First Concert? - GoFuckYourself.com

DivaShane · 12-28-2007, 01:28 PM

Some one brought up their first concert in another thread and that made me wonder... what was every one's first concert?
The first concert I went to was Kansas. There was a Def Leppard concert I wanted to go to that went through a year before the Kansas concert but my mom refused to let me go see them.

Brother Bilo · 12-28-2007, 01:29 PM

Oh man, my first concert sucked. It was Bush, No Doubt and the Goo Goo Dolls. Suprinsingly enough, the Goo Goo Dolls actually kicked ass. I had no idea, but I guess they were a metal band back in the day and figured they would make more money if they starting singing songs for broads and pussys.

But overall, very dissapointing first concert.

GatorB · 12-28-2007, 01:30 PM

I'm 39 and I have never been to a concert and have no desire to go to one.

D Ghost · 12-28-2007, 01:31 PM

The Cure, Interpol, The Rapture

BTW GatorB is awesome. Thank You.

Bryan G · 12-28-2007, 01:35 PM

When I was 13, The Rolling Stones at the Skydome.
We had 3rd row seats, that was quite cool

garce · 12-28-2007, 01:37 PM

Kiss. Varsity Stadium, Toronto. Sept. 6, 1976. I was 13, as well.

Damn, I'm old

baddog · 12-28-2007, 05:18 PM

Head Over Heels, Grass Roots, Steppenwolf were the lead acts for Three Dog Night. Cost for a ticket was about $3 including the Ticketmaster surcharge.

Anna_O · 12-28-2007, 05:26 PM

Megadeth in the early nineties... Good show

MOxxx · 12-28-2007, 05:29 PM

Mine was Joe Cocker...

Slick · 12-28-2007, 05:36 PM

My first concert was Poison (Look What The Cat Dragged In tour) and Ratt (Dancing Undercover tour), it was a great show.

tony286 · 12-28-2007, 05:42 PM

warrant cherry pie at the limelight

JohnnyJames · 12-28-2007, 08:45 PM

Motley Crue, with Autograph opening.

Shortly after, Def Leppard, with Tesla opening.

and later, I attended 70 or so concerts in one year as part of my business at the time. A few names I saw, and generally partied with:

Cheap Trick
Sammy Hagar
Skid Row
Poison
Van Halen
Queensryche
Bad Company
Boston
Iron Butterfly
Moody Blues
Whitesnake
Warrant
Reo Speedwagon
Jethro Tull
Metallica
Rush
Ozzy
Pearl Jam
Bryan Adams (wtf? No idea)
Dokken
Scorpions
LA Guns
Kenny Wayne Shepard
ZZ Top

and a bunch more.

Wasn't as fun as it sounds. Mostly nice people, and mostly boring as piss.

But I was there and have the photos to prove most of it.

Usually, they are regular guys making their livings with music, and people think it is the DREAM job.

Just like when people think PORN is the dream job.

Go figure.

I went to a KISS show when I was 16 or so.. in '97 and a couple other times since, been to around 60 other big name shows since. No one can top them live.

Slick · 12-28-2007, 10:24 PM

I know one concert that I can't wait to see, Bon Jovi and Chris Daughtry in Anaheim in April. One of our friends and his wife have a meeting down in San Diego, so they asked us to join them, so when I saw the concert listed, I couldn't miss out on that.

buzzy · 12-28-2007, 10:57 PM

Brownsville Station back in 1977 in Winter Haven, Fla. My mom took me and my best friend cause we were just teenagers. And of course back in those days there was no "seating" everyone just stood on the concert floor. And me and my buddy both got caught by my mom hitting a joint that was passed around.
Good times...

She had some guy with accordion and he was fucking awesome. They made it more electronic than it is and it was insane.
