My first several concerts were Kenny Rogers, Jan & Dean and my mom recently told me I saw The Beach Boys (or some of them) when I was six. I remember seeing Jan & Dean, because my dad told me about the accident and Dead Man's Curve. I know I was six when we saw them.....summer before I turned seven.

My first concert that I chose was Loverboy when I was 12. My friend's older sister and her friend took us, and my friend's parents thought my parents were okay with it....but my parents still don't know I went. Loverboy came to Portland last year and I was tempted to go see them again.....but I didn't.

Yes, I remember he sang that. It's coming back to me now. He wore a white tuxedo with a ruffles and a huge collar.

Make no mistake.... I CHOSE to see Manilow... I wanted to sing on stage with him at my ripe age of 14.... would I do that again... hmmm.. maybe not.
See him person? Heck yes.. but he wouldnt be my top choice.
I didnt see Neil Diamond in concert till.... '97, and man, what a show he puts on for an 'old man'.

But that aside... my only other claim to fame is seeing Tori Amos seven times.
I've seen other live concerts... but yeah... I started, by choice, with Manilow.

I hear he's great in concert, actually. My friend, Tonya, is a Fanilow. She's crazy about him.

I went to see New Kids on the Block and Sweet Sensation as my first concert ever. :o

I'm so jealous! I was a big NKOTB fan back in the day and never got to see them in concert ~ by the time they made it to NZ it was near the end, and they were pretty over by then

I think my first concert was Elton John...I can't actually remember.

I took a 12 year old girl and three of her friends to a NKOTB concert at Arco Arena because I was trying (and succeeded!) to get into her older sisters' pants.

I used to do lots of dumb things to get laid.

I'll bet I was at the same concert (that was my second concert), with Dino, right? I was sitting nosebleed and while my dad was waiting for us in the parking lot, some guy gave my dad a front row ticket. He had no idea why NKOTB was so great.

Then again, for me it was great because of Jonathan Knight and Joe McIntyre!

I was kinda impressed with Dirk Diggler's brother. It seemed like he had the heart of a rocker.
