Ha! Mine, too. My sister gave me a ticket for my 15th birthday.

First 9:30: Swimming Pool Q's sometime in the Fall of '84.

That's pretty funny. I don't know of anyone else that would even admit to going to this one, much less it being their first.

My first 9:30 show was around that same time. The Church in '84. Probably in the summer, when I was home from school.

Quiet Riot and Keel. Maybe 1986 or 1987. You can't name a greater tour in the history of rock than Quiet Riot and Keel. Both bands, on one stage. In an amusement park in northeastern Pennsylvania. Truly a spectacle. I don't know what happened Keel. But damn. You can't rock harder than Keel and Quiet Riot.

It's amazing how so many people's first concerts are utter crap! Taste is definitely something that is developed over time….

Ok, call me cheesy or whatever you want. I saw Queensryche and Suicidal Tendencies at the Norfolk Scope when I was in the eighth grade. I still to this day can rock out to "Operation Mindcrime" like there is no other band out there. It was awesome, and yes, I drooled over Geoff Tate.

That's not cheesy. I've seen Suicidal Tendencies and they kicked ass live.

Oh yeah, there is no doubt that Suicidal Tendencies kick ass. It's Queensryche that makes people look at me funny, like when my boyfriend makes me go to the store for him and buy 3 cases of Schlitz or Milwaukee's Best.

why is your boyfriend drinking Schitz and Beast? Is he trying to be cool, or is he a cheapskate?

First 9:30 Club (old) show was The Dickies Fall of 1985.

First 9:30 Club (new) show was Garbage Spring of 1996

You know what? He honestly loves those two beers. Those are his favorite. His friends come over and they are all beer snobs, "why don't you put that crap down and try a Stella…"
I am actually allergic to alcohol, so I don't even know how crappy they are.

Yeah, I guess that is a good way to put it. Coffee and cigarettes don't count do they?

I think on the straight-edge scale, alcohol is the ultimate sin, cigarettes and sex are somewhat lesser sins, and coffee is not a sin at all.

Foo Fighters. The free concert in Rockville Pike. I think it was 97 or 98; I was in eighth grade.
