What is the first Rock Concert you went to??

[Waiting For Everyman]

4. The Beatles.

It was Sunday afternoon September 13, 1964 at the Baltimore Civic Center. Tickets were $3.75. I was 14 (going on 20 -- no, not a screamer, too busy taking it all in). There were 14,000 at that show, all of whom were standing on the seats (that was a little weird, I have to say). Mine was Orchestra Center, very good. It was 100% unforgettable.

The opening acts included Clarence 'Frogman' Henry, and Jackie DeShannon.

The set list was: "Twist and Shout," "You Can't Do That," "All My Loving," "She Loves You," "Things We Said Today," "Roll Over Beethoven," "Can't Buy Me Love," "If I Fell," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "This Boy," "A Hard Day's Night" and "Long Tall Sally".

Couldn't find any video from Balto, but this is the entire concert from next door at Washington D.C. Actually this was 7 months earlier than mine, D.C. was the very first US concert, done right after the Ed Sullivan Show in February. It was a very similar performance, but this audience was much more docile than we were.
