The 5th Dimension was my 1st rock? concert. It must have been in the mid 70's. I liked it because they had a light show and I knew the song "Age of Aquarius". The 1st concert I snuck to was one in Harrisonburg, VA in 1980. Def Leppard just came out with High & Dry and they were sandwiched between Blackfoot and Johnny Van Zant. I think my friend and me were the only ones at the show to see Def Leppard so we got to meet the entire band after they played. The drummer,Rick Allen, had both arms and the original lead guitarist, Pete Willis, was still in the band. They gave us signed posters and albums and swigged some Jim Beam with the band. We were teenagers and thought this was like meeting royalty.
