    I saw the Kinks at the old Boston Garden. During the song "catch me now I am falling" some dude jumps off the balcony about 20-25 feet

    It was a whole day concert in 95. I was 13.... On the bill was Weeping Tile, Big Sugar, Blue Rodeo and Great Big Sea. Great show. Pretty sure it was my first one anyway. Unless i count Fred Penner when I was like 5 lol

    My first was Meat Loaf at Exeter's Westpoint Arena in 1996. It was great as well.

    Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Frank Marino and Journey. Tickets $10.00
    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.


    He was amazing!!!! Nugent was loud as hell and Tyler...well he was high as hell

    My first concert was a small music festival near where we lived. My dad took me there, I think I was 11 years old. It was called "Woodstock" for some weird reason, but the bands that played were really lame and so was the crowd. :roll:
    My first REAL concert was probably either HIM or The 69 Eyes... or some other Finnish band that was big when I was a teenager. I also saw many local bands at clubs, but I can't remember any names. I've lost too many brain cells to remember. :lol:

    Huey Lewis and the News- Red Rocks, Colorado, 1986 I think. My dad took me.

    My dad took me to my first concert, December 9, 2008. It was The End's Deck the Hall Ball festival which had the bands;

    Aqueduct
    Shiny Toy Guns
    Cold War Kids
    Death Cab for Cutie
    The Killers

    At the time The Killers were my favorite band and they are actually my second favorite band today. It was a great first concert, Cold War Kids were amazing and The Killers well killed it (Sorry for the pun) DCFC were disappointing however.

    In grade school a friend's father took us to see Donny Osmond at DuQuoin State Fairgrounds (Illinois). For many years I believed it was me to whom he was throwing his purple beret, although I did not catch it. This was many decades ago when he was a teeny bopper.

    In high school a friend's older sister took us to see ELO and Journey at Murray State University (Kentucky). Loved that show. Also saw Boston at Southern Illinois University when I was in high school- another great show.

    But the highlight of my young concert going life was seeing Springsteen at SIU in '78 and '79 - almost a religious experience - like PJ now.

    Officially -- RAIN, a Beatles Tribute band in the early 80s. But that was with parental supervision.

    Few months later:

    OZZY OSBOURNE, 1982, after Randy had died, Oakland Arena with Brad Gillis of Night Ranger shredding. So yeah, it was basically the Speak of the Devil tour. Lots o sabbath.
