    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!
