    Took my son to see Dylan last year when he was 2 and he just saw the Black Keys this summer. He is looking forward to his first PJ show, October, in Buffalo.

    In the interest of clarity, it should be stated that you saw Van Hagar. It's not really Van Halen without Diamond Dave :nono: ;)

    Well, technically my first show was Bruce Cockburn at the local Tulip Festival when I was 12-13; my first real concert experience was B.B. King in '94, which was awesome. My first rock concert followed a few months later, Van Halen. I'm not a VH fan at all, but it was a good show.

    Amy Grant. I was 12, I saved for six months, and forwent my favorite horse show to go!! My Dad shoulda know right then, that music was going to be a major obsession with me!! Saddest part? The concert tickets cost twice as much as entry/ boxing / tag fees for two horses! If I remember right, the kitted fees were two hundred, tickets cost me four!! I ended up seeing her in concert 8 times before I told God to fuck off. ( I'm back to my beliefs again, but I'd had enough of church people I guess). Then I found PJ. Seen them 19..loli'd say I have the live music bug!!

    I saw Metallica open for Ozzy Osbourne back in the mid 80s. I was 10 or so. Can't remember the year but it was before Metallica blew up for sure. I wasn't really a fan but it was my first.

    I remember going to the"Ratt Poison" tour.its been long enough ,I can admit it. I think Warrant, Skid Row and Tesla all were touring at same time as well.All kinda foggy post High School stuff.
    Ratt still makes a regular showing at the gym on my IPod ."Lay it Down" still is a great song to lift to.
