With all the recent topics about our influences and favorite players, revisiting this subject sounds like good fun. There's an existing thread from some years ago: First live concert?, but a new one seemed more appropriate.
I had fun recalling this, because as usual most people had a way cooler first live target than I. For the longest time, my "first concert" memory was of The Hooters opening up for Loverboy at Rosemont Horizon. I've now realized my memory was off, by a year and a half or so.
My first show was The Jacksons at Comiskey Park in October 1984. Now I feel a little better.
[Full disclosure: I wanted to see The Police on Synchronicity, had it been left up to me, but parental interference spoiled my plans.]
