***Guv'nor*** · 08-25-2006, 04:55 PM

Mine was The Ramones back in 1988. I was 14 yo then and had a blast.

What about you?

Billy The Mtn · 08-27-2006, 08:17 AM

First one was Led Zepplin, 1973 at Madison Sq Garden. I was 15 Yrs old. unbelievable show. Page blew me away.

Adwex · 09-12-2006, 02:40 PM

Styx on the Grand Illusion tour, at the Long Island Arena (ice skating rink)I forget what year exactly, '76-'78.

Come sail away.

surfdog777 · 10-30-2006, 12:13 PM

It was UFO with opening act Judas Priest at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, somewhere around 1977-78. I think the UFO album being promoted was "Lights Out" and it was "Hell Bent for Leather" for JP.

And Guv'nor ~ I got past the gate attendants with a fake ID to see the Ramones at the Agora Ballroom in 1978 "Road To Ruin".

lpaholic59Don · 09-23-2007, 04:11 PM

The Mountain reunion tour in 73, I was 13, the whole thing was definitly a crazy episode in my life

I went to The Backstreet Boys concert when I was 16 years old.. that was back in 1999. It was good times, though! It was in St. Louis, MO. It was my first time!

LJGriggs · 01-07-2008, 02:37 PM

I believe the first concert I payed to see was the Doobie Brothers back in Macon, Ga around 1973. I saw a lot of the local Capricorn Studios' artists playing "free jams" down at the Central City Park (fairgrounds) in Macon back in the early 70's.

There was a moment in time (1970 to 1975) when Macon, GA was a great place for a kid with a guitar to grow up. Nothing much left but the memories now...

ledfree · 02-15-2008, 03:29 PM

Santana at New bingley Hall ( The Cowshed ) 1978. I was 16.

2001rt · 02-25-2008, 08:55 AM

Kansas 1978

Lucifuge · 04-18-2008, 06:31 AM

Iron Maiden - Powerslave in 84 at the Omni in Atlanta. I think Yngwie opened for them (rising force)

stryker59 · 04-19-2008, 09:45 AM

confederate railroad in 1994

VirgilCaine · 04-23-2008, 05:42 PM

Sha-Na-Na in 1976 maybe?

PAF MAN · 06-07-2008, 08:31 PM

1982 judas priest with golden earring opening. about 20 stacks graced the stage.

poeman33 · 06-08-2008, 06:16 AM

Alice Cooper -Welcome to My Nightmare in Edmonton
He had just fallen of the stage in Vancouver after the huge spider web prop had fallen down and bounced him off it. He was wrapped up with broken ribs and could hardly move, yet alone sing. He went on for a while a did a few songs, then had to be helped off the stage. The rest of his band completed the show. He had two great guitarists working for him, Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner. They went out front and battled guitar leads...all improvised and fantastic. It wasn't what I came to see, but it was still a memorable concert. I learned alot about professionalism on stage from that show.

DocNrock · 06-09-2008, 01:11 PM

First concert was the Maiden Powerslave tour in '84. Blown away.

Benzesp · 06-10-2008, 09:40 AM

White Zombie/Prong/The Obsessed 1993.. I was 16. Jeeze that was a long time ago.

*Zeppelin

sorry bad habit

Mine was Aerosmith in '99 or '00 on the Nine Lives tour, Seven Mary Three opened for them. I remember thinking, "Wow, that was loud"

BYoung · 07-10-2008, 12:04 PM

Jimi Hendrix and Vanilla Fudge at the Oakland Coliseum, it was 1968 or 1969 just before the release of "Electric Ladyland". Totally unbelievable show!

AMERICA at the newcastle workers club...the joint's were rockin! so was the band

CC51 · 07-19-2008, 10:20 AM

Jethro Tull.... can't remember much else.

omikl · 08-07-2008, 09:28 PM

Cheap Trick, Canterbury Odeon 1978. I was 18 and had just arrived at University. It was the first gig I went to that I wasn't playing at

(I'd been playing out for about 2 years at that point). I think I saw The Cure (humped gear for that one), Ozzy, and The Pretenders all in the following couple of months.

Why did I wait so long? Well, the only way you could get to see a touring act when I was a kid was to go to Leeds. Nobody our age had a car, so unless you felt like either leaving before the headliner was half finished you'd be walking home 12-15 miles in the wee small hours. Some guys did it though.

Sean Coughlon · 08-08-2008, 12:43 AM

Kiss - August 1977 at the Fabulous Forum in Los Angeles, CA. Cheap Trick opened the show. I was 7 years old. My brother and I were huge fans. Dad was not a fan but he took us because we were so into Kiss. Just one of the many cool things our pop has done for us.

jmm757 · 08-08-2008, 07:45 AM

Aerosmith 1975 Toys in the Attic with Reo and Slade. Sold my drums and bought a Strat three days later...Wow, what a show

joey · 08-09-2008, 08:23 AM

I can't remember the exact year, lots aof partying at that time... but my first 3 shows was all pretty much the same year (more or less) between 88 - 89 :

Maiden - Seventh son of a 7th son

Ozzy - No rest

Metallica - And Justice

And If memory serves me right, Maiden was first, Ozzy then Metallica.

Maiden had GnR opening up.

Ozzy had Vixen and GreatWhite

Metallica had Queensryche (OP mindcrime).
