My little sis first concert was the Monkeys, that my dad dragged me along, so we could take her fellow 11 year old twin girl freinds... (i never heard so much friggin screaming since I watched Hard Days Night first come out in the theatres)

Several Species. Floyd cover band. Very good.

LOL Mc Hammer was my very first concert. I wasn't more than 12.

The Rolling Stones

the who, in '76, just a couple years before keith moon died.

haven't seen a better one since.

tiddy- you are truly after my musical heart. beatles, monkeys....great early pop music. (but i bet the screaming WAS really loud.)

Now that I know you're a musician, 20, your handle finally makes sense to me. Now...*why* do you need a 20 cents shift in your tuning? Playing some nasty old blues, or are you backing a bunch of pennywhistle players (which is what I do a lot)? :lol:

Cream - Goodbye Tour, November 8, 1968. Fifteenth row, center, $5.50.
Show opener; "White Room". Don't remember much else (for obvious reasons . . .).

BLACK SABBATH - 08/05/1975 Convention Hall, Asbury Park, NJ
My sister was babysitting me, and she wanted to go to the show.
She got told "Fine, but you're taking the kid with you."
I was 4 fucking years old.
This might explain my facination with "Dolcett".
I gotta remember to thank her...

Wallflowers .. I was only like 14 and in love with jacob dylan ... first REAL concert was Iron Maiden about three years ago.

It's funny, now that I think on it...I've been to about a half dozen concerts in the last couple of years, and they're the same damn bands from 1988.

I don't think I have ever been to a "new" band's show. I must have been, but I can't recall any (well, Porcupine Tree. But they're not really new, just new to the big scene).

Throughout my late teens and early twenties, I was traveling and didn't have any opportunities to go to concerts (I don't think anyone was interested in booking a concert in Saudi Arabia :eek: ).

After settling back in the states, the first commercial concert I ever attended was Ozzie Ozborne with Survivor opening. Ozzie had a great show although I kept waiting for him to bite the head off of something. Alas, he never did.

Stormie

New York Rock and Roll Ensemble, at Temple University Music Festival. It was a couple years later that I saw Pink Floyd do the Meddle tour at the Tower Theater.

yes wow maybe only assies and kiwis may know this one but Wendy Mathews It was a free concert in Kings Park about the only type of concert I can afford. Although did by tickets for Violent Femms but of cause they cancelled about two weeks before the event so that was a non-event but in Kalgoorlie that is what you get more often then not.

1st "non-concert" waiting to get my ceremonial sweet 16 3.2 beer...at a disco:eek: A group called Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul were playing (yes at a Disco). What I remember of Stevie something who; helped himself to chairs at our table was that he was short, sweaty, sweaty and those purple silk shirts did nothing for him. Years later I found myself doing the slap forhead movement to find out that it WAS Stevie Ray Vaughn who came to the table to sit and chat with the "young girls". :rolleyes:

1st "real" concert. Girls School, Iron Maiden, and the Scorpions (1st ever US tour stop) at the Cleveland Colliseum. Klaus Mein kicks immortal rock butt.

I also saw the Temptations and was the "my girl" picked out the audience for a performance at Tangiers restaurant in Ohio...man I need to get home. :sniff:
