Wow! I worked as an usher at that show. I had a fun part-time job for a few years after high school working as an usher at Hampton Coliseum, and saw all sorts of diverse acts, ranging from Parliament Funkadelic to The Rolling Stones (Peter Tosh as opening act!!) to Van Halen to everything in between and not. What a fun gig for a kid.

I saw Peter, Paul and Mary in 1967, at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ
The next show was at 15 in the summer of 1976 – Paul McCartney and Wings at Madison Square Garden.
My first Grateful Dead show was September 3, 1977 in Englishtown, NJ

It certainly lived up to all expectations. I guess the MSG show must’ve been odd since there were all those rumors flying around about Lennon possibly showing up.

I’m kind of mortified to say that my first show was Adam and the Ants at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC in 1982. I have no idea how much the tickets cost – I was 14.
Saw a variety of concerts over the next few years, varying from the Ramones to the Go Gos to Chicago and James Taylor.
Then on March 27, 1985 I saw my first Dead show at Nassau Collesium and that is when I really began to understand what music was really all about!
