First one was Ratt and Poison in (I think) '86. Poison was the opening act and MUCH better than Ratt.
This year's corporate sales meeting was Aerosmith... They were great, much better in person than on radio/cd. I couldn't enjoy it as I had a bad case of food poisoning and left early for the hotel room. Two years ago was Bare Naked Ladies at the sales meeting. THAT was a great concert. My SVP (Senior Vice President) snuck me back after the concert to meet the band.

RJ
Ray Charles when I was like 6 or 8.
Was at the State Fair...
Free Concert.
I'm hoping to make it Dethklok next year... :buttrock:
Goo Goo Dolls in '95? Before they were a chic band.
Roger Waters when he was on the Radio Chaos tour in th 80's.
I'm pretty sure it was Weird Al at the now defunt Rock-It Club back in '92. It was a small club venue, and I was really close to the stage. He did 7 or 8 costume changes, it was an awesome show.
Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Sam Bush played a benefit concert for my elementary school. 5th grade I think? Gotta love growing up in nashville
STP and Meat Puppets '94.
Page and Plant sometime during the early/mid 90s.
Definitely a good band and at their best point in time.Quote:

AC/DC in 1990...unless you count any of the live bands i saw at various clubs in dallas and austin as a teenager (in which case, i don't remember what the first one was).
The Dresden Dolls and Nine Inch Nails in 2005.
Green Day in like '99.
it was 89, i was three, my parents couldn't find a sitter for me or my older sister. as the sitters they usually used (my aunt and uncle were there too) stevie ray vaughn was playing at some club here in austin. i remember nothing of it, my parents told me about it.
suicidal tendencies opening for queensryche in 91'
Ha, I went to that show as well.Quote:

Bon Jovi, I think it was 92 or 93. We got free tickets from my Moms work. I liked it back then :D
Honnestly can't remember, it probably was "Samson & Gert" sometime back in 1992.
First real concert was Vive la fête I think, which was only several years ago tbh.
1987 Run-DMC with the Beastie Boys Together Forever Tour. Run-DMC was the pinnacle of rap music at the time. The Beastie Boys had leather bikini chicks dancing in cages on either side of the stage and a big inflatable dick that launched confetti behind them. I was 12, I drank beer, smoked a joint and puked - it was fucking awesome.
I'm pretty sure it was the Skid Row concert back in '91--'92. Pantera opened up for them.
Poison with Slaughter as support back in '91.
Ozzfest 97
Since then I've probably been to over 150 concerts at least.
Deftones, around the fur tour
some boyband about 9 years ago in my old school :emb:
first i wanted to see, uhmm, some local rap group called the scribes four years ago?
I saw Utopia in Lawrence, KS. when I was very young. I highly doubt anyone knows who they are.
GWAR
first big concert was green day, pretty cool show, but so many wankers.
Well excluding the early 90s "free" concerts @ Sea World of Texas in SATX where such groups as C&C Music Factory, En Vogue, Color Me Badd, St. Paul, and a few others played...
my first "paid for" concert was in Febuary of 1995 to see a group I had no idea who they were at the time called Genitortures. Still remember it like it was yesterday too. It was a Friday and "bondage night" at the venue called "The Showcase" and I was the only one not wearing some S&M outfit or Punk style attire. Instead I sat smoking lucky strikes with my steel toed boots up on the table, decked out 1950s style and ended up talking smack to Jenn the lead singer of the group about "fucking". Had no idea she was the lead act, figured her for another tart hang around, THEN I GOT TO SEE HER IDEA OF SEX.
...this was Me before the Internet and being fucked in the head sexually, thus I wasn't digging her weird flavors. In 2007 though, I'd turn the chick out. Ended up becoming a fan of the group for awhile though. After that I kind of went nuts with the concerts.
hey ab...my brother took me as a high school graduation present...rosemont horizon in rosemont,illimois...where are you located ?
i went to one of the ozzfests in 98 and had the wonderful
pleasure to see primus. awesome show. also got to see slipknot just as they
were getting popular. didn't get to stay for rob zombie or ozzy though.
after that i didn't go again to see live music until
around 2000 - 2001 actually. la zona rosa in austin to see david byrne
during sxsw. i'm a big talking heads/byrne fan.
Maybe it doesn't count as a proper concert, but I saw the B-52s at a local fair a few years ago. It was a really great performance.
Oingo Boingo back in the late '80s. They were my second and third concert, also.
The Eagles - June 11th, 2001
My mom took me to the Beach Boys when I was about 7 or so, but the first concert I paid for and went to by choice was New Order in '89 at Astroworld (R.I.P.) here in Houston.
Technique tour for any New Order fans here.
I'm always thankful that I saw a show on that tour, as there has never been another large-scale tour of the U.S. by New Order since, and now that they've broken up, there never will be :(
They played 8 or 9 shows I think it was for the Republic tour in '91, but Dallas was the closest show to me, and I couldn't drive until '93, so that was unfortunately not an option at the time.
EDIT: Ironically, as I was posting this, Razed in Black's cover of Everything's Gone Green came on my playlist :)
Iron Maiden, Long Beach Civic Auditorium 1991 - 'No Prayer for the Dying' tour.
Not my first show, but my first concert.
Awesome for the time, btw.
I couldn't be more jealous, I always wanted to see New Order before they broke up, but the toured so rarely around here. Hopefully we'll get a reunion tour or something years from now, but I doubt that's going to happen.Quote:

I still hate Sieger.
Great show Pat, I saw them at the Philly leg of the tour.Quote:

It was a all-day classic rock show with quite a few big acts. The only ones I remember from that was Ted Nugent (this was around the time 'Spirit of the Wild' was coming out/already in stores) and Foreigner.
Reel Big Fish, followed closely by AC/DC.
Damn Wopat, the Meat Puppets aren't a bad start at all. If only my taste were that good when I was young
Donington '87 -
Cinderella
Helloween
W.A.S.P
Anthrax
D.I.O.
Bon Jovi
Went with a m8, hooked up with some girls there and then we all got separated in a crush about dinnertime and I didn't see him again until 11.30 that night after I staggered onto the coach tired, hungry and with mud all the way up-to my knees from the waterlogged mosh-pit.
Great day and it took me three days to regain my hearing.
Honors Concert, at which I performed three times during high school. All of the top musical students are collected throughout Saint Paul's schools to perform at the Ordway in downtown Saint Paul. I was a baritone in my school's choir for six years.
God damnit I missed GWAR AGAIN! They were in my town 2 weeks ago. Next time they come to knoxville Im fucking there.Quote:

I saw Guns & Roses in the early 90's. Soundgarden opened for them, then GNR came out. Awesome. This was at the San Diego Sports Arena.
I also saw the below concert which rocked:
09/30/92 Guns & Roses, Metallica, Body Count, Jack Murphy Stadium
I had tickets to see cypress hill and house of pain in the early 90's too but I got grounded -- goddamnit.
Went with my parents to see Cha Na Na. (hope I spelled it right) 50's music.
First concert I went to by choice was...Hot Night South Bay.
Bunch of High Energy groups. Now I think the music is called free style. Spanish Fly was top notch back then. :lolz:
Cheap Trick in 1982
Didn't read thread properly, guess still waiting for mine
