Your First Concert Experience

[carnation]

I went to tons of concerts for the big 60s and 70s groups because my cousin told us that we could get in free by ushering at the Houston Coliseum. I don't remember who the first one was--Beatles? Paul Revere and the Raiders? Stones?

You saw The Beatles in concert?!?!?! How I wish I had!
Although I have seen both Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr a few times.

We walked a few blocks to the Houston airport to watch them come in the middle of the night. There were all these trucks tearing around on the tarmac, probably to keep the girls from knowing where the Beatles were (and getting attacked).

So we were off by ourselves, a few hundred feet from everyone else, and suddenly, 2 trucks drove up next to us. Someone set a board between the 2 trucks several feet over our heads and 4 guys ran from one truck into another. We could see their silhouettes in the dark, we could see 4 very agile guys with longish hair. We will always believe it was them.
