What was your first concert?

[speedskills]

Recently a friend and I were talking about embarrasing moments and concerts come up. We both listen to hard rock most of the time. Embarrased he said, "Richard Marx". I said, "I can beat that, Boyz To Men". My wifes was New Kids on the Block. Seems to be a trend here. Anyone else?

JGeils 1st concert what a POT fest that was! :redface:

I was too cheap to pay for KISS and did not want to drive school mates in my 65 GTO who offered me a free ticket to drive them to RI to see them in 1976. I am kicking myself now about not doing it.

Steve Earl, approx 1985 in Kingston Ontario, great show.

It was either KISS or Rush at the Rosement in Chicago 1979. I don't remember which one was first but I remember Ace Frehley being so stoned he played half the show flat on his back (think of one of the early concert scenes in "This is Spinal Tap" and you get the idea)

Jefferson Starship, or was it just Starship, might have been Jefferson Airplane again. I think it was in 1989.

 

["Turbo-T"]

Hank Williams Jr, with Andy Griggs opening for him - at the Fayetteville NC coliseum back in August 1999.

Joe Jackson with The Undertones at the Great Arena in Great Adventure, 1979 or so.

I had a season pass for the theme park and the concert was free. Awesome high-energy show back then. Good times!
