Your first concert...

[pbinpb57]

This topic has probably been beaten to death but...just curious...what was the first concert you ever went to, who played, when was it and where was it.
My first was Grand Funk, 1973 in the old Boston Gaadin. I think they opened with "Footstompin’ Music" :scratch2: I can't remember the opening act...way too much ganga

Tell us yours!

Peace

It was in 1991, Houston, TX. It was Young Black Teenagers (?)/Primus (Seas of Cheese era)/Public Enemey/Anthrax. This was my sophomore year fall semester of high school. In the coming months I saw Primus again with Fishbone, the Beastie Boys (Check Your Head), and a major show with Pearl Jam (Ten just came out, they were the opener), Smashing Pumpkins (Gish), and Chili Peppers (Blood Sugar). Plus there were a ton of smaller bands I saw like Mr. Bungle, Meat Puppets, and some cool local Houston acts.

Pretty sure my first concert was in 1976 in Louisville. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band opening for KISS, just before the Night Moves album was released.

besides the countless local dive club concerts, my first "national recording artist" concert was either 2000 or 2001

Mest, Movie Life, Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger

Mest/Movie Life opened, and sucked

Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger totally rocked! i was either 15 or 16 at the time.

Ah... my first rock concert... what memories! I still remember it like it was months ago... a bunch of us went down to The Gothic on my birthday. In September, 2008. Heard The Dandy Warhols. Had a great time. Almost got high from 2nd hand toking. :scratch2: Ears hurt for days... no more of that, too old

My first "concert" (non-rock) was... I think it was a light opera at the Tucson Convention Center. I don't actually remember which... saw so many... might have been Camelot or Man of La Mancha...
