1994- Tallahassee Leon County Civic Center
I was hooked after this. there was even a purple horse wandering around outside the arena.
From South Alabama.... about an 1 hour from Tallahassee. remember the Cow Haus? I saw a lot of shows there too over the years. Saw Fugazi at the Moon. we probably were in a lot of the same crowds!!Very cool! Oh yeah, I definitely remember the Cow Haus and the Moon. I saw tons of concerts at both places. I don't think I saw Fugazi though.The Cow Haus actually used to be in a smaller location (about a block or two away from where the building is now) and I saw Jerry Cantrell there. Killer show. I bet we were at some of the same shows. Crazy.I moved away from Tallahassee about a year ago but still have friends and family there, so I go back frequently. Whenever there is a good show on the weekend, I try to make it back. Tallahassee doesn't get the quality of shows that it used to though, even though there is now two amphitheaters there.
wow. 2 amphitheaters? that's insane. The Cow Haus I used to go to looked liked an old black Haunted House. My friends in Verbena used to play there. Saw Pavement, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Queens of the Stone Age and Neutral Milk Hotel there back in the late 90s/early 00s. My friend went to FSU. I didn't even know it still existed. I moved to NC back in 2001.EDIT: I used to go shopping at Vinyl Fever too. they had a great selection for about $12 for a new record.
my, my how times have changed.
Yeah,, I think you used to go to the original Cow Haus. They moved a couple of blocks over to a bigger unit, but it didn't have the same feel to it. It changed ownership and switched names a few of times. I think it's a restaurant or something like that now.Vinyl Fever - how do I miss that place.www.RLMcDaniel.com

First show was AC/DC on their Razors Edge tour with LA Guns opening.
This was my first concert experience so waiting in the lobby of MSG for them to open I got to see the crazy AC/DC fans. One person in particular was waltzing around with a freshly buzzed AC/DC in his hair just like the album cover. I thought that was a little extreme but committed none the less. That very same person would later on start a chant of ANGUS with the crowd preceding YOUNG!!!
My first show with a crazy fan base...
Great show. Still the loudest show I've been to between the damn bell and the cannon and not to mention I couldn't comprehend the opener, Thunderstruck, because it was so damn loud...0 -
PJ_Soul said:Pink Floyd, 1994, for the Division Bell tour.
I was old for my first concert - I was in grade 12.
I say “technically” because I did see Ricky Skaggs with my parents when I was about 4 years old. And I do remember begging them to take me but I have no recollection of the show at all so I don’t really count it as “my first show.”
I was also conceived after a Paul McCartney & Wings concert. Kinda funny that live music is what brought me into this world, lol.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250 -

I was a Brian Wilson FANATIC, and when Mike Love stepped up to the mic and greeted the audience with, "We're sorry to say Brian Wilson will not be performing with us tonight but instead we have Bruce Johnston filling in for him" (like we were supposed to think this was an added treat), my heart sank like a stone. This was one of the earlier shows where Wilson stayed home to write music while the others went out and toured. It was devastating. It was a good show but the highlight turned out to be Mitch Ryder and his band. What a powerful, rocking band!Actually, I saw live was The New Christie Minstrels in 1959 at an event my Pop took me to for the unveiling this first commercial DC-8 jet airliner, but they were a part of the event we hadn't known about or planned on, so I don't consider it my first regular concert, but Barry McGuire (who later recorded "Eve of Destruction") was awesome .Black and white.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
