First Concert

[Mischka]

I saw Skid Row open for Guns N' Roses for my next show. That was a good show too. I believe the count was incredible as far as Sebastian Bach saying "fuck" during the 45 minute set. Is he the one that keeps the fuck thread going?

My first concert was Skid Row opening for Aerosmith. I was a freshman in high school. My best friend and I had 9th row tickets.

I actually saw Steppenwolf in a shitty club in cleveland MS while in college. While there I got spoiled by local bands and small cubs and since then have only seen one arena show which was Rob Zombie and Korn.

My sophomore year of college I saw Korn in a small club. Life of Agony opened for them. Been a fan ever since.

I was thinking about this today, mostly because I need to get out and see a few shows. Anybody want to babysit?

Anyway, who was your first concert? Opening and main act. Does it rate as one of your favorites? Well then, which show has been your favorite up until now?

One last one, who would you like to see?

My first was Kiss..way back in the day..original members and makeup. Nothing like seeing Gene Simmons flying thru the air to God Of Thunder

Elvis Pressley........circa 197X and I cannot remember who opened up for Elvis the Pelvis. Sure it was one of the "Kings" last shows...so it was cool also getting to see him as a young boy.

Close call for favorite since then.........Pink Floyd or Monsters of Rock @ RFK in Washington DC.

Dream Theater LIVE.

My first concert ever was opened by Three Dog Night.
The main act was Grand Funk Railroad.

It was festival seating, everybody was stoned, and I saw other people having sex for the first time. There was a couple screwing on a blanket right beside my friends and me. We didn't know what to watch.... the concert, or the couple. LOL.

Good thread ...

My first gig was Queen ... Palace Theatre, Manchester, 1974 (sounds good, and was, but I hasten to add that I also saw David Essex and Leo Sayer that year too!... Yikes)

Best Concert? ... This alternates between Pink Floyd (Bingley Hall, Stafford, 1975 "Animals" Tour), Dylan (Earls Court or Blackbushe, 1978) and Springsteen (Wembley Stadium, 1985) ... all for very different reasons.

Like to see?... R.E.M. playing a small venue ... yeah, that'd do me!

God Gave Rock and Roll to You

heh... My first ever concert was a Christian rock band called Petra... Am I lame?

I remember Sally

And Sweet Comfort Band

And Larry Norman

My first concert was a band called Love Song...I still say wow...it was in the mountains near Big Bear...

My second wuz Chuck Girard in '77, and still wow

Chuck Girard, the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin have had the most impact on my life musically

I'm glad to see so much said about Pink Floyd...I've not been to one of their concerts, but still may yet...I recently saw a video of Roger Waters live in the Flesh in Portland, Oregon...I highly recommend it...az well as Pink Floyd, live at Pompeii

My other loved concerts are Jimmy Page in '88, and Michelle Shocked over the years...I love the way she shakes that ass...Watch this

I can't remember if it was the first, but I saw Dusty Springfield and Roy Orbison on the same bill. It might have had Bobby Vee too, or maybe that was a different night... I went to so many and still do.
Best ever- The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Marley, Rod Stewart in the week Maggie May came out, Prince (in Yellow)....
No...- they were all the best.
Worst gig was when I nearly got involved in disciplinary action for going to see the Lighthouse Family.
