What Was Your First Concert?

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.

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.

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!
