    Iron Maiden at the Lakeland Civic Center, 2/16/1985. Powerslave tour. Great f*cking show. Cost $13 IIRC.

    First Pearl Jam show was at the Salem Armory, January of 1992, opening for Nirvana/Chili Peppers: Had never heard of them, played a 20 minute set that blew me away (including a pre-VS version of "Leash"). Bought "Ten" the next day. Still have the tickets somewhere...best show I've been to, hands-down. Nirvana was unreal that night, as were the Peppers.

    First "real" PJ show was May the same year at the Roseland in PDX.

    Awwwww yeah, that's some classic rock right there my friend. Did the BOC drummer wear the Godzilla mask for the drum solo?

    Ironically, I believe the same lineup is playing the Emerald Queen Casino next week :)

    With family: Liberace @ Garden State Arts Center

    On my own: Roumdup 1982 w/(opener to headline) Huey Lewis & the News, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Loverboy, The Kinks, and Foreigner @ JFK in Philly. The Kinks should have been the headliner. Loverboy surprised with 'Take Me to the Top'.

    Sonic Youth - The Forum, Melbourne, 1998 (I believe).

    Biggest lesson learnt: don't go to a concert with drunken stoner mates. They have no sense of time and are as irritating as fuck.
