Never. not on a large sacle, at least. I did saw Congreso a few times, because it is a quiet group. But I hate massive events.

By accident: Alquin 1974, on a school party, I was 13! First real progrock concert: Yes 1977 Going For The One tour, amazing: Chris Squite with his triple neck, Steve Howe with his guitar museum and Rick Wakeman with his wide range of keyboards on 3 different floors, including 5 Minimoogs!

Damn I'm jealous of you older guys!  (I was born in 1977).  Although the Yes concerts I have been to in the past 10 years have been great, it would have been incredible to have gone to shows in the 70s.

I don't remember which was first, it was either Yes w/Patrick Moraz, or Queen on the Bohemian Rhapsody tour.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Not entirely sure now as it was all a very long time ago, but it would certainly have been at Newcastle City Hall, early 70's. I think it must have been Genesis, probably the Foxtrot tour.

ELP, Greens Playhouse (later the Apollo), Glasgow about 1971. Had to stand on the seat for the entire concert to see, cause everyone else was standing on theirs.

Unforgettable!
