Who/when was your first rock concert/The Who is Touring?
 

I just saw that The Who is touring?? I had no idea. Anyways, my first concert was The Who/Orange Bowl/1982 (I think).

When was your 1st show?

My first concert was Yes on the Tormato Tour... :eek: That was a long time ago!

Iron Maiden: (Somewhere on Tour) 1987, Toledo Sports Arena, Toledo, Ohio.

Kiss - the Destroyer tour, Providence, RI. Detroit Rock City!!!!!

I think it was the Headbanger's Ball Tour w/ Anthrax, Helloween and Exodus.

...believe or not - The GoGo's (1984). A Flock of Seagulls opened for them.

My first concert was the cure.

(waits for keyser to post in here so it could be moved to music forum. ;) )

My very first concert was Triumph around 1985 or so.

I did see the Who also, can't remember when but it was some time after that.

Metallica

I had gone to see a couple bands play... So, the first time I can remember going to see a band play, was probably to see a bunch of ska bands... Hepcat being one of them..(93 i think)

My first "concert" would be Pink Floyd ('94) though. I guess I define "concert" as several thousand people in the audience. (versus a show, which is a few hundred).

Live / Veruca Salt / PJ Harvey -- Summer 1996.

Was this before or after Veruca Salt was a big name? I went to some whole in the wall in a nasty area of DC to see some unknown band named Veruca Salt. I think there were 15 people there MAX. Fig Dish opened for them (and we know what happened during/after that tour).

This was shortly after their "breakthrough" hit "Seether" came out. They didn't have much of a following, and the lead singer came out in a dress and a gold football helmet on. Wierd.

They sucked too. Heh..

I saw the Live/PJ Harvey/Veruca Salt tour in 96 as well, only in Columbia, MD. Anyway....


First concert....hmm....think it was Guns and Roses/Skid Row in 1992. Embarrassing, isn't it?

I think my first concert was Sonic Youth in Minneapolis the fall of 1995.

Good show, great band live...would highly recommend them if/when they go on tour again.

Wait, no.. the Live / Veruca Salt / PJ Harvey tour was in Summer 199<B>5</B>. The only reason I know this was because I didn't have my license yet and had to have a couple friends drive. I got my license the following summer in 1996.

I think I have you all topped in the embarassing department.

My first concert was the Club Mtv Tour.

C+C Music Factory
Bell Biv Devoe
Cathy Dennis
Color Me Badd

:yack:

Chilliwack on the Opus X tour back in 81 or 82????

Ween, fall 1997- it was log's idea :p

Im taking WhoGirl to see the Who on 4th of July in Sacramento, CA. :)

Neil Diamond was my first concert. I was young though. Dont remember how old.

I don't know...mine was Jody Watley. Free tickets because my brother worked at a radio station. :o

Kiss/1996.

And, I too have seen The Who. :) They are touring again this summer. A list of places they are playing is right here .

Robert Palmer, with Belinda Carlisle opening, in Austin, TX. In 1986, I believe (Riptide tour -- I still think "Addicted to Love" was a great single).

Not as embarassing as Kiss/Slaughter/Little Caesar in 1989 on Kiss' Hot in the Shade tour.

When I was in the womb I was at an Emerson, Lake and Palmer concert in Germany. My first concert out of the womb was Neil Young in 1976.

Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood tour in '89

I gotta have the most embarassing one...

MC Hammer

I think it was in '92 or something, I was like 10 or 11 (didnt know any better)

My first REAL concert (that I bought tickets to) was Tom Petty in I think '95.

IRON MAIDEN "World Slavery Tour" 1983-84
Twisted Sister was the opening band.

For me it was the Monkees in 1986

Early 80's

Molly Hatchet (oh god) opening for

April Wine

Well, if you don't count the Osmonds or Sonny/Cher at a state fair when I was a kid... I'll saw Bob Seger in 1980. Today, that makes me think, "Icky."

KISS was it for me: I was 10 years old in December 1977. AC/DC opened - we booed 'em...

Cool... Irvine sounds like a good possibility for me this year. Saw them in Oakland many years ago.

My first concert was Blue &Ouml;yster Cult back in the 70's.

The Who in summer of 89. Stevie Ray Vaughn opened I think.

Guns N' Roses, April 6, 1992, Myriad Arena, Oklahoma City.

Smashing Pumpkins, virtually an unknown band at the time (at least in Oklahoma, and compared to GN'R), opened for GN'R and were booed off the stage maybe 20-25 minutes into their set.

Cream Farewell Tour 1969. My ears are still ringing.

Billy Joel at Aloha Stadium in '87.

Front row, center. Still one of my favorite concert experiences ever. :)

"Weird Al" Yankovic - the Stupid Tour '85

Scorpions in 84 or 85
Rock You Like a Hurricane!!
