What was your first concert you attended?

angel city
portland or
paramount theater

Summer 1984, Scorpions, MSG with Bon Jovi opening, The Jersey boys were practically booed off stage!

QUEEN in Kalamazoo in 1976 (I think).
I smoked alot back then so the years sort of blend together.
It was one of the best concerts ( I will always remember the show that Freddie Mercury put on)

Oh lordy! First show I saw live was KC and the Sunshine Band at Carowinds. Late '70's, Early '80's.

Bob Segar opened for Aerosmith

I love seeing QUEEN live!!! Freddy Mercury was the greatest front man I have ever seen. A pure genius in my book.

Peter Gabriel is right next to him.

My bad for going off-topic...

First Show was around '74ish......Edgar Winter Group w/Rick Derringer.......Derringer is one of the most under rated guitarists of all time, guy can shread....

Derringer is from Indiana----My first was either Styx or REO

At 14 years old, 1st was Grand Funk Railroad in 1970 at the Hara Arena in Dayton, OH. Could not hear for two days.
My second was the Who. Same venue, for the "Who's Next" tour. A life changing event.... Wow. Even had a piece of Pete's Les Paul that he smashed into a thousand pieces... No idea how it got lost.

Saw Zeppelin in 1977 for free in Tampa. here's a pic I took.

I think my first concert was Alice Cooper, but like the others, memory is a little foggy. But I just saw Edgar Winter a couple weeks ago and he is still kickin azz.

An Elvis impersonator back in 1983. I was 4. Thank ya. Thank ya very much. Uh huh.

My first was one of my favorite band ever, subhumans, I seen them play at the olympic auditorium on May 18 1985. I still have the ticket stub.

After that I seen M.I.A play with wasted Youth, also at the Olympic.

In Aug of 1985 I seen D.O.A. they were from Canada and Conflict from England play good times!!

I seen hundreds of other bands play after those Many of them from England like Charged G.B.H and The EXPLOITED,english dogs, coceney rejects, ect........

But one of the best I ever seen was THE DEAD KENNEDYS, They played at the balboa theater in compton California very good times!!

The one person that I did go see that most of you will have known was David Bowie SAt aug 8 1987 at Anaheim Stadium. The glass spider tour.

My favorite Kennedys album was Too Drunk To F%#k. Didn't think there were any T.D.K. fans here.

Hey Bob.......I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in '75 Gimme Back my Bullets Tour in Miami, man they kicked A$$.
Also saw them in '77 Street Survivors Tour at the Hollywood Sportatorium...unfortunetly a few days later the plane crash happened. What a tragedy....
I have seen then many times since those early days, but man seeing Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, Ronnie Van Zant and later Steve Gaines was a thrill!

Late 60's, Three Dog Night in Stillwater Oklahoma at the fieldhouse at OSU. It was cheaper for my mom to bring me than get a babysitter!
