I found the album thread quite interesting and was wondering what your first real concert was. I'm not talking about concerts that were part of a sporting event or a state fair--though those are fine if that's what you remember. I'm referring to your first freakin out about getting tickets and rockin' the night away waiting for the headliner to take the stage and lovin' every minute of it.

Mine was Leon Russell. Man that night was awesome. Wow. Amphitheater, sitting on the grass with all sorts of crazy folks, relaxin and learning about what those folks were smokin. I went with my dad.

Share if you'd like.

My first real concert was Tori Amos in Philly. Strangely enough, when I went to see Depeche Mode at the same venue...I had the exact same seat.

*Insert Twilight Zone music here*

Best concert? DEFINITELY Dropkick Murphys!!!

I've been to a lot of gigs over the years.

One of the best concerts I've attended was last year. It was during the MTV Europe Music Awards in the capital of Scotland.

During the awards ceremony, there was a small concert called MTV in the Gardens, which was held in Princes Street Gardens below the castle.

It featured bands like Jane's Addiction, The Chemical Brothers and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
I was roughly three or four rows back and it was an unbelievable experience! The Chemical Brothers never fail to deliver..

One of the highlights was seeing Vin Diesel appear on stage in front of the crowd too.

The best (smallest) gig I've attended so far was this year. Kelis was playing at the Liquid Rooms during the Edinburgh Festival.

It was the sweatiest gig I've attended! (The crowd were gathered in a small, dark basement room.)

Her performance was REALLY memorable. The crowd were wild! She also signed posters and t-shirts after the gig which was cool.

My mom took me to Tom Petty when I was three. It was the 'Long After Dark' tour. I still remember it.

Fall of '81, my college roommate got me tickets to see Genesis two days after my 18th birthday, and even lined up a date for me, a girl I'd not-so-secretly had a crush on. I found out enough about her that night to kinda ruin the crush, but the concert was GREAT. Only wish I could have seen them with Peter Gabriel....

My very first concert was Cat Stevens in 1970. Isn't life strange?

Mine was Frank Zappa and the Mothers with Captain Beefheart in 1974 at the Music Hall in Boston. That was the same tour that they recorded the "Bongo Fury" album from. Unfortunately, that was also the best concert I ever went to (other than classical). Nobody I ever saw after Zappa was as good.

I've heard that was an incredible show. My aunt and my dad are always playing that stuff for the younger kids. I'm jealous.
