Your first ever live concert experience?

[Broady Brio]

With Lostprophets, Kids in Glass Houses and We are the Ocean.

The lead singer from We are the Ocean attempted to crowd surf and fell through the crowd.

 

[Twin Of Aphex]

Mines was Tommy Reilly, It was an indie gig so the crowd wasnt too lively but the atmosphere was great.

 

[Shade of Life]

Deep Purple when I was twelve.

 

[bpm195]

MC Frontalot and MC Lars at the khyber in Philadelphia.

Moshing at a hip hop concert where I was the only black person. EPIC! The place was so packed that there were at least 2 unexpected pregnancies.

 

[Van Miranda]

My first concert experience was Tool. Never been to a concert before that. Second time was Rush for their Snakes and Arrows tour. Would love to go to more, but they are a bit expensive.

 

[Orthon]

I was very young(5-8 years old) when I went to see Electric Banana Band.

[Daveman]

I went to see Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits with my mum. It was awesome, the man defines cool guitar.

Oh man, i remember when i had my cherry popped. ((concert wise anyway))
It was back in 2003? maybe 2004....

Anyway, i was only like 13/14 at the time, and my friends dad got some free tickets to a Cradle Of Filth Concert.

Ofcourse, his son and i, being cradle of filth addicts, asked if we could go to the concert. He said sure, but only if he went with us to make sure we didnt get in trouble. So we slipped the ticket dude a couple hundred, and he let us in, and before were even 9 feet in the door, some dude comes running by, and knees me in the mouth. Luckly i only lost 2 teeth. I tryed to play it off, and we ended up staying for the rest of the concert.

Ofcourse, when we got home, my uncle ((who i was living with at the time)) wanted to know where a few of my teeth went. i had to lie ofcourse and tell him i fell down a flight of stairs at my friends house the day before.

Ahhh, good times. To be young and metal.

 

[Sviests]

Dream Theater and about a week later Genesis. And I`m proud of it.

Technically, my first was a Santana gig up in the Haight when I was still in my mother's belly. She was standing next to Carlos' mom, and had a nice conversation with her.

But the first one I remember once out of the womb was Day on the Green Number One for summer 1982. I was twelve. The lineup was Gamma (with Ronnie Montrose), Toto, The Tubes (God, yes), Santana (again), and Journey headlining.

For the one or two of you youngins who has an aunt or uncle old enough to remember how huge Journey was, you might crack open the booklet that came with their box set to the center spread to see a giant photo of my first concert.

Goldfinger's Hello Destiny tour, Worcester, MA at a shitty nightclub.

Got right up front to the stage with cheap tickets, though. That was a plus. Wall of death, crowdsurfing, dancing on stage with the band, and one lucky bloke ate a Twinkie out of the drummer's ass. Only the half that wasn't in the ass, but still.

And they only played one song from their new album before playing all the old stuff everyone loves. 99 Red Balloons, Spokesman, Chris Cayton, S.M.P, Superman...I could go on for a while.

 

[TPiddy]

My dad took me to see Weird Al Yankovic when I was 10. Does that count? The first concert I've been to on my own was Blind Guardian / Symphony X in 2001.
