First Concert: July 7, 1974 Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Great show, first rock concert in the OMNI arena after it was built which had the longest roof 'span' of any indoor arena up to then. Jeane Dixon a psychic back then predicted that the roof would collapse because of the noise, got to admit to keeping an eye on the ceiling during the concert!

Best Concert: For people watching Jimmy Buffet in 2000 at the Atlanta Lakewood Fairgrounds. Just unreal spectacle and that was in the parking lot before ever going in the concert gates. For music, my daughter took me to Dick Dale a few years ago at the Earl in East Atlanta, fantastic music in a close setting plus got to hang out with my daughter the whole time!
