What was your first concert?

[RoxorFuxor]

I saw The Allman Bros. Band. I didn't enjoy it. They didn't want to be there and it really killed the mood. They didn't really play that many songs I like, either. After that, I kind of got bored with them.

my first 'real' concert was the summersault festival in 1998. mostly canadian bands especially when they got to my end of the country. off the top of my head i remember seeing.

on the small stage...
ar libido (sucked hard)
julie doiron
bucket truck (awesome)
joydrop
treble charger
BTK (basically canada's version of the beastie boys at the time haha)

then the main stage had...
i mother earth (awesome even if it was the new singer's 3rd show)
sloan (awesomer)
esthero (got drenched while she performed otherwise great)
moist (great aside from getting elbowed in the eye in the mosh pit)

and to close it off....

our lady peace. the absolute WORST live band i've ever had to stand through. they were playing live but i still sounded exactly like the cd. sounding like plastic live is bad.

My first was Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention...at the old War Memorial in Rochester, NY, in June of 1975. To this day I`ve still not seen a show as innovative, and entertaining. Chester Thompson drummed like I`ve never seen anyone drum, and George Duke was amazing on the keyboard. I won`t say what a great job FZ did with his guitar, that would be redundant...he`s one of the best EVER.

First Rock concert was Boston/Foreigner in the early 80's...
Great show!

My most MEMORABLE concert in the 80's would be between The Who in '88 and Robert Plant the same year...both concerts were so excellent, man!
The Who were LOUD and they absolutely ROCKED, and I got chills when Plant sung In The Evening....at that time it was almost like seeing Zeppelin.

33 years ago this very moment, I was at my first concert--Grand Funk in Little Rock, Arkansas. I remember because it the birthday of a good friend, and I'd been out running around with him the night before. He didn't go to the concert, but we talked about it that night, so it stuck in my mind.

PHOENIX. The events recounted on "We're An American Band" with 'Sweet Sweet Connie' in Little Rock supposedly took place that night.

I think it was Lee Michaels with Trapeze as the opener, been so long ago.

I`ve seen The Allman Brothers 11 times, and not even once did they seem to "not want to be there" . Every single time was almost like seeing them for the first time again. I`m sorry that you didn`t enjoy yourself. I consider the Allman Brothers Band to be one of the very best blues/rock groups there ever was. Perhaps you should give them another chance sometime. I saw them with and without Duane, and with and without Dicky Betts...I gotta say those guys transition like noone I`ve ever seen.

BTW...I`ve seen Dicky`s band three times too, and they`re pretty damned good.
