    Default Firsts

    First album I ever purchased was Sgt. Peppers, still love it.
    First overseas band I ever saw live, The Monkees at Festival Hall Melb.
    First "big" Australian band I saw live, The Masters Apprentices at the Oakleigh Town Hall.

    IMHO J'OK was the father of Australian rock. I was only a young tacker but I still remember my mum dancing around the kitchen whenever they played Move Baby Move on the radio. Brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. Thanks for the memory Watson.

    First concert I went to was Gary Glitter at the WACA when I was about 14....a bit too old for him to have interested in me.
    The first real album I bought (not 20Dynamic Hits or something) was Suzi Quatro "Can the can" . Thrashed it within an inch of its life!!

    Cheers

    First album I bought with my own money was Explosive hits '71 - The second track on the album was Black Night. Blew me away. I've loved guitar music since.
    First BIG concert was ELO at the Music Bowl in Melbourne, 8th February 1978.
    First Australian band was the Keystone Angels (yes, the Angels) at a lunchtime gig at Frankston High School mid to late Seventies. Loved them ever since. Got to meet Doc in'92 and reminded him about that. He was quite embarrassed.
