The DU Lounge
In reply to the discussion: What was the first concert you attended as a teen or adult. Mine was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon tour in the nose [View all]Niagara
(12,129 posts)chosen and was an entire family event that was 3 hours from home.
I was a pre-teen and we were looking for our seats at the venue. I looked around and there was another girl there from my school. I was a tad embarrassed to be spotted at this event as this isn't what I would have chosen.
To make a long story short, I witnessed Randy Travis, Dolly Parton and Dwight Yokem individually on stage all at the same venue. That Dwight Yokem was quite the on stage character as well. He would put his back to the audience, play his guitar and shuffle across the stage while swinging his butt.
Now as an adult I'm glad that I had the opportunity to experience these three country "greats" even if it wasn't in my preferred genre of music at the time.
I'm more happy that I got to experience Dolly Parton especially.
