First concert - The Beatles! Saw them at Forest Hills Stadium in NY

Cool! I know somebody else that was at that show. Funny, I saw The Cars at Forrest Hills Tennis Stadium in the summer of '84 right after I graduated high school. Wang Chung opened up for them. My cousin and I somehow got my aunt to pay for really good seats for us. All I can remember is that they opened with 'Hello Again' and about a third of the way into the show it started to rain. Fast forward to now: I saw Ric Ocasek play CBGB last week. After the gig was over he was doing an informal meet & greet in one of the rooms behind the stage. I told him that I saw him at that gig in '84, and he said "Oh yeah, I was just talking about that. That was the night I got shocked".

I don't remember THAT...
