[McAlmanac]

First gig-ZZ Top

Hooray, at Memorial Drive.

Perhaps the worst concert. Ever.

Mimed the whole show.

And The support act (Rose Tattoo) had a very "off" night as well.

Yes - my official worst concert ever whenever I'm asked.

First album - Abba (self titled)
First single - pretty hazy, but Ballroom Blitz and Crocodile Rock are right at the start.
First gig - Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons, Jimmy & the Boys and The Stockings at Monash Uni in 1981.

[Kahuna]

1st album = Can the Can - Suzi Quattro

Me too!
First single -- Edison Lighthouse-- Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)
First gig --Memo Drive--Status Quo & Black Sabbath
Billy Ward,Black Sabbath drummer had a hissy fit complaining of the cold,even though he chose to perform bare chested,storming from the stage pursued by Ozzy Osbourne and Terry Butler,leaving Tony Iommi alone on stage to improvise a 20 minute guitar solo.It was absolutely the coolest,most inspirational thing I had ever experienced.One man held the entire audience in the palm of his hand.In one of those moments of absolute clarity I knew what I wanted to do with my life.The very next day I began begging,badgering and pleading with my oldies to buy me a drum kit and I dreamt constantly of showing charismatic lead singers and nancy boy axemen the true meaning of power and pressure.They did,I haven't.
