and BE HONEST

When you were an little nipper, what was the first band/artist you ever saw live? The more embarassing, the better.

I think the first band I ever saw live was The Hollies...

Cheap Trick Live at Budokan tour

Heh. I saw them at a bar called The Islands in Gainesville back in... '84 or '85. I got the impression that their star was on the wane, but it was a fun concert. I still like them. Live at Budokan is an awesome album.
