    Since we have had teenage sons we took them to see Linkin Park twice, A Day to Remember twice, The Vans Warped tour and I would do it ALL again!!!

    my favorite concerts that i've ever been to would be the two Coheed and Cambria concerts. They're amazing live and i loooove claudio's hair. not to mention their music rocks (imo)

    my very first concert was Regina Spektor, in college. I lived in Vermont, no one ever came up there...

    unless you count Chris Cagle at the county fair, but that would be a pretty sad excuse for a "concert".

    My favorite band is Dream Theater, and I got to see them before Mike Portnoy left the band to tour with A7X. That was an AMAZING show, especially when they actually played my favorite DT song, "Home."

    My first ever "real" concert was Bush and Veruca Salt when I was 13. That was also the first time I ever smelled pot :) LOL!

    Believe it or not, the best show I've ever seen was Marilyn Manson. I won free tickets and was kind of reluctant to go,... but I was so glad I did! It's still the most memorable performance I've ever seen live!

    I love concerts and shows. When I'm not working I do freelance photography for local bands...

    This will TOTALLY date me...but my first concert was Simon & Garfunkel, 1983 or 1984, in Boulder, Colorado. I used to work at CU Stadium during football games and got to work at the concert. My first concert should have been The Who in 1982 when I first started working at the stadium...but my mom was like NO EFFIN' WAY! You're 12.

    My first "real" rock concert was Bon Jovi/Ratt 1985...AWESOME.

    Don't feel bad, I saw Donny Osmond recently (a few years ago). :laugh: My first concert I remember was George Strait. The last few concerts I have been to were John Mayer and/or Brett Dennen.

    first concert was Pantera when I was 14 or 15 - it was friggin awesome, and I was hooked afterwards. I used to go to concerts every weekend.....then I had kids. Now we never go anymore. Last concert was Skynyrd & Hank's Rowdy Frynds tour a few years ago

    A friend took me to see Nine Inch Nails for my birthday sometime around 1993? Marilyn Manson opened the show and at the time no one had heard of him...he came out on stage and started talking about some VERY inappropriate topics...it was super creepy but he was definitely a good performer!

    I would LOVE to see Myles Kennedy live with Alter Bridge. I missed them at the local radio station's fest this past year, and I've always had a thing for his pipes :)

    Plus, I would give a stranger's right testicle to see Faith No More. Mmmmmm Mike Patton..... Just to hear him sing "Midlife Crisis" live... that'd make my life :)

    RIght now, my favorite act is Ryan Adams.
    My favorite act emeritus is Bob Dylan.
    My first concert was - and it pains me to admit this - Jefferson Starship w/ .38 Special.

    Why pains? .38 Special was a great live act. I saw them open for ZZ Top.

    First concert was (get ready) Creedence Clearwater Revival. Booker T & The MGs opened.

    I like too much stuff to pick one favourite, if held at gunpoint it would be The Beatles.
