The first concert I ever attended

On Facebook, there's this thing going around:  


"FIRST CONCERT YOU ATTENDED! Everyone please play! You may find it interesting to know what your FB friends first concert was. Copy & paste this on your profile, then put your First Concert at the end of this sentence:"  

I find things like this interesting: I notice the different type answers among various age groups.  
I thought hard, and finally decided my first concert was Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, around 1972.  We took our two small children with us and, as I recall, they were well-behaved for a three- and five-year-old; but then, both of them enjoyed music.  
So that's the concert I posted in my Facebook status.  
Later it occurred to me that wasn't my very first concert.  No, that would be Peter, Paul and Mary performing at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City.  I was single and went alone, riding the bus to get there and taking a taxi home.  Odetta opened for them.  
It was sometime around 1964, I suppose.  
I'm not changing my Facebook status though; because really, who cares, and what does it matter?  
Do you remember the first concert you attended?
