Emerson , Lake and Palmer 1971 New Haven CT
I had too much to drink and vomited right where I was sitting.
I do not remember much.
My second show was Ted Nugent In Sprigfield, MA
The crazy man wore a lion cloth and shot a flaming arrow across the arena.

    The Monkees, featuring "Weird Al" Yankovic, Louisville Gardens, 1987. I was eleven. "Weird Al" is officially the first live artist I ever saw perform, and I think that's fantastic. I saw one other show with my dad as a kid--a multi-act "History of Rock'n'Roll" show with a bunch of ex-members of name bands, plus Tiny Tim on ukulele and Otis Day & the Knights (the party band from "Animal House").

    First show as a semi-adult (when I was 18): Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge, RCA Dome, Indianapolis, 1994. Counting Crows opened. It was a few weeks before the start of my sophomore year in college, and I was off and running. Been to hundreds of shows since.

    June, 1987...I saw the Beastie Boys open for Run D.M.C. at the Greek here in Los Angeles. Fantastic show, 2 days after high school graduation. Something I will never forget.
    Seen the Best Rock Band on the Planet a few times here and there.

    Whitesnake with opening act Great White in Manchester, NH in 1988
    14 years old and one of the first times I ever got drunk -- went with my older brother and all of his friends. It was actually a pretty cool show.

    Blur at the Mile End Stadium in 1995. Then Reading Festival later that year - Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Neil Young (with PJ as his backing band), Green Day, Hole, Beck, Mudhoney, Blind Melon - almost too much awesomeness for my 13 year old mind!

    Guns N' Roses, June 28th, 2006, in Oslo (Spektrum). At the age of 18, was pretty old for a first gig, but whatever. If I remember correctly, they opened with Jungle, It's So Easy and Brownstone, a real sucker punch and the pit was stirring. Great fun. Nightrain was amazing this night.

    The good old days. What a foursome for 10 bucks. I saw U2 for 6 bucks in 1981.
    How was Frank Marino back then ? I hear he is unbelievable now.
