What was your first concert?

[Serrart]

It was Francesco De Gregori (our best singer-songwriter) concert when I was 7 or 8.

The first non-Italian artists I've seen live have been Simple Minds in 1986. Great show!

I thought it was '92, but I couldn't really remember. I know the May 31 part was right, because that's my ex's birthday and he really didn't want to go to this concert for his birthday. I begged and pleaded and he finally agreed.

I was older than 10.

Bon Jovi in 1988 in Mountain View, CA. And I was so cool cause I wore my new Bon Jovi t-shirt to school the next day.

Lollapalooza in...'92? 93?94?95? With P-funk, Smashing Pumpkins, and Beastie Boys (among others...) At shoreline. It was funny cause smashing pumpkins were last, and were supposed to be the "headliner" But Beasties went before them, and of course there was massive Beastie love, and then when Smashing Pumpkins came out and got less love, they were all pouty and sullen... "Pumpks your just jealous it's the BEAS TIE BOYS!!!!"

McCartney played only a few US shows, But mainly small theatre's such as his return to the Ed Sullivan theater. In 1993 he played shows in large sports stadiums such as Giants Stadium in NY & Arrowhead in KC. The Arrowhead show was professionally recorded because several tracks from that show appear on the "Paul Is Live" release: "Drive My Car", "Looking For Changes", "C'Mon People" & of course "Kansas City".

Btw, I have been reading that he may be gearing up for a new US tour either this winter or spring...Can't wait!

the setlist he played on the 2004 European shows, Can we say "HOLY S**T!"??? He has added even more Beatles tunes that havent been played since the Beatles recorded 'em for the albums "all those years ago'...

Sir Paul's first ever Oklahoma show (Wings never player here before nor did the Beatles) was the first show I attended at the Ford Center...And I sat in awe of the whole experience, The arena, The show, The songs and the audience reaction was a memory I will forever cherish.

First show ever: Whitesnake & Great White in 1988 at the old Buffalo Memorial Auditorium - WITH MY DAD! I wanted to go for my 13th birthday, so he took me with my little bro.

First concert without parents: Metallica & Queensryche 1989, also at the Aud. Good times...

That was definitely "the thing" back in high school, wasn't it?

tell me about it...I had to explain to fellow students how the shows I attended went, how the bands sounded, etc. just cause I wore my new concert T-shirt the following day.

Only time that did not happen was after seeing Iron Maiden in Tulsa, OK in Jan.1987 because after sitting front row (Against the barricades) near a 160,000 watt (!!!) indoor sound system I could not hear a single syllable said to me that next morning.

Still one of the best metal shows I have ever seen.

I think my taste in music has improved since then!

I'm right there with you, Violet! This is embarrassing too. Whitesnake and Kixx was my first concert, back in 1990, at Municipal Auditorium (now redone and called the Gaylord) in Nashville. I guess that is what high school and hormones does to your mind.

My first concert was Sting's The Soul Cages tour. I was in elementary school. It was funny because he performed "Murder by Numbers" and yelled "F*** you Jimmy Swaggart!!!" before he sang it since Swaggart had mistakenly interpreted it as a song encouraging people to commit murder. My Mom wasn't happy that I got to hear that, but I didn't even know what was going on. I was upset because some woman spilled her beer on me. And when I went to school the next day, the concert t-shirt didn't do much for me, since my classmates had no earthly idea who Sting was; they were all crazy about New Kids on the Block.
