Do I win for worst first concert?

You win the booby prize for worst first concert:

I'm pretty sure I do. It was supposed to have been Hall & Oats but the baby sitter cancelled at the last second and my parents made me (the 8 year old) babysit my younger sister. I would have loved that claim to fame!

My first, however, was a few years later when I was 12. 

Milli Vanilli and I loved every second of that show!! It was my first... how was I supposed to know they were lip synching?

They were lip syncing to lip syncing. How very Derrida.

This made me go listen to Milli Vanilli's hits.... I still like them, lol.

I have all their albums on vinyl.

I had tickets to see them when I was like 11 years old. They cancelled the tour because they were about to get exposed as fakes.

I usually tell people Tragically Hip, but really it was Snow.  Like the guy that sang Informer and Lady with the Red Dress. Back in the early 90's in Edmonton.

Hip was #2 though, and AC/DC #3.

That is so cool. I wish I had a tour shirt. I remember that Young MC was supposed to be the opening act.

I was so disappointed when we called TicketLink and they told my mom that the show was cancelled.

The reason they gave was.... "Milli Vanillii went back to Germany"?   like WTF?  found out a few months later that they we imposters.  they were my faves over Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul and Tone' Loc and Fine Young Cannibals.

LOL.  Had you fooled, eh? 

Well, look at it this way- they're shows are sort of famous... or infamous that way!

There are plenty of boobies in that bunch.  Have one, lol!

Aww... big time bummer! I was looking for my t-shirt to post a picture but for some reason that thing isn't readily available! I'll make sure to send you a pic of my Rob and Fab shirt once it's located brianlux said:

I will gladly accept one of the boobie prizes. Thank you Brian!

Just as a side.. isn't it sort of interesting how their music has been banished?! I understand why but really kind of weird to think about.  Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe they ever play their songs on the radio anymore.  A "Grammy award winning" artist with several greatest hits that people in the next generation have no clue existed. Just had me thinking about how strange it was today. Do they still play them anywhere? Maybe Germany? Not where I live/have lived.

A festival, Milton Keynes Bowl. I was 15 and wanted to see U2, but I really did see The Alarm and Billy Bragg. Oh, and Fun Boy Three. They were fab. Was on the same trip to London.

Grateful Dead. I was 15. Bought my first guitar about a week later.

Wow, now that's going into the thick of things right off the bat.  Cool!

GB281198

Charlie Daniels Band and Alabama at the Hampton Coliseum I think 84. Went with my mom would have been 9 or 10. You could smoke indoors back then and my mom made a woman put it out I've never forgotten that.
