mentions the Hardy Boys.

My poor man.

Same as my older sister! She loved him. She had a crush on him and David. She went with my aunt. (Same aunt that took me to Tony Orlando.)

MouseWife · 01-12-2005, 05:20 PM

GC~ that is one cool aunt. My sister did stuff like that for us when we were growing up {she is almost 10 years older than I am}.

Oh man, yes, I think I still love David Cassidy. Those old Partridge Family shows, mmm mmm mmm.

Shaun was so sexy to me but I didn't really know what it all meant at that age {what, 11? 12?}

Now take me to see Chris Cornell shirtless and I know why I feel that way!

New Edition and Menudo also had some fancy synchronized moves, Kim.

They predate NKotB.

Joey Mac got a standing ovation by me and two other girls at Wicked. :o

I danced with Dirk Diggler at the Hilton in Portland, but I made out with one of the Funky Bunch that night. Dirk Diggler liked my bootie.

I should have stuck with him and not let myself get sweet talked by Scottie G.

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.

That's ok Claire...I named my Kassidy after a Hawaiian Tropics Model I saw on TV. I just liked the name Kassidy with a K!

We'll just save that story for a rainy day when she's, oh say, 16!
