Subject: I saw CSN&Y at Cleveland Stadium in August 1974.

My first real rock concert. They headlined a big bill, starting around noon and going until close to midnight. There were about 100,000 people there, counting the 88,000 that sat in the stands, along with all of the people on the infield grass.

CSN&Y were good, but the thing I remember most clearly is when Jesse Colin Young was singing "Sunshine" in the midst of a rain shower and the sun broke through the clouds. That was cool.

Other than Mott the Hoople in '75 and the Tempts/Impressions reunion show in '82, the concert I most regret missing is Van Halen's tour closing show at the LA Forum in December '84. That was the close of the "1984" tour, and it turned out to be Roth's last shows with the band, as well. Given their status as hometown heroes, I've always imagined those shows were a huge party.
