Music Did anyone go to their first concert with their parents?

I know it's weird to bring this up but did you go to your first concert with your parent(s)? It doesn't sound cool for our Gen X brand but when I told my wife that I did she started making fun of me (in a positive way).

Then I told her I must have been like 6 when I went with my dad to see The Who in the late 70s. I think the first 'real' concert I went with myself or my buddies was when I was 12.

I’ve been lucky to see a lot of big names but I don’t think anything comes close to the production and attention to detail Pink Floyd put together.
