Tool, 2001.

@minhmeister this was right around the time Lateralus came out. I was a big fan of Aenima as an album.

Woodstock!

With parents, I'm assuming?

well that would be the one to go to if you got the chance to go to any i think

@Deb57 Yup! Nine years old. I thought it was the biggest Indian Pow wow I had ever seen.

ZZTop, Las Cruces NM... The last song it was a master piece of execution. The last few notes, the stage got filled out with fog. The drums kept on playing to the last second when the music stopped, the fog vanished and all three of them were gone....puff...the rapture. Unforgettable moment....

@Gyanez like they say in Goldberg's TV sitcom.... It was nineteen eighty something...

@Gyanez cool, I got some credits for my masters from NMSU

forget the very first, but in quick 1970's succession, Led Zepplin and Jethro Tull...

@maturin1919 well, we still have video :'😉

Don't judge but LeAnn Rimes lol

It was 1997, winter. My mom only listened to country at the time, and LeAnn Rimes was my favorite next to Shania Twain.

My next concert was Avenged Sevenfold/Bullet for my valentine/Three Days Grace. Then I saw Fall out Boy/Wiz Kalifa and then Red Jumpsuit Apparatus did a private concert in my town and I got to hang out with them after the show because I'm friends with the local band lead singer that opened for them

That was my oldest daughter's first concert. Her 3rd grade class won tickets.

I have nothing against Ms. Rimes. You will face no judgement here.

What? Not one first Grateful Dead attendee? Bill Graham said, "They're not the best at what they do, they're the best!" Unforgettable!

@JustLynnie ?

Do Christmas concerts at church or school count?

I was envisioning concert hall/stadium as opposed to a school or non professional.

Why not? It was not specific enough so even a garage band will count as an answer... so a church organist too.

@Dew25 Pity! However, for me, that would be Purple Vein, a local indie band.

Alice Cooper, July 1977, Omaha. My parents had never heard of her, so I was allowed to go. lol

"her" lmfao...you know you're going to hell, don't you?

@SeeCanU I'll point the finger of blame directly at this.

Maynard Ferguson

I saw him in the 80s! Amazing! I even had one of his albums until I gave up my vinyl before moving to Germany. ?

You had good taste

@Mitch07102 you don't know the half of it. 😉

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention on the Mudshark tour, 1970 I think, at the historic Watres Armory in Scranton, PA. If Joe Biden was there, I didn't see him. 🤓

The Beatles, Komiskey Park, Chicago, 1965. Top that!...Okay, never mind. I just read where someone else saw the Beatles in '65.

Can't!

Iron Maiden 1983.
This where I saw them:

Look at all the Maiden fans, cool!!

Oh man. It's really hard to say. a few friends and I used to go to a bajillion clubs and barsto see all kind of punk bands back then. If I had to guess it would have to be the Ramones at CBGB's.

I think my first real concert though was around 1884 at the New Haven collisium. It was Metallica's Master of Puppets, opening up for Ozzy's Ultimate sin tour.
So I can actually say that I got to see Cliff Burten while he was still alive.

Saw the "Ride The Lightening" tour in Germany in 1984. Cliff was awesome !!!! The opening band was named "Tank".

@MacTavish Fucking awesome man, I would loved to have seen that show.

I don't answer these because questions like this are also questions some websites ask as security questions.

@Fanburger Damn. I've been exposed.

When I was 16 in 1982, Journey. Opening act was Bryan Adams.

That was my second concert (of my own choosing) and the second time I saw Bryan Adams.

3

Janice Joplin at the old Filmore East on Second Avenue. It blew my mind - couldn't believe she was white 'cause I had only heard her on the radio. I always liked her line: the best for a girl to show she digs a guy she just met is to take him home and screw him.

I got into Janis in my post-high school years. I'll never forget watching the Monterey Pop concert and thinking "HOLY SHIT!"

2

Jonny Cash when I was seven--- Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show when I was 13 ish. Loved Both. I was a big Dr. Hook fan.🙂

Alice Cooper, Dead Babies concert.

My first concert was J. Geils with Cheap Trick 1982

Dew25 Level 7 July 19, 2018

Wow, I saw J. Geils that year! In February 1982, at the Boston Garden. I saved the concert shirt and tix stubs even. But Cheap Trick wasn't part of the Geils show I saw - although I did see Cheap Trick at UMass in 1984, at an outdoor spring concert.

I read in the Globe that John Warren Geils Jr. (the J. Geils namesake) died a year ago. Now I've got to go listen to some Geils!

When I was 13. Shaun Cassidy. Some things you never forget ?

Rose2U Level 7 July 19, 2018

The Stones 1971 - just before Sticky Fingers came out (I was 13)

Amazing...I'm jealous

3

David Cassidy. I was 10.
