I would imagine at a Dead show they could've put the Wiggles up on stage and the stoners wouldn't know any difference

2)Lemon Heads + Cracker

My very first concert was a WPGC "Toys For Tots" show at the Capital Centre 12/10/78. It featured Dr. Hook, Firefall, Pablo Cruise and The Atlanta Rhythm Section. Ugh.
My first _real_ concert, however, was 7/ 7/79 - The hottest band in the world…..KISS!!!
My SO loves playing this game. His first show was none other than Elvis Presley.
I was 14,band was Kiss right before Dressed to Kill came out although they were playing songs from it live.I got to take a bus to Johnstown War Memorial(glorified skating rink)for the show.Back when you could still smoke and drink on the bus, rather you were old enough or not was irrelevant.

Am I wrong? ;) [/QB]
first show ever was Stevie Wonder with the folks. first show I spent my allowance on and drove myself to was Ozzy on the Blizzard of Ozz tour at Merriweather Post pavilion. Def Leppard opened (High and Dry Tour).
Rick Springfield back in '83 at MPP. Yep, that's right. Laugh on. Hey, he was "cool" back in the day, to me anyway.
After that…U2 '87 at RFK.

eagles reunion tour when i was about 7
My 1st concert was Blondie at The Nation in May 1999.
August 31, 1996 â?? Oasis and Neil Young in a big field outside of Toronto. There was no turning back.
I'm feeling as if i am younger than everyone on here. actually i know since i wasn't even born for some of these first concerts. oh well. my first one was actually this year, i saw the faint, at the 9 30 club of course.
you probaly are younger then many of the old grouchy ppl here. how old are you?
Good time to enter this convo….Age…..it does matter, just like size. (meaning it can be good or bad.)
First show: U2 at The Paradise Theater in Boston in December of 1980. They opened for a metal band. Lennon had been killed a few days prior.
It set the benchmark; not many shows I've seen since then have been able to reach that intensity. Seeing a great band on their first tour, immediately after one of their idols had died. The crowd was….sick. In a good way. By the time the headliner came on, everyone knew they had witnessed something extraordinary.
It's why I keep (after all these years) going to see local/unheralded bands. You never know when you might experience something….worth remembering forever.
And yes, U2 has had their very sucky moments, but after 23 years of following this band, they can still (sometimes) do justice to that little show in 1980.
