      I've been to a ton (at least 50) and I'm 27.
      First was Chris Cagle when in 2001! I've seen him 5 times now.

      Iggy Pop 33 years ago...my Mum escorted me and he spat on her. Well, in his defence, all of the punks were spitting at him and I think my Mum got in the way. I didn't care, it was one of the best concert I've ever been too. I was all of 13 at the time. I went and saw The Cure a few weeks later, without Mum :p

      My first concert was a babysitting gig, my aunt paid me to take my younger cousin to a Garth Brooks concert. Ugh (btw, I am SOOOO not a garth brooks fan). That was 1992.

      My first concert that I went to that I WASN'T a babysitter, was New Years Evil - Phoenix, AZ - 1998. Black Sabbath, Pantera, Megadeth, Slayer. I missed part of Megadeth because I was in line for beer. Altho, I saw two chicks get in a fight and one girl ripped the shirt OFF of the other girl. BEST NYE ever!

      My first concert was the Stampeders in 1974. You probably have to be over 50 and Canadian to remember my favourite song that year, Sweet City Woman. Shout out to all the Calgarians on MFP!
