Your first concert never leaves you.

Northwest Ohio’s First Concert Memories Are Exactly What You’d Expect (And A Few Surprised Us)

Northwest Ohio listeners didn’t disappoint when we asked about the first concert you ever saw — and the memories came rolling in fast.

From Toledo Sports Arena classics to fairgrounds shows and once-in-a-lifetime stadium nights, the stories prove one thing: your first concert sticks with you forever.

Here are just a few of the answers we saw:

KISS and Cheap Trick at the Pontiac Silverdome.
AC/DC at Fort Wayne Coliseum.
Motley Crue at the Toledo Sports Arena in 1985.
Huey Lewis and the News at Kings Island.
Fleetwood Mac, Journey and Pablo Cruise in 1978.
Neil Diamond in Fort Wayne back in 1972.
Van Halen at Hara Arena in Dayton.
Def Leppard’s Pyromania tour with Krokus opening.
Poison, Firehouse and Damn Yankees in Toledo.
Bay City Rollers at the Ohio State Fair.
Thin Lizzy opening for Queen at Toledo Sports Arena.
REO Speedwagon at the Popcorn Festival in Marion.
Ted Nugent at the Toledo Sports Arena.
Boston and Sammy Hagar at Centennial Hall.
Judas Priest in 1982 in Toledo.
Blue Oyster Cult in the late ’70s at the Sports Arena.

And one listener even said their first concert experience was watching Led Zeppelin’s The Song Remains the Same in a theater — which absolutely counts. A lot of these memories share something else in common too: They happened right here in Northwest Ohio. The Toledo Sports Arena alone showed up again and again — proving just how important that venue was to a generation of rock fans.

So now we’ll ask again:  What was your first concert?
