    I think my first concert was when I was five or six. My parents took me to see Crystal Gayle at Kings Dominion. So that would have been around 1983 or 1984.

    I went to a lot of home town band's concerts before this, but my first major concert was New Found Glory (With Eisley and Reggie & the Full Effect) in 2004.

    It was either Conway Twitty, Barbara Mandrel (with opening act, the Eagles), or Alabama, but I don't remember which one. I saw all of them at Six Flags over Mid-America in the late 1970's/early 1980's.

    Sadly...N'sync and I think it was 98. It was before anyone even knew who they were. The tickets were $4.00 and I caught Justin Timberlake when he dove from a speaker. Still makes me laugh.

    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

    F'in Sweet!
