I'm sure there's a thread like this somewhere but I searched and couldn't see one so.....

Which songs can you claim you were there for the first performance of?

I saw the first Smile in London in 1996
The first and so far only Hitchhiker in Manchester in 2012
The first and only cover of Brain Damage in London in 2010.
All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.

    Ed did a little of this in Berkeley 2008 on the solo tour, if you're really craving it.


    I saw the 2nd ever Immortaltiy and 5th ever Tremor Christ ... which in 1994 before the internet explosion, was essentially the first time I ever would have had a chance to hear those songs.

    Pretty sure I saw the first of all of Backspacer in Seattle 2009.

    It looks like some Backspacer was played elsewhere first. But I should add Gonna See My Friend, Amongst the Waves, and Unthought Known to my list. If you put my two lists together you'll have the Backspacer songs you saw first.

    It was much crazier to see songs first before the internet. I remember seeing Corduroy in 1994 and wondering what the hell was going on. Eddie on guitar? And Crown of Thorns was obviously special because I never thought I'd see that in a million years. Still gives me chills to listen to that boot.

    (I got the 2nd Last Kiss. Lucky me!)

    That "WHAT THE HELL???" moment came for me during Not For You in April 94. Sure it debuted live a whole month previously, but I had no freakin' clue what was going on other than I felt quite tingly in all those special places.
