What was your first concert?

Grumpy4 · 01-12-2005, 04:38 PM

This thread is stemming from the "I Heart Duran Duran" thread.

Let discuss your first concert ever! Who did you go see and how old were you...approximately? Or you can leave that out if you don't want to date yourself

Mine was...brace yourself...Culture Club! I was in 7th grade! They had just released Karma Khameleon(sp?) album! It was soooo cool!

Tony Orlando and Dawn.
(Taken to the concert by my aunt. I don't remember anything about it.)

Next was:

The Summer Jam Concert featuring Foreigner 4, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, the Charlie Daniels Band and the Surf Punks at Aloha Stadium.

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree......

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'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.

Y'know I don't think I could name a NKotB song, but I did enjoy watching them dance. Weren't they one of the first bands to do all of that choreography with their music? One of the distinct things I can remember about NK merchandise were all of the people running around with the shoelaces. It seemed like they were everywhere.
