My parents got me Faith Hill/Tim Mcgraw tickets for my birthday (spontaneous combustion). I was so excited when Faith came out, I just couldn't figure out why everyone was sitting.
Most recent great show? The Corrs in cleveland. Fan-freakin-tastic; I wouldn't shut up about going for months ahead of time, and drove four hours to get there.

First concert I went to was the Police Synchronicity tour in Dallas. I went with my friend who got tickets because her mother was a polo instructor. Stewart Copeland played polo at their club, ate dinner with her family, and gave her tickets to the concert. SO, no I didn't get to meet SC. oh well.
I can't think of a concert that I got to go to that I really was dying to get to. :/

First concert when I was 11--The Monkees 1986 reunion tour(even though Mike Nesmith wasnt there--hmmm?) the next concert wasnt until 5 years later that concert?---Nine Inch Nails--so my music changed a bit,but my best concert---gosh as much as I love every show that I have seen of Joseph Arthur(7 shows--8 is coming up in mid dec in nyc)i gotta go with the man who really changed how I listened to music(kevin before--pop stations owned by clear channel---kevin after--i listen to everything!--except country,sorry) anyhoo that mans name---PETER GABRIEL,the show was his last tour Growing UP 2002 tour at the MCI center in Washington DC---I had shitty seats(damn you ticketmaster and your idiotic ways of selling tix!)but I didnt care because here I was seeing the MAIN artist other than Joss Whedon(and 2 comedians-Brian Regan and Bill Hicks)that really changed my life---in other words his music wanted me to explore not only other types of music but other parts of life,I honestly do not know if I would have given a show entitled Buffy a chance if it wasn't for PG's music.Hey call me overdramatic but it's how I feel.

Well, I started going to concerts when I was young, not that I've been to a lot. I think my first was Billy Joel back around "Innocent Man" if not earlier. however, the best shows I've seen were Marillion in '89 "Season's End" and Marillion last month '04 "Marbles" which I drove 7 hours for. I got all their autographs after the show both times. they're great people.
Other shows of note: The Cure "Wish", and Pink Floyd "Division Bell".

No laughing now!!! I listen to all kinds of music, but prefer comfort to mosh pits hehe.
My first concert was a Peter, Paul and Mary Concert at the Chautauqua Institution in NY. It was awesome!!
I'm more of a "Buy the CD" and enjoy it in comfort type of person. Especially nowadays when lipsynching and bad live performances don't make the cost of a ticket worth it. Although I saw Sting and Tracey Chapman (she actually sounds better live..whoulda thunk it :) ) a couple years ago and they were unbelieveable.
Although I would pay to see U2 live.
