50.....,....

Rick Springfield in 82 @ 12 yrs old,LOL!

Then he came to a local club I worked at in 99, I saved my concert ticket from 82 and had him sign it 99. He was "it" back in the day, then he went thru some bad times.

He freaked out seeing a concert ticket that old, almost brought a tear to his eye.

My second concert was Dio, in Vegas @ 14 yrs old.
I have been to alot of concerts, funny when Kansas tried to keep Motley Crue out, grrrr! It didn't work!

First Concert
 

The Kinks, with Bryan Adams opening.

Kinks were awesome!

Bryan Adams was a complete dick -- he was getting booed so he threatened not to do his "big song", "Lonely Nights". The crowd booed louder -- what did he expect?

(The second show was Billy Squier opening for Queen -- amazing show!!!!)

Mine is a weird one - my first real concert I went to was KISS in like 1977...however, upon further inspection - from my aunt telling me that when I was 4 years old...she and my other aunt (who were in high school @ the time) took me with them to see Herman's Hermits...

OKAY...but that's not the punch line...even though I always thought it was...

Later on in life, I worked in the music business for MCA records...and we had lots of info on bands that had toured, etc in the past...and it turns out that the year that they took me to see Herman's Hermits...THE WHO opened for Herman's Hermits...so...the FIRST band I ever saw in concert tured out to be the WHO!
:P

Fitz

I saw Prince in Cleveland, Ohio in 1983. :thumbsup

ZZ Top, 10th row back ... center ... good show. : )

No indeed, Alice Cooper was the headliner. It was the Constrictor tour, caught it at the U.N.O. Lakefront Arena!

Thanks to Mom, I am now a metal head!! :D

999 and DRI, what a combo....

Pearl Jam, VS. Tour, with Eleven and American Music Club.
Empire Polo Fields, Indio, CA '93

Stevie Ray Vaughn i fucking loved it!!!

I saw them (999) with the Dead Kennedys back in the early 80s (or late 70s)

pssst, he was never "it"

1992 GNR and Metallica with Faith No More opening... ahh, the memories :)

REO Speedwagon.

George Harrison, Billy Preston, and Ravi Shankar.....waaay back in the day, I was like 6 or 7 and my old man took me to see that at the LA Coloseum...

Pearl Jam

first: prodigy
last: rammstein

:bowdown Im jealous i never got a chance to see him live and im kicking myself for not going to see him when i had the chance. Stevie is a guitar god one of the best there was. Another one cut down in his prime

Mine was Neil Diamond with my mom LOL Oh god how embarassing..

After that on my own it was Day on the Green at the Oakland Colliseum with Guns N Roses, Metallica and Body Count

Grateful Dead at the Shoreline Colliseum I think it's called and Pink Floyd!

I can't remember which one came first

besides dead shows with my parents when i was a kid, my first concert with friends was...(gasp)...winger

Aerosmith in a school gymnasium opening for ShaNaNa in 1975.

BON JOVI way backin eithh grade, must have been 1992.

"a night with Metallica" in '92 for the cheezy Black album

Ozzy....Hunstville Alabama, 82 or 83

Bad Religion was my first show, in Jacksonville FL

paula abdul and color me bad

Rolling Stones, at the Skydome when I was 13 and sat in the 3rd row :thumbsup

"Who - Tommy" think it was the 20th anniversary they had Roger Doltery(sp), Elton John just to name a few reprise their roles and played at Universal, awesome show.

Redman and Method Man with Notorious B.I.G. -- 1994 Hampton University Coliseum

definitely metallica! :)

I think my first big one was Smashing Pumpkins. Lovely!!

Rush in 1992. I remember taking a cute young thing named Natasha. What a great show.

my mom took us all to see ShaNaNa when I was about four

Sting when he performed in my university in the Middle East.

First BIG show was David Lee Roth with Tesla opening up at Nassau Coliseum I guess in 86 or 87?? It was Tesla's first show other than a few small clubs. They were great! Dave's music was not that great but Steve Vai was in the band then and he is just out of this world and made it worth it. He did this guitar solo that no human being should be able to play and then he would just start rolling around, tumbling, flinging guitar and never missing a note. I tell you he must be an alien to be able to play like that! :)

Toronto was great. Saw them one night on a double bill with Headpins at Tony's East strip club in T.O.

Helluva show.

awww, come on!

I know you have heard "Jessie's Girl"

:winkwink:

It was the first European tour of Public Enemy, Beasty Boys and LL Cool J in Amsterdam (Jaap Edenhal). Never will forget it.

My first concert... Garbage opening for Smashing Pumpkins.... unbelievable!

Journey :)

Eagles, 1980. At Alpine Valley, in Troy Wisconsin. Just before the broke up. I was 13.

One hit hardly makes someone "it."

I think my first concert was Sugar Ray back with their first album, Lemonade & Brownies. I believe Stabbing Westward opened for them.

With parent: George Michaels (yes, of Wham fame.........)

Without: Aerosmith...much better ;)
