I blame Wynton, what was the question?

King Crimson, 1984, at Merriweather Post Pavilion.
Camel 1975 at The Kursaal Ballroom, Southend-on-Sea, magical adventurous night, first time off the parental leash, appetite whetted forever!
November 6, 1999. Progfarm.
Did see Lady Lake (NL) Sinkadus (Sweden) Flamborough Head (NL) Gnidrolog (UK) Janison Edge (UK) and Regenesis (UK)
Basically went to see Sinkadus and ReGenesis. I really enjoyed it.
But the best of the best (music and sound quality wise) was the second time I went to see PROG in action: Camel in 2003. The Farewell Tour.
My mate and I still talk about it whenever we go to a concert. It was that special.

She was gold alright, but then so is rust.

Mid sixties, I saw the Who at Tiles Club off the Tottenham Court Road in London. My first actual pre-prog show was when The Doors opened for Jefferson Airplane at the Roundhouse in '68.
My first ever "rock concert" was Bill Haley & the comets at the Kilburn State around 63, closely followed by the Little Richard & Jerry Lee Lewis package tour... but that was also long before prog was ever a word...
Back then, it was just how rock 'n roll was progressing.

Yes Drama tour 1980 soon followed by John Anderson`s Song of Severn Tour !
Kansas - Monolith Tour - Absoultey fantastic show with the band at their peak.
Steve Sly
Rush on Dec 31, 1976 - Maple Leaf Gardens. Great show from my recollection. It's a bit muddled in my mind with the Dec 31, 1977 and 1978 shows, all of which were terrific. For me it was their golden age.
I think it was Day of Phoenix around 1968-69 at a local gig near my home.
The first international band was 'The Who' Copenhagen 1970 or more probably John Mayall's bluesbreakers (Turning point band) a year before.
I was 15 and saw The Hawkwind Space Ritual Tour in late 1973!
It was so awesome...
Kansas on the Point of Know Return tour: Janaury 3rd, 1978 Seattle
prog? hhm Yes touring for Relayer at Cow Palace Daly City, in 6/25/1975 or so . warm up band was Ace.

March 8, 1977. First concert ever. Genesis at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Wind & Wuthering Tour.

Jethro Tull at the Oakland Coliseum, 1972
Mogrooves, when I saw ELP, the opening band was called Frosty, named after Lee Michael's drummer, who fronted the band. It was not a very exciting set, but ELP was just awesome! Lighthouse was excellent, quite jazzy for much of the set. When I saw Hendrix the first time, the opening bands were two local groups, TIME and the MC5 (and the 5 were typically quite good), then Soft Machine and finally Hendrix.
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
Saw both Yes and Rush in 1983 but I think I saw the John Mac, Paco and Al w/Steve Morse tour the year before that. That was so long ago I can't remember the exact years of all of the shows I saw. Saw a bunch of other bands around this time but not sure everyone would count them as progressive.
I'm always stunned when guys here can tell us how good a concert was in 1969, I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday or where I left my car keys.
