I really wish that I had a cool answer to this, or even some group that multiple people have actually heard of.

My first concert was probably the Clancy Brothers. They sing Irish folk tune type stuff. Here's one for TFD.

James Brown 1965 or 66 in Seattle. He shook my hand, I was just mesmerized. I saw a road trip concert for the show Hullaballo before that but the only person I remember was Rosey Grier the football player (go figure).

They set the bar so high, no other band has ever matched (although the Mothers of Invention came really close)...

Okieboy: Pat Benetar

Saw her in concert for $7 at the cali state fair, back a number of years ago. I wasn't really a fan before the show. You bet your ass I was a fan after it.

Man, I saw that show in Dallas. left wondering who the old black guy was who totally outperformed clapton. Now I am proud to say I got to see him. Wish I had been hip to the blues way back then.

It was the 1999 version of this, so I guess the answer is that it was co-headlined by Rage Against the Machine and Limp Bizkit.

I still love Jones Beach Theater as a concert venue.
