LisaMergs 2,854 Posted September 23, 2016 Ok- we got through "intro music". So, staying in the music theme for a bit- what was the very first concert you went to that you WANTED to go to? How old were you? Mine- Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train, circa 1981. I was a freshman in HS It was freakin awesome!

Cervidae 2,389 Posted September 23, 2016 Mine was My Chemical Romance! It was about a decade ago, and I was also a freshman in highschool. My favorite band, with my two best friends. It was a really freaking awesome experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The New Kel 1,312 Posted September 23, 2016 My firsts concerts were the summer of 1983 and I saw two concerts in a week, can't remember which was first. One was The Tubes, and the other was David Gilmour of Pink Floyd! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 23, 2016 A Flock of Seagulls, The Fixx and The Police - Sullivan Stadium - Summer 1983 (now Gillette Stadium). Tailgating before and after!! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babbs 14,681 Posted September 23, 2016 King George! George Strait when I was about 17 in 1985? Nothing too wild and crazy, lol. Those came later. I also have very diverse musical taste, so I have seen everyone from Elton John (GREAT concert) to Metallica (another great concert). Interestingly enough, I don't like country music anymore. Just the old stuff. But George is still awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julie norton 2,850 Posted September 23, 2016 I got to go see buffalo Springfield ( youngsters might have to google it) at a local junior college in 1967. I remember I wore an A line skirt I made in 4-H.. I am showing my age! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 23, 2016 I should add that I had a semi-flock of seagulls hairdo at the time! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimini 175 Posted September 23, 2016 My parents had me completely frightened of going to a concert (the news reports of The Who concert trampling in '79 didn't help), so I got a late start. The first concert I went to was because a friend begged me to go with her and it was Madonna. That quelled my fears. The first concert I can remember wanting to go to was probably Eric Johnson (HUGE crush!), and I was probably in my mid 20's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
