I saw angel,humble pie and mothers finest in cleveland,1980.

My first concert, without my parents, was Cheap Trick in 1983. My memories had John Waite there as well, but looking it up I find it it was Aldo Nova and Danny Spanos. A friend had to explain to me what that "strange" smelling smoke was that hovered in the air all about. I was so sheltered.

1996 Edmonton AB
99 bands for $6, or $5 if you brought a vegan food donation for Food Not Bombs. It was a punk show at a small hall, I think it was called Parklands. I was 16. I was only able to go for a couple hours and missed most of the show.

The only band I really remember was a joke band called The Edmon-tones, which were a 2 peice xurf rock band with a guitar and the other member playing an assortment of cow bells, triangles, wood blocks, pails, etc.

First real band I remember ever seeing was probably The James T Kirks, a instrumental psychobilly band at the Ritz Diner. It was either them or Greenday, but they were so bad live they don't count anyway.

Loggins & Messina with Jim Croce warming up for them, a month before he died

As a child: Jacksons reunion tour.

FIrst real fun concert: Metallica opened for Ozzy, right before Cliff died.

Ignoring the christian rock bands, my first concert was Metallica in Alrlington, 2017. They are my favorite band and I’m really glad I saw them. There was so much energy and I became fast friends with those sitting near me. !m! Yeah !m!

I honestly don't recall. My mother dragged me to so many as a kid, I don't know which one was first. I saw Helen Reddy, Charlie Pride, Mel Tillis, and Frankee Vallee and the Four Seasons. That last one, I think, was the last one I let her take me to. The first concert I CHOSE to go to was Foreigner with Bryan Adams opening.

It would have to be Al Green in England, 1974. Amazing. So long ago

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