    Concert that was a lot of fun was California Jam in 1974.
    Bands were:
    -Rare Earth
    -Earth, Wind & Fire
    -Eagles
    -Seals & Crofts
    -Black Oak Arkansas
    -Black Sabbath
    -Deep Purple
    -Emerson, Lake & Palmer

    It was crazy. Was in the Marine Corps. Went with a couple buddies. People were abandoning their cars on the freeway because of the congestion. Somehow, we managed to get our car in the lot. It was an all day concert. We spent the night before and the night of the concert in the parking lot. Came back after wandering around a bit and one of the guys traded our Blankets for Acid. Had a nice trip, but might've froze if the gal in front of me hadn't of found room for me in her sleeping bag. From what I can still remember, I had a great time.

    1980? 1981? It is all so fuzzy! :) It was an outdoor concert with Journey, Quarterflash and Foreigner.

    I'd never admit it in front of my friends, but... SOOOO JEALOUS! ; D

    My first concert was last year (I'm 16 and I didn't care about music much until last year :P) - it was 30 Seconds to Mars in Warsaw, Poland. Went with my friend and dad (-.-') Loved it!
    And can't wait for 8th November - gonna see them again <3

    My first was a San Francisco Jazz Festival. I don't remember much, but there were some great, famous performers that I do not recall. My first real concert was Rush about 1980. It was pretty amazing.

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs in London, at Koko. It was in 2002, I was 14. Karen O was cool enough to make me get my *kitten* in gear to lose my concert virginity.

    Sting at Radio City Music Hall..It was a few days after Hurricane Gloria hit Long Island and the power still wasn't on in my neighborhood..must have been 1984. My parents didn't want me to go because concerts were dangerous, so I told them I was going to spend the night at a friend's house. Of course, I got busted and in huge trouble... but It was worth it!

    My first real *big* concert was Garth Brooks in 1997 or 1998 in Indiana. I went with my family and I was just a kid, so things didn't get too crazy. LOL! My dad had to leave during the opening act (Trisha Yearwood) to take my little sister to my aunt's house, because it was too loud of her.

    I'm pretty sure it was Styxx. 1982/1983? An ampitheater in the St.Louis area. Kick butt. One of my alltime favorite groups.
