    I was there! Camped out for tickets at Oxford Valley Mall.
    Sadly, though, my first concert was with my mom in 1978(ish) - Dr. Hook and Sha Na Na. :blushing:

    I saw them as well with my parents...My Mom won the dance contest they had:laugh:

    MIne was The Ramones, Debbie Harry and one other band, but dont remember who they were. i was in grade 8, so late 80s, early 90s? None of my friends at the time liked punk music and I was dying to go, so my country music loving parents took me. My dad slept through the whole thing, except when Blondie was on stage :laugh: .

    Jimmy Buffet, like a boss.

    I was 6 or 7, and was terrified by the crazy get-ups people wear to those. My parents must have had an epic babysitter fail or something.

    Let's see if i can remember the year, I was in the 6th grade, so maybe 89 or 90. I spent the night out side of Ticketmaster to get a New Kids on the Block Ticket. Then a few weeks later my mom dropped me off at the Kingdome and I saw them...alone.
    Soon after that I discovered punk rock and never looked back.

    Billy Joel soon after Piano Man came out. Martin Mull was still doing stand-up comedy then and was the opening act!

    I saw Marcia Ball at a very small theater when I was about 4-5, so 1990 or 1991

    But my first REAL concert was Hanson at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan in 1998(?) I was in 6th grade

    Aged 15, Therapy? supported by Pet Lamb and Dig at the Cardiff Astoria nightclub in 1994. I don't know what it's called now. (If I'd only been able to go and see Carcass the previous year, but I was on work experience and my mother wouldn't let me. )

    I had tickets to go and see Nirvana, but Kurt Cobain shot himself some weeks before the show. :sad:

    It's almost a tie: Supertramp at Alpine Valley in East Troy Wisconsin. It was in 1979, I went with my brothers and their friends. Next night I went with my friend and his Dad who took us to see Sammy Hagar at UIC Pavillion in Chicago.

    I was in my 20s before I went to a concert....it was Tim McGraw, on his Everywhere tour...I was really hoping Faith was gonna be there, but it was one of his band members singing her part in their big duet at the time. It was opened by Sons of the Desert, and then Martina McBride, who was enormously pregnant at the time, sat on a stool for the most part. But damn she could still wail! Was awesome!

    I went to my first real concert when I was like 19. It was the Eminem, 50cent, Lil john and the east side boys concert.
    It was a great first concert. I stood by the stage the whole time and Eminem mooned the crowd on my side.

    Sooo hott!! Lol.

    Then I ended up working at the ampitheatre and going to many more concerts after that. :o)
