My Very First Concert
by Pat Adams
I was about twelve or thirteen
when I went to my first concert.
I remember talking my father
into taking me. This was toward
the late 60's and I was just a
kid. I loved The Turtles & Lovin
Spoonful at this point and really
wanted to go to this show,
Also appearing at this show
were The Cyrkle, Lou Christie,
B.J. Thomas and the Nashville
Shadows (a local band).
The concert was held in the
old Fairgrounds Coliseum at
the Tennessee State
Fairgrounds in Nashville.
I remember the concert took
place on the old wrestling rink
without the ropes and the only
lights were the Coliseum house
lights. Tickets were $2.25 in
advance, and $3.00 at the
door. The two shows began
at 6:00 & 9:00pm.
We went to the early show.
I don't remember the Nashville
Shadows. I do remember The
Cyrkle, a young B.J. Thomas
and Lou Christie (who the girls
seemed to like). The Lovin
Spoonful put on a good show
but it was The Turtles that was
my favorite. This was right at
the time She'd Rather
Be With Me was out. I also
remember them doing Happy
Together, as well as other hits.
I thought it was very cool when
a poster (shown above) from
this concert popped up online a
few years ago. The Coliseum
burned down in 1970.

"Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash

We received ten of thousands
of hits in the days afterward.

Her grandfather owned the
property that the plane crashed
on. At my request, she went up
into the family attic and dug out
newspaper articles & actual
pictures of the crash scene.
Read my interview with her.
We published it all on my

| My Second Concert ever, Paul Revere & The Raiders with Special Guests By Pat Adams I've already written about my very first concert, this is about my second concert. The year was 1968, it was a concert at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium featuring Paul Revere & The Raiders, along with opening acts Tommy Roe, Keith Allison and Exile. Exile was originally a rock & roll band. They changed to country music in later years. I just remember that they had matching outfits, not uncommon for bands in the 1960's. I knew who Keith Allison was because he was a regular on the TV show "Where The Action Is". I think, in later years he became a Raider for a while. Tommy Roe put on a good show. I was always a fan of his catchy pop tunes as a kid. I later saw Tommy Roe and Mark Lindsay together in an oldies show at the Tennessee State Fair around the year 2000. Just before Paul Revere & The Raiders were to come on stage, the crowd was asked to leave their seats and go out into the lobby of the auditorium. I later read in the newspaper, the next day, that a small bomb was found in an auditorium restroom. We were eventually able to return to our seats and Paul Revere & The Raiders came out on stage. There they were in person, the guys that I had watched so many times on TV. I remember Mark Lindsay coming out taking pictures of the audience with one of the old flashcube cameras. They played the hits. It was great! I remember at one point in the show one of the members sprayed the drummer (I think) with a fire extinguisher. And, this show had a real stage and stage lights, unlike the first concert that I had gone to. In my mind, it almost seems that my first concert (The Turtles & Lovin Spoonful) was in black and white, and this one was in color. A huge difference considering they were only about a year or two apart. The Nashville Municipal Auditorium remains a Nashville music venue to this day. See my pictures of Paul Revere & The Raiders on September 11, 2002 At The Fair In Nashville |

| Fun (the band) put on a TREMENDOUS show of music bliss from beginning to end. Front man Nate Ruess shared news from the stage that he is thinking of moving to Nashville and that he loves the "Nashviille" tv show. Another "FUN" highlight was seeing Brenda Lee (aka "Little Miss Dynamite") in the mix of a sold out crowd enjoying the concert. Brenda Lee's lifetime record sales are estimated at over 100 million copies according to Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll. By Carol Alger |

Back in the 1980's, I got involved
with the local Nashville music
scene after co-hosting the
Creekers Ball with an old friend.
Our goal was to showcase local
Nashville bands in a concert type
setting. We had seven acres of
land which included a large log
cabin in the River Road area of
Nashville and Ashland City.
We booked a full days worth
of local bands and entertainers,
which was the beginning of the
Creekers Ball, a charity event.
