A girl that works for me is going to her first concert this summer. Had me thinking back (a lot of years back) to my first concert. It was George Michael on the "Faith" tour circa 1987-88(?)! My how my taste in music has changed!

Anyway, just curious (& possibly for laughs) - what is the first concert you went to & the last concert you went to?

me:
George Michael 1987 (Philly)
Radiohead 2008 (Bristow, Va)
