I seen "The Carpenters " when Karen was only 16 at Valley Forge, PA, I was 25 and married. Who was playing at your very first concert and were you on a date?

1984
Philadelphia Spectrum
Great White
Judas Priest
I was 15 and was dateless for this one. However, I did bring a date to see Slayer in 1987 at City Gardens in Trenton, NJ. Needless to say, the relationship didn't last too long after that

My first "real" concert was Kiss, Slaughter and Little Caesar in 1989. I was in 9th grade and went with my brother (obviously not a date).
I went with my parents to see Neil Diamond when I was 8 or 9 years old. Looking back on it, I'd rather see Neil Diamond than Kiss.

My first "real" concert was Queen (Opening Act: Thin Lizzy). I think about 1976 (when I was in 8th grade). I went by myself, got a ride from my mom. My second "real" concert was also Queen, 1979, and I went with a friend.

I am 29 years old. My first real concert was (drumroll) two years ago. Weird Al on Navy Pier. If going with your wife counts as a date, then ok.
I love music, but just don't get into concerts.

Mine was Moody Blues with my dad when I was ten. First one that I actually wanted to go to would be pearl jam though.
Never taken a date to a concert, though i've gone to concerts with my Girlfriend, but since it was steady, you don't really have dates.

No date. First concert was Tom Petty with Lenny Kravitz opening. This was in the early 90's. We were really disappointed that Kravitz was opening but that changed once we saw him. He was really good.

Robert Plant with Cheap Trick opening
1987
I went with a friend from work. I was 17. My first concert was supposed to be a couple of weeks before Plant. I had tickets to David Lee Roth, but kept thinking that I didn't want to have to say that my first concert was DLR, so I skipped it and waited for the Plant show.

The first concert I wanted to go to was They Might Be Giants at the Georgia Theater in Athens, back in October 1996 during my freshman year of college.
