Tony Orlando without Dawn. I was 10. I was dragged to the show. And it was awful. He french-kissed random women in the audience. I was all grossed out.
Most embarassing first concert / concert experience
C'mon Rhett…at least we're mentioning a band's name, not some cryptic statement like "it was a British artist"…

that doesn't mean "list your first concert" We've already done that lame thread before! :eek:

I can't really think of an embarassing concert though.
I was kind of embarassed to be at the HFStival a couple times though, especially the year Eminem was there.
Doesn't the fact that it was a British artist automatically make it an embarassment?
Alright then, it was Ozzy, with opening act Vandenberg (whose guitarist later went on to be the guitarist in Whitesnake).
Some night not even call that embarassing, but I do.
Still, it pales in comparsion to my wife's first concert.

U2 - Croke Park - 1987
Hmmm.. technically my first concert experience was at the Grand Old Opry. Little Jimmy Dickens and Bill Monroe were there. In fact, I got to shake Bill Monroe's hand at the local Shoneys afterwards. I've never seen my dad so in awe of someone.
But my first concert of my own free will was Bryan Adams and Mr. Big. 1992 I guess. That's embarassing.

my first show was a Lynryd Skynrd cover band. You can't get more embarrassing than that.
Oh wait, you can… my sister's first show was Air Supply. :D

Wow, that is so fucking cool! And you know I mean that sincerely.

My very first concert isn't as embarrassing as it is lame:
12/10/78 WPGC Toys for Tots Concert at the Capital Centre (Dr. Hook, Firefall, Pablo Cruise, Atlanta Rhythm Section)
I guess it is pretty embarassing to admit I used to listen to WPGC.
Some would consider my second concert more embarassing, but I don't:
7/7/79 - KISS at the Capital Centre - The Dynasty tour. They still had their make-up, but were a total mess.

i don't think my first concert even holds a candle to the teenage mutant ninja turtles but…my parent's dragged me to a willie nelson concert when i was 5 or 6. he played at the york fair in pennsylvania…i slept through the whole show but my parents woke me up for "mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys".
I am going to sound like a pretentious music geek when I tell you that my first concert was the Pixies, December 1990. Funny thing is that back then in my high school, it was so dreadfully uncool to listen to anything other than rap (Ice-T, NWA) or metal (Metallica, Megadeth). Everyone made fun of me for liking bands with names like the Pixies (which they fondly re-named the Fairies) and the Stone Roses. I didn't give a damn…for being a geek, I was still pretty fucking cool. :)
nothing wrong with admitting that you used to listen to WPGC… that makes you part of an elite community of peeps that actually grew up here.
