Crosby Stills Nash Young, Foreman Field, ODU, 1970 something.
YOUR FIRST CONCERT
When I was young, "concerts" consisted of beating on hollow trees with the thighbones of woolly mammoths. So the details of those bygone days are a bit hazy.
First rock/pop concert besides crappy local cover bands playing in the gym might have been the Barbarians in Provincetown MA in 1966.

Oh, god…the MEMORIES! <rolls eyes> My first concert was Little River Band. Fortunately my taste in music has improved dramatically.
First 9:30 show was Bob Mould acoustic in 96 I think. Best show at 9:30 for me was Prodigy where the entire place was hopping up and down for the entire night. I was totally sweat-drenched by the end but grinning ear to ear.

the next day, when a member of my father's congregation told him that they had seen me on the big screen with a naked woman on my shoulders was slightly less good, but very funny in retrospect.

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

Originally posted by Bud Erdbuns:I don't know, but that is a funny, funny story. It makes me think of the time when I was in the 11th grade, when I went to see the Mighty Mighty Bosstones at the Peppermint Beach Club in Virginia Beach (I think around '93). My mom (who is this tiny, old school Japanese value lady) walks in asking all of the bouncers and bartenders if they have seen a little "oriental girl." She came to pick me up, and being in high school, that is mortifying. Funny in retrospect, though.

Walter Sobchak: What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, dude. Across this line, you DO NOT… Also, dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
The Dude: Jeez, Walter, I'm not talking about the guys who built the fucking railroad here.
Depeche Mode. World Violation Tour. Merriweather. I was 9 years old.
First 930 Club show: Atari Teenage Riot - 1997?

Originally posted by O'Mankie:You are forgetting a very common Doodle numbskull practice which is very important and, in turn, negates the necessity of one stating their age in this matter.

SOCIAL PROMOTIONS!!!!
It's quite the latest rage all across this once great land of ours. :roll:
Elton John! I Remembering Getting A Large Soda And It Said Pearl Jam Was Playing A Show There Later That Month Or So, And I Told My Mom Elton John Was Lame And I Wanted To See Pearl Jam And She Said "I Think It Might Be A Bit Tougher Crowd"
Mom, You're Lame :-)
Mom, You're Lame :-)
I think Elton John woulda been the better show. Are Pearl Jam even still together?
My dad took me to my first concert. It was the Scorpions and Alice Cooper in an ampitheatre in CA. I remember being one of the youngest people there and not really knowing the music at the time, but by the end everyone around us getting a kick out of this kid up on the seat yelling at the stage.
