First gig was Behind Crimson Eyes with Sleep Parade, the Mission in Motion and Ellington. Quite forgettable and all, since I don't actually like any of those bands, but my friend asked me to go. So I did. Wasn't too bad, even though there was an excess of teenage girls. Might've been because it was an all ages show. My first experience made me realise that a lot of bands sound either really shit live, and great in studio albums, or they sound awesome live and suck when you listen to them in your own room. Rarely do they manage to do both.
