What Was Your First Concert?

[Mrs. Strutt]

I was reminiscing with some clients today and we got to talking about our very first concerts. I thought it would be fun to take a walk down memory lane and provoke a bit of nostalgia here on BFP. So what was your first concert?

Mine: Journey's 1979 Evolution Tour. I was 16 years old and thought I had died and gone to heaven. It is still on my top three list of best concerts ever attended.

[Selenay]

The first one (that changed my life; I don't count the ones that don't *s) was Sweet Honey in the Rock.

It was the day of Earth Hour (one hour of darkness for global warming) and to honor that, without having to change their concert set, they did a full song in complete darkness, except for their sign language interpreter who was lit in a single spotlight.

It was truly one of the most moving experiences of my entire life.

[turasultana]

#1 Black Sabbath with Ted Nugent opening at Madison Square Garden.
So the first thing i ever heard at a concert was Ted Nugent yelling - "If you motherfuckers want to be fucking mellow, get the fuck out of here!"

#2 was Patti Smith (horses tour) with papa john creach opening on fiddle.

(both 1976 i believe)

[RockOn]

Not entirely sure ... there may have been a couple before then but I attended an Alice Cooper concert. Thinking around 1972 ...


turasultana, I envy you! Black Sabbath would have done it for me in a big way. I have all their CDs from back in the 70s and still love listening to them. All their vinyls were too scratched to salvage.

[Soft*Silver]

James Taylor 1973

[Cowboi]

Creedance Clearwater Revival. My cousin took me when I was still in high school. 1971 or 72.

[chefhmboyrd]

sean cassidy 1978

i was not allowed to go to rock shows until i was in college

i saw heart and cougar in evansville in 82
that rocked

[dixie]

I went to all kinds of country/gospel concerts with my family when I was growing up, but I didn't consider those to count. It only counted when I went to my first concert on my own...lol ;)


Summer Sanitarium Tour 2000
System of a Down
Powerman 5000
Korn
Kid Rock
Metallica

It was a hot as hades day standing in the infield of the Rockingham Speedway all morning/afternoon/night watching this awesome bunch of musicians. Got there at 5am and left the following 3am. I slammed and got slammed in the mosh pits. I almost got struck by lightning while standing atop the giant METALLICA tower. I was bashed in the head by empty AND full beer bottles. I passed out from the heat. I had folks pouring $6 bottles of water over my head to bring me back to consciousness. I fought my way off an EMS stretcher to get back to my place by the stage. I was front and center against the rail for most of the acts, and got to actually talk to most of the bands. (Kid Rock was the only asshole that day...) I was soaked to the bone, first with sweat then with blood then with rain. It was the most fun I've had in my life...LOL

[Jet]

Bette Midler, 1974

[Canela]

Stevie Ray Vaughn...spring break...out on the island....I was 16 and never the same again...lol...

[Jesse]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Jacksonville, FL in the early 70's

[Softly]

Tori Amos (W/Alanis) Sept 11, 1999 Chicago/Tinley Park, IL
I was 18

I still like to believe she sang Blood Roses because I asked her to.

[Rockinonahigh]

Elvis Presly at the Louisiana hayride,he was so young and new then and had a spot in the show,I think it was about 1964 ot 65.

[Cowboi]

Stevie Ray Vaughn...spring break...out on the island....I was 16 and never the same again...lol...


Stevie Ray Vaughn was the BEST concert I have ever seen to this day!!!!

[Miss Scarlett]

The Osmond Brothers in the summer of 1971 (the summer between 6th & 7th grades). They were also my second concert the following summer and I think that was the same summer I saw David Cassidy.

[Sam]

the grateful dead, early 80's
an experience i still talk about today

[Mitmo01]

It was Rush......Omaha 1988 lmfao it was interesting....

[Gayla]

The first official one? I think it was probably a Willie Nelson picnic in the 70's.

The first one I will claim was Black Sabbath. :)

[miss entycing]

the Summer Strut- Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Foreigner and Loverboy...
it was at Anaheim stadium- and I was 14 if I remember correctly? :blink:

[Mitmo01]

My next concert was Sting...Nothing Like the Sun tour and it was much better...

[always2late]

I think my first concert was Santana at Jones Beach.....or maybe it was Genesis at Madison Square Garden.

[Daktari]

Genesis, 1979, Blackpool ABC


...although the next gig I went to had a far bigger impact, Adam and the Ants, somewhere in Cheshire (I can't remember exactly where). My brother's then girlfriend and I went together and we managed to chat-up the security guard in the 'under 4ft pen' (for the real little kids) and got an unobstructed view totally uncrushed by teenyboppers who were screaming for the band.

[Mindy]

I never got to go to concerts as a teenager. My mom said "people smoke pot there, you might accidentally get high" LMFAO.. So, I didn't get to go until my mid 20's. It was Bush, No Doubt, and Goo Goo Dolls their first tour. There was a big riot and we got caught up in it, had a lot of fun. We got home, it was all over the news that night and I had a TON of calls on my answering machine from people wanting me to call them back to assure them I wasn't hurt.

Since then I've been to see several other bands. Most concerts I've been back stage and have autographs from the bands.

[Andrew, Jr.]

The Commodores
Gloria Estafan & The Sound Machine
Bruce Springsteen
Johnny Mathas

These are the ones that come to mind. I have no idea of which came first or second.

[Scorp]

[Enchantress]

I won tickets to see Rick Springfield, presented by Bill Graham at the Concord Pavilion. I still have the ticket stubs, envelope they came in and my (extra large and glossy) concert book!! I believe I was 11 or 12 at the time!

[MsDemeanor]

Procol Harum. The warmup was some up and coming group named the Eagles.

It was held at the Kennedy Center in DC, and my mom took me ("that odd smell is pot, dear"). This is the mom that also used to let me listen to her Black Sabbath albums. Cool mom.

[AtLast]

Chicago at the Fillmore in SF.... many, many, moons ago.

[Alpha Dog]

Where: San Francisco

[Delish]

The Beastie Boys 1986

[Deborah]

The Monkees 1965....afterwards I got to meet Davy and Micky. I was 12 thought I was the coolest person ever!

[julieisafemme]

AC/DC Back in Black tour 1980 i think. How or why my parents let me go alone with just another 14 year old is a mystery. The women's bathrooms were scary. It was a great concert though. Hell Bells really rocked the house complete with dry ice smoke. Very cool.

[dark_crystal]

1987: U2 The Joshua Tree at what is now Lakewood Church

[BestButchBoy]

For my 21st birthday, my first (real) girlfriend took me to a Doobie Brothers concert as a gift because I loved this song:

2VZ5DfCY6kY

[apretty]

the replacements (i was 16)

[Isadora]

April 1966
Sonny and Cher

I was a baby. We followed them to their hotel, climbed up to their balcony where Cher was horrified we would fall.

She invited us in...talked to us for an hour, asked how we were getting home and we said "hitchhiking". It was 2 am. I was 13. She said, "Oh no." She gave us 20 bucks for a cab. :D

I love Cher.

[SnackTime]

Keith Sweat in 1988 or 1989

[Strappie]

Journey, with Steve Perry!! Omg it was amazing!! Still has been one of my top 3 concerts!

[Strappie]

1972 ~ The Carpenters



I would have loved to have seen them!!

[theoddz]

In 1972, I was 11 years old and went to my first concert, which was Bread.

I remember the smell of reefer permeating the air, because that's what people did back then when they went to a concert. I, however, never smoked reefer, then or any other time. :|

I am still an innocent. :eyebat:

~Theo~ :bouquet:

[Corkey]

i still own my dead bag and still use it just to whif the pachouli

[Gemme]

It was MC Hammer. :blink:

I've also seen Tiffany and *Nsync.

I went to a rap fest once. I couldn't hear right for two days because, as the day had progressed, I'd made my way closer and closer to the ginormous speakers. Hearing aid makers everywhere began rubbing their hands gleefully, I just know it.

My bestie dragged me to a lot of country concerts. Not many stand out in my mind, unfortunately.

We also went to a lot of concerts at Silver Springs, where a lot of has-beens and never was'es but coulda beens and some almost theres perform. Again, not particularly memorable.

I bought tickets to go see Kelly Clarkson, but had to cancel at the last moment. That really bummed me out. Love her.

[Semantics]

Joan Jett.


My second concert was Neil Young and Neil was a grouch. People in the audience started clapping during a song and he stopped and yelled "If I wanted clapping I would have written the fucking song with clapping in it" and spit all over himself.

I guess it's hard to be an artist sometimes when people mess up your songs with clapping and shit. :|

[Scorp]

Wow, what a prick :blink:

[cane]

Bob Dylan, in the midst 90's I think, in Stockholm. Big hat, sun glasses, he was very in cognito, actually but for the voice it could have been anyone standing on that stage. But still, he's Bob Dylan.

[dark_crystal]

1987: U2 The Joshua Tree at what is now Lakewood Church

oh wait...my parents took me to the rodeo when i was like 8 or 9 to see Donnie and Marie lol

Best concert i ever saw? Severed Heads at Numbers in 1990, opening act MC 900 Foot Jesus.

[UofMfan]

Styx, Hollywood Sportatorium, late 70's.

[Oneida]

I'm a little fuzzy on this because my Uncles took me to lots of weird concerts and shows in the late 70's. I think my first "marquis" concert would have been Neil Diamond, though I think Cheap Trick at ChicagoFest came first. Awful this getting old thing...

[Glenn]

I was 6. I had to play Christmas songs on the organ in a window in downtown Chicago. I had to wear a taffeta dress and pettcoat with patent leather shoes and lace socks. :confused:

[Rook]

I'm a little hazy on which I saw first...But, concert by the Definition of paying a big-ass amt for Ticket to hear at least 1 hr worth?

Phil Collins
&
Madonna {The Girlie Show}

For both, the Lines were ATROCIOUS{mildly put} thankfully I didn't have to wait past 4 hours in the Scorching tropical sun {the benefit of buying expensive-type tickets} :seeingstars:

[Mitmo01]

Now one of the best concerts ever in my life was Erykah Badu and Musiq in Kansas City in i believe 2002 i was front row and less than a couple of feet from her.

Not only was she a phenonmenal entertainer but that concert and her voice were just so amazing that it still resonates with me and I would not hesitate to see her anywhere, anytime....

[Corkey]

Gloria Estefan at the Greek

[ravfem]

my first was .38 Special opening for Eddie Money. my best friend and i were in love with Eddie, i had never heard of .38 Special and resented having to sit through them before i could see 'my man'. (came away from the concert loving them and thinking Eddie was just ok) We were 14. i was soooo impressed that people were passing joints around to strangers!

Other ones:

-Heart & Kansas

-MC Hammer & a bunch of other groups (Michel'le is the only other one i remember in that line-up)

-Janet Jackson, Velvet Rope tour

[JinxdGirl]

Sister Machine Gun w/ Hanzel und Gretyl

[little man]

i believe it was some time in 1976. it was the kiss destroyer tour. bob seeger was the opening act. pyrotechnics, joints passed up and down the line, and seeger's hair was down to his ass. good times.

[JustJo]

I lived in a tiny apartment directly across the street from Devonshire Downs in the San Fernando Valley from 1968 to 1977. What concert didn't I hear or sneak into?

My first memory of a concert was a 3 day festival in 1969. I was 7, so I wasn't there...but for 3 days all I could hear was Joe Cocker, Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, CCR, Steppenwolf...quite a lullaby. :)

[Sachita]

[Katniss]

As a teen of the 80's I think I spent all my babysitting money on concert tickets. My very first concert was The Police and their "Synchronicity" tour.

OMOGaugKpzs


I saw most of the "big hair" bands (Poison, Duran Duran, Culture Club, etc.) but also Genesis with Phil Collins and several country bands (Oak Ridge Boys, Alabama, etc.) The best concert for "overall" experience was Billy Idol and Joan Jett but that had a lot to do with my date as well. :sunglass:

Smiling as I write this because nowadays my tastes run more towards classical (Yo Yo Ma, Chris Botti, etc.) as well as all female artists like Indigo Girls (can't count how many times I have seen them,) k.d. Lang, and Melissa Etheridge. Going to see Shawn Colvin next Friday.

Great thread and I am enjoying reading all the responses!


Katniss~~

[diamondrose]

Santana and BB King at the Kinetic Playground in Chicago -1969. I remember the concert hall was circular and had huge screens full of floating, fantastic, colors, with strobe lights everywhere pulsating in time with the music all around the room. I was sooo high. ;)

[Princess]

My very first concert was 'Nsync. Jordan Knight was headlining and I was 16. My best friend Kim, had just turned 14 and that was her mother's gift to us. I remember it being everything I had hoped it would be. I also remember grabbing Kim's hand and crying while we sang God must have spent a little more time on you.

Oh to be a teenager again.

OH AND! There is a rumor they are reuniting. I am fangirling all over the place <3

I'm the Divine Miss Eeeeeeemmmmmm and I've come to shake my t*ts! And the whole house fell apart. To do this day it was the best concert I've ever seen besides Frank Sinatra.
