Iron Maiden - Somewhere Back In Time World Tour - Canada, Quebec, Montreal - Parc Jean Dreapeau - 21/06/2008

Will never forget that day, Iron Maiden my favorite band of all fucking time, I breath maiden, I eat maiden, I dream with maiden atleast 3 times a week, Bruce Dickinson read my letter on his radio show, Im in an Iron Maiden tribute band, what else can a fan do to be a maiden fan? oh wait hmm, I learnt to play bass by watching Steve Harris, Learnt to play drums by playing stuff like nicko mcbrain, LOTS OF TRIPLETS!!, tought myself guitar by watching Dave Murray, and currently teaching myself how to sing like bruce ahahaha, im not too good at it, but you have to start at somepoint. You guys might be thinking "this kid probably sucks at all those instruments" and the truth is that I stick more to guitar more than anything else.

And this post has the special number hahahaha.

joshuaaewallen · 04-09-2009, 02:05 PM

Steve Miller at Northrop Auditorium at the UofM campus in Minneapolis, MN back in 1996. 2nd row seats... Amazing show!

luekemeyer · 04-13-2009, 05:59 PM

My first was KISS at Magic Mountain. May 19, 1978.KISS TIckets.jpg

MartyStrat54 · 04-13-2009, 08:33 PM

Saw them first in 1968. One of the four times I did see them. A band that featured the original shredder...Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. One smoking, unbelievable guitarist (before he stoned himself out of the scene). Note: The second time I saw Ten Years After, ZZ Top was the opening act.

I saw many of the great (and not so famous) acts of the late 60's to present.

stax · 04-14-2009, 12:18 AM

Black Sabbath fronted by RJDio for The Mob Rules at the Long Beach Arena in 1981 or 1982. The Outlaws opened! That was the night I lost my soul!

Bluemoon78 · 04-23-2009, 02:04 AM

Prince in about 94. Blew me away. The guy is an amazing guitar player and all round musician.

Keith Carrot · 05-02-2009, 08:01 AM

My 1st was Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Chicago Ampitheater 1971 with Special guests- Bo Didley and Tower of Power. The 2nd was The Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder in 1972 at the same venue. $5.50 & $7.50 a ticket!!!!

woh, now thats crazy, id go to kiss just to look at what they wear! its awsome!

VHFreak · 05-04-2009, 01:37 PM

My first concert was Ted Nugent's Whiplash Bash on new years eve 93' at Cobo Hall in Detroit. It was awesome. He had a campfire on stage and he played Fred Bear acoustic sitting by the fire. He started the show sitting in a tree stand about 30ft in the air from a fake tree on stage then he shot a couple guitars with his bow and swung down on a rope. Ha Ha. He didn't get the nickname Motorcity Mad Man for nothing!

cooljuk · 05-04-2009, 04:57 PM

My first real rock show:

Faith No More
Metallica
Guns n' Roses

At RFK Stadium in D.C. in sometime around '88-'90.

I'd been to countless bars/festivals/events and such with my Mom before that. Mostly Irish bands, but some of them were pretty rock-ish. I remember loving the electric guitar sound since I was probably only 3 or 4. I was also obsessed with hi-hats, I thought they looked so cool hopping up and down! My first word was actually "music." It'll probably be my last too.

767400 · 05-05-2009, 07:25 PM

God bless her, my mom took me to a KISS concert, 1979 Pittsburgh Civic Arena, when I was in the forth grade.

019228 · 05-22-2009, 10:31 PM

Kiss-summer of '76. Bob Segar opened the show. God of Thunder got me hooked at 13.

woodddj · 05-23-2009, 08:13 AM

Aerosmith's permanent vacation tour. i think it was in 87-88. white lion opened up for them. till this day, that was the best concert i have ever went to. me and a friend had just enuff money to buy t-shirt and ticket. a group of guys behind us fogged one up after every song. after the concert, and after being around pot for the last 3hours. me and my friend had the munchies from hell, and maybe $1.50 betwen both of us. so we had to split a coke and hunnybunn on the ride home. i was 17 years old, broke and hungry, but i didnt care. because i had just seen AEROSMITH for the very first time.

Heavy Ed · 05-23-2009, 01:10 PM

My 1st concert was Aerosmith in 88' with Guns n Roses opening. That was a great time both bands put on a hell of a good show. Think I was 13 at the time.

dvlchyl · 05-29-2009, 06:23 AM

Guns'n Roses @ Eastern Creek race way Sydney 93.I was 12 and my parents left me at the gate with 80,000 strangers.Luv ya mum and dad!!

9200 · 05-31-2009, 11:41 AM

My first was Iron Maiden, Somewhere on tour 1985(?) in Malmoe, Sweden. I was 13 yo at the time and I was baptised by Eddie! Maiden is the best ever man!

ghettoshelf · 05-31-2009, 01:42 PM

Kiss with White Lion opening.Kiss was on the Crazy Nights tour in 87?The next concert I saw was Dio with Megadeth opening.I don't think So far So good had come out yet and the bass drums were still Peace Sells logo.Dio was on the dream evil tour with Craig Goldie.Megadeth was awesome and then I saw them 10 years later and they were horrible.
The actual first concert I saw was the Statler Brothers in 78 at the Lubbock county fair.Does that count?

txflood · 06-02-2009, 11:49 PM

Pretty sure it was a concert at our high school, Melbourne Australia, by a local band called AC DC in '74 or '75 with Bon Scott out front.

JAC · 06-03-2009, 12:37 PM

Emerson, Lake and Palmer Brain Salad Surgery 1973 Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim California. The second one was California Jam ( the first one, it was not called one or 1 at the time until Cal Jam 2 came along) what a zoo! I hate festival concerts like that. Just for the record my third was Aerosmith Toys in the Attic Tour. ( I actually went to see one of the opening acts for them which was Mahogany Rush) the good old days, how I wish I could relive them over again...more wisely this time around!

Procter2812 · 06-03-2009, 02:04 PM
