Nice,  Winter Tour '74 and the first airing of the proto WYWH songs. |
The climax of the WYWH songs was shining a few spots onto a rotating mirrored ball flooding the arena with thousands of bits of light. Sounds a bit dated now but at the time it was really effective. Then there was the DSotM projection onto a large circular screen. I still have the Melody Maker review taped to the inner sleeve of my vinyl.
Ahh memories

Barclay James Harvest, Newcastle City Hall 75 or 76, can't quite remember. I had seen a couple of local bands before that though but can't remember their names.

I saw Yes in 2003 with my dad. At that point (I was 14) the only rock album I had ever heard was Fragile and I had listened to it about once, so it was an experience. I enjoyed the show, but sometimes I get frustrated remembering because it would have been so much better if I had known all the songs and who the musicians were, as I do now.

I was taken to see the 'Six Bob tour' - Lindisfarne,Genesis and VdGG at Croydon Fairfields Hall in 1971.I was 11 at the time.My Uncle,who was a big Lindisfarne fan took me.He had played the album(s) to me and I liked them quite a lot.He knew that I was on school holidays at the time so, he and his girlfriend took me.
I Can just about remember Lindisfarne playing.They were the singles chart act at the time after all!
The first Prog(ish) gig that I paid to see was one of the 'Saturday Gigs' at the Chalk Farm Roundhouse.
The Line up was U.F.O.,Strife and a couple of other bands.These were called 'The Saturday Gigs' as they took place during the afternoon because of the power-cuts brought on by the miner's strike.
Within the year I saw Genesis at Wembley Empire Pool playing The Lamb...

Well Easy Money, yesterday evening I watched a Rock & Roll history DVD in which Alie Cooper explained that his music and theater was a reaction on the Love & Peace era, he was fed up with it and wanted to provoke with horror and heavy music!

Yeah Alice was a part of a new generation of bands that spoke to my (our?) post-hippie generation.
Deep Purple with Ian G, Black Sabbath and early ELP were all part of that. Back in the early 70s we pretty much considered Alice to be sort of toungue in cheek progressive rock.

I went to see Genesis at Stafford Bingley Hall the following year, my first prog gig.

I saw Porcupine Tree in Glensdale, Pennsylvanina on October 7th (I think) last year. I wish I go back and experience that for the first time again!

The first big concert I remember going to was Ozzfest back in 1998, I must have been 12 or 13. 
I remember seeing Sevendust, Limp Bizkit  , and of course Ozzy. The first band we saw when we got there was the end of Incubus' set back before they were even close to popular.
The worst part was that Tool was there, but I didn't like them at the time so I didn't pay any attention!

Since I'm older than dirt I can't say for sure but I think it was The Five Americans singing their hit "Western Union" at the Bronco Bowl in the mid 60s. Or it could have been the Beach Boys about the same time. Well, you DID ask!
