In 1969, while at the University of Akron, a frat brother offered me a seat in his VW bus and he said he was going to a rock concert at some place called Woodstock. I turned him down.

1978 working at Sunshine Village heard talk of a new ski area being expanded north of Vancouver. General opinion was no one will be interested, too much rain and a big garbage dump near the bottom of the hill. Turns out they were wrong about Whistler.
Kind of the same as who would want to live in a old shitty mining town like Canmore.

First concert - Bruce Springsteen/Born in the USA tour. Thanks Mom!

Rode the single at Stowe with a blanket

Beastie Boys opened up for RUN DMC. It was 1987 at Rosemont Horizon.

I saw them on that same tour at the San Diego Sports Arena in June, 1987.

Due to some well publicized “rap riots” earlier that spring security was beefed up. It was the first time at a concert that I had a wand metal detector waved over me at the gate to get in. My Mom was freaking out about me & my buddy going to the show as she thought her 19 year old baby (me) was going to get shanked. No fights, no violence as the crowd was overwhelmingly white surfer kids. I still have that ticket stub.

I just happened to watch The Individualist last night on DVD. All you Gen Beastie dudes should check it out if somehow you missed it.

Warthog created a thread a couple years back.

That's a great way to start your concert going years. The Ramones were, and still are. awesome.

I was very lucky to see them again in 1993 at a little independent festival in small town Alberta. They hadn’t changed a bit and it was, as you say, awesome.

OK, first bindings?

Until I bought my 1st pair of skis, Spademan bindings with runaway straps, which no one bother to tell us what they were for. Figured it about about 1/2 way through the 1st session when a lone ski went mach looney down the trails and into the liftline.

Then when I bought skis, Look 77Ns. When I started patrolling I switched to Sollys for ease in/out. 727s.

[TBS]

My first bindings were Look Nevada toes with a cable heel that ran to a cam lock in front of the toe. On 210cm Head 360 skis

Second set was Nevada toe and Explodamat heel.

[Cisco Kid]

Don't know the brand but they were Bear Trap style with cables.

[whyturn]

My first pair of skis at 30 were the the K2 fours red white and blue Flipped those and got the mod dampening Then pontoons

Rode the lift with a random person this morning, said "Morning", reply was Good Morning Sir.

maybe. He really didn't have that air about him, but I'll take it, since it means I'm not old then.

[old goat]

First skis were no name wooden skis from the local department store, with no name cable bindings and no name lace up leather boots. As good as anything for skiing SE Michigan. Speaking of SE Michigan--MC5 at the Grande Ballroom. I turned a friend on to them the other day--Kick Out the Jams. She couldn't believe they were a 60's band--the ultimate protopunk band. I saw Iggy and the Stooges there too.
