The Moody Blues in october 1999. It was my freshman year in high school and I went with my dad and it was his first (and only....i've since seen them another time) time to see the moodies so it was a first for both of us.

My first was Hanson in 2000

. After that it's Fleetwood Mac twice. Here's to hoping for some U2 tickets next year!!!

Ha Ha! That was actually my second concert, in 1978 in B'ham. My first concert was Elvis Presley in 1976 in B'ham. I was 6 years old, I went with my parents, we had seats all the way in the top of the arena behind the stage, and I fell asleep.

I'm proud to say that my daughter's first concert was FM because she has a very COOL mom!

My first concert was Matchbox 20 in October of 1997, right as they started to get big. I was 15 and my best friend asked me at school if I wanted to go 'cause her older sister had extra tickets. I recall seeing Rob Thomas playing guitar at the end of the show and sticking a lit cigarette on the neck. That just really turned me off, since I loathe smoking. Despite that, I enjoyed the whole "concert atmosphere" and getting to hang out with cool people. I did learn a lesson though, always do your homework before the show! I wasn't familiar with any of their work, except for "Push."

Other bands I've seen and number of times:
Fleetwood Mac (7, 2003-04)
Heart (2, 2002, 2004)
John Fogerty (1, 2004)
Sheryl Crow (2, 1999, 2003)
Def Leppard (1, 2003)
John Mellencamp (2, 1999, 2002)
Green Day (1, 2001)
Tom Petty (1, 1999)
Matchbox 20 (1, 1997)

*I had tickets to see Stevie in 2001, but she cancelled...I'm still upset about that!*

My first concert was Ratt and Bon Jovi opened up for them. The only song Bon Jovi had released at that time was "She's a little runaway".
Talk about BIG hair.

I had very little say in this, but I saw Tim McGraw and some other band in Rayville back in '97. My mom took me with one of my friends for my birthday. We had made signs before the show on bright pink posterboard and held them up during the concert... and I think we made the paper the next day, but I never saw it.

My first *real* concert was the Mac in Dallas, 7/3/03... followed by Houston 10/6/03 and then Houston again 6/17/04... I really wanted to go to Bossier City in 8/03 because it's only two hours away from me, but it was a school night. I wish I'd gone.

My first real concert was on July 8,1988 at Centre 200 in Sydney, Nova Scotia. The headliner was Nazareth. Great show.

In 1977 my mom remarried. It lasted 3 months! At any rate, at an attempt to "win" me over.
The bastard got me a ticket to see... Andy Gibb!!! It was ridiculous. I'll never forget being at the concert with my mother,(I was 9 years old), and marveling in disbelief how all the other little teeny-boppers were like SCREAMING at the top of their lungs for like the WHOLE show! It was SO teen-idol out of control. I however, just sat there sedately, politely clapping after each song. It was hell. Andy Gibb was NOT my cup of tea. Neither were the BeeGees. I can as an adult and as a musician of sorts appreciate their songwriting and I must admit "How Deep Is Your Love" IS a beautiful song although the saccharin production still does get to me/get in the way a bit for me.
My concert "life" did not begin for me until a few years later, when I saw the Mac on The Mirage tour!!! Now THAT, was something!!!

Guns 'N' Roses, Milton Keynes, UK. 30th May 1993.

Awesome show as I remember it. Slash's family turned up for the gig and his playing was on fire that night, plus the band was at it's largest in members at that time.

Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, Dizzy Reed, Gilby Clarke (vocals only due to a broken hand), Izzy Stradlin (standing in for Gilby). Plus they had Mike Monroe onstage for Knockin' On Heavens Door and Ronnie Wood for Honky Tonk Women and Paradise City. The show lasted well over 3 hours.

That was the first time I saw Slash play live. Next time will be in January 2005 when VR hit the UK.

G&R, cool! I'll never forget "back in the day" I saw them live in a faily small venue, right before
they broke big (around 1987)... One of the best shows I 've seen EVER! The energy was truly, tangibly electric.
