    Aerosmith 1976 at the Boston Garden. Still have my ticket stub which I paid $6.50 for.

    Wow!! So cool. I saw them once, probably ten or so years ago...paid a lot more than that!

    When I was 7 or 8 my parents took me to the Indiana State Fair to see Olivia Newton-John in the mid 70's
    First concert with friends was REO Speedwagon on New Year's Eve 1982 when I was 15.

    My first proper concert was Smashing Pumpkins in 1993, but I went to the Reading Festival earlier that year and saw Bad Brains, Tool, Babes in Toyland and Porno For Pyros. I refuse to count various radio roadshows that I attended in previous years, where every act mimed and the acts were too crap to mention.

    Rush - Way back in '84. We had 3rd row seats. I had listened to Rush before except Tom Sawyer when it came on the radio. My uncle won 3rd row tickets of the radio and took me. Been a huge fan of Rush ever since.

    Here's a tough confession: I just remembered my real first concert was not Green Day. It was Weird Al at some state fair when I was quite young.

    I wish my first concert was BOC. Go, go, godzilla!

    What was the first music concert you ever went to?

    Mine was Nine Inch Nails back in 98.

    I'm jealous.
    Mine was .....Brittany spears. 2002-3 I think. IDK. My uncle wanted to go so he bought us all tickets. I was 12-13 at the time so it seemed exciting. I have been dying to see NIN!

    The Bangles, part of a 'rising star' concert series in Spokane, WA in 1986. The opening act was some band no one I knew had heard of called EIEIO (like old mcdonald). They're apparently still around. I didn't like them at the time, but I was 17 and hadn't developed musically, so they may be some quirky awesomeness.

    Alice Cooper 1971. I was 7! Compliments of my big brother. Unfortunately I can't remember who opened for them...I'll have to check out the ticket stub.

    The Who - 1980, Kemper Arena in Kansas City, MO.

    I've seen NIN and Slayer since, though! :happy:

    I miss concerts at Kemper!


    I wasn't allowed to go to concerts growing up, so my first one wasn't until I went to college. Monster of Rock 1992 at Arrowhead stadium, featuring Body Count, Guns N Roses. and Metallica.

    I saw them together about ten years ago. Great show!

    Creedence Clearwater Revival at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in September 1970. Booker T & The MGs were also on the bill.

    And I also saw BOC in around 1973. They were the first band I saw that had a laser light show.
