What was the first Concert you ever went to?
 

Mine was James Brown. My parents took me to the show when i was like 5years old. I remember getting a light up yo-yo

The Eagles, Hell Freezes Over Tour, at the United Center in chicago. It was 1994, and I was 10. Two guys in front of me were smoking doobies the whole night. i ended up falling asleep near the end of the concert, woke up during the encore. when I got home, all i could taste in my mouth was pot. i think that was the first time i got high.

pink floyd. my felon ex-stepfather took me when i was a kid. i'm sure he stole the money to buy the tickets.

first concert i went to on my own was motley crue.

SLAYER , Megadeth and Anthrax Alpine Valley JUN15th 1991

Led Zeppelin
April 1970

Heart - but not overweight, 1980's Heart, but Dreamboat Annie, two sexy Wilson sisters Heart. I was 10.

The opening act was Black Oak Arkansas - Jim Dandy Mangrum in tights and nothing else (yuck) and Ruby Starr. I bet no one has any BOA to share!

The Beach Boys on some reunion tour in like '95. I was just a youngster. I think Mike Love was the only actual Beach Boy in the band

White Lion opened up for Stryper at the DECC.

I almost caught a bible!







Yeah, I know . . .

I saw Slipknot, Lamb of God and Shadows Fall in 2005

Counting Crows
2001
This Desert Life Tour

Parents took me to Neil Diamond when I was 4.
Went to Smashing Pumpkins when I was 15.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Spacehog, and the Toadies (REMEMBER THEM?) at the United Center 1995, emokid, you from Chicago too? I grew up in the North Burbs.

James Brown @ the DECC (Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center) 61 clicks of the bong bridge indeed. He was way old and totally danced for 2 hours. RIP.

man i always wanted to see the Pumpkins but there was always some reason or another i couldnt go every time they had a show. I only ended up seeing them 1 time.

Metallica opened by The Cult
Summer '88
\m/\m/

Kiss
 

Kiss Alive2 1977 then Dynasty in 1979... Those were concerts. Wish I could remember them :)

Poison with Tesla in Hampton, VA when i was 13!! There was some other 12 or 13 yo there with his parents and they made him leave with in the first 20 min of Tesla b/c they dropped the f-bomb like 20 times!!! haha.. loser!

The Eagles + Foreigner + Cheap Trick + Christopher Cross in 1980. A month later I experienced Queen live.
:cool:

Bad Company and Lynard Skinnard in....94, I think, at SEMO in Missouri

OH, might as well throw in the best too...

Aerosmith!

(although I haven't seen Kiss, I heard they were better)

That sucks. I was able to see them twice. I have the 2nd show bootlegged and looking for the first one I went to.

OH Yeah...
 

David Lee Roth in 1986. With Steve Vai in the band... It was a great show!

old or what
 

For me it was George Harrison (he had Ravi Shankar playing sitar) an amazing intro to rock.

Johnny Cash in 1975, then Aerosmith in '78. Angel opened for them. Loudest damn concert I've ever been to.

holy shit... i have seen those videos with David Lee Roth in them and that dude put on a show! Spandex and all. Plus major amounts of nasty groupies showing their tits and getting crazy... Woulda liked to have seen one of those shows!

omg... i went to see Go-Go's with an older girl cousin of mine.

i dont remember much i just remember that there were a lot of girls there

and that it wasnt that great of a show

Aerosmith in 1977
Kick-ass show!

jan 1996 Rusted Root at Penn State. Won tickets off the radio. 1st purchased ticket Dec 96 Stone Temple Pilots. fuckin awesome.. they did their encore all acoustic from a stage lowered from the rafters.

that Go Go concert had to be a lesbian fest. wait. . . i take that back. lesbians are hot. did you have a bunch of bull dykes around you?

Saw an unknown band called Rage Against the Machine (and some other band?) open for House of Pain at the Troc in Philly during the winter of 1992. Great show and still the only concert I went to where the sprinklers went off in the middle of the show...and no they didn't stop for a second!

1982
 

Judas Priest/Iron Maiden Cobo arena in Detroit. I was 13. Yes, it was as good as you might think it was. My hearing didnt come back for 3 days.

My first concert was supposed to be Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters March 24, 2000. But I somehow won tickets to the Creed concert for March 23, 2000.
So embarrassing.. first concert: Creed.
A story that I won't be telling the kids.

I'm sorry Sir!

My first one was Garth Brooks. Some guy in a white suit was playing piano when it started and then Garth came out of a hole that opened up in the stage. I thought it was a pretty cool entrance at the age of 10.

First show was my friends band,first big show was Radiohead in 2002 i think.

I went to a Rage concert, lasted about 15 minutes, police shut it down

First ever parents took me to was June Jam and saw Alabama in their hometown and the first I saw on my own was System of a Down(before they blew up like they are now) who opened up for (the greatest ever) Rage Against the Machine in Nashville!!!!

Rush - 1985 Or 6 - Power Windows Tour.

my first show was Styx, for Pieces of Eight. April Wine opened for them. I was 14 at the time.
