    Yeah, I'm old! I was 12 at the time. Still have the ticket - $5.50. Didn't hear too much over the screaming.

    I am showing my age. My first concert was Cat Stevens 1973, Cleveland Music Hall. PJ wasn't until 2004!

    :) Very cool. Would have liked to have seen him during that stretch.
    Run for it, Marty.

    My first show was in 1995. It was the second of fan club shows at the Moore Theater in Seattle. I was 14yrs old and my dad drove me down. I got the tickets in the mail, lost my shit and then figured out how to get down there from Vancouver. I sat behind Alice In Chains and briefly saw Chris Cornell and Neil Young came on stage for the encore.It was insane and I have been hooked ever since. Great experience. And to think some guy offered me crack for my tickets. Glad I chose the show!

    MC Hammer in '91 :oops: My adolescent self had a great time though!

    It took a while before I visited a real concert after that: Pinkpop 2008 which was awesome with Foo Fighters, Metallica, Queens of the Stone Age, Rage Against The Machine, Incubus. My first Pearl Jam Concert was Rotterdam 2009.
