What was your first concert?
 

One of the answers in the favorite band thread gave me this idea. Whose concert was the first one you attended?

For me it was America.

I wanted to see the Beatles when they first came to the US but was in college in Charlottesville, VA at the time and couldn't make it...I did eventually see Paul solo, though..that was a show to remember..

Okay, this is embarrassing! Air Supply!! hehe...I think I was in junior high, and my cousin had tickets and invited me. It was at the Mann Music Center in Philly...

I think my taste in music has improved since then!

Carol

Hank Williams, Jr. with my parents when I was in middle school. :lol:

Metallica in 1996

My very first concert was The Osmonds when I was, I think, 11. :shocked:

My first rock concert was Dan Fogelberg, Linda Ronstadt and The Eagles. Hotel California tour. Fogelberg was great, Ronstadt was BORING, The Eagles were fabulous. Jackson Browne made an appearance during The Eagles encore. Ahhhhh, what a great time!

December 1971, The Fabulous Forum, Inglewood (LA) California:

Creedence Clearwater Revival (Tom Fogerty, John's brother, had quit the band and they were touring as a three-piece)
Tower Of Power (when they were a Chicago clone, not the funk band we know today)
Tony Joe White (of "Polk Salad Annie" fame)

my first concert was Styx in high school which is completely embarassing now...

then my next was Stevie - The Wild Heart Tour

and then my third was Billy Idol

and then was Stevie again on her second leg of the Wild Heart Tour

now we only do FM and Stevie tours since my hubby saw Paul McCartney at an MTV Unplugged concert. after that, He said his concert days were over since he had seen one of the fab four perform up close and personal... so he'll wait for the Beatles reunion concerts in the afterlife

First - Fleetwood Mac in Pittsburgh, PA on the first leg of the Say You Will tour.

Second - FM in Philly on the second leg of the SYW tour.

Third - Blondie in Cleveland, OH. Front row, too. :D

Paul McCartney on his stadium tour in 1994 ? at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Well lets see....ya know - I LOVE Dolly Parton - and was never sure where this love came from....but :

My mom was super pregnant with me...like late 8months in....and she went to a Dolly Parton concert...had floor seats. I was a twin so she was pretty damn huge....well Dolly at one point actually looked at my mom and said something to the effect of, "wow honey - you came all the way down those stairs in your condition to see me??" haha...so that is what I count as my technical first concert :rolleyes:

Now - that's just because my actual first concert....haha...was New Kids on the Block

KISS - December 7, 1977 - St. Louis. :thumbsup:

Stevie Nicks in 1991. :wavey:
