What band did you go see for your first concert?

My first concert was the Roger Waters Wall Live Tour '11/12 in Denver, on May 7th, 2012. No opening band.

and it was very insane, and very good too.

Wow, Roger Waters was my first concert in 1985.

It was....

Wait for it.....

Barney? 5000 people is nothing compared to the 80,000 deep I was in for KISS!

Wow, Roger Waters was my first concert in 1985.

I'll bet he was just as good then as he is now, if not better.

My first concert wasnt even a month ago. Maybe it was. My first concert was a unexpected free concert from Big & Rich at Michigan International Speedway after my first nascar natiowdide series race. (seen sprint cup there 4 times before) Unfortanatley, I don't really care for B&R that much. Only recognized the one guy because he was on Celebrety Apprentace. Only song I really know from them is "Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)" and that got overplayed back then. I like country music, just not them so much, so I just kinda stood there the entire time. Kid Rock was expected to be there, but he couldn't make it. It's a shame because I would have liked his stuff a little better.

My first concert was the opening night (2nd leg of the Tour) in Tucson, Arizona of the Motley Crue Dr. Feelgood World Tour '89/'90 on November 16, 1989. The opening band was Warrant, just FYI.

Curious on what other people went to go see as their first live concert.

You saw them exactly six years before I was born

Symphony X in 2007, I think.

Tim McGraw with Kenny Chesney opening, I was in Jr High I didn't know any better!

I've been listening to Kenny alot lately. Mainly his older stuff that I had already known. He'd be a better country singer to see live IMO.

I know I've said in the past that I've never been to a concert...

But now I'm getting memories of seeing a country artist at Jamboree In the Hills... I think it was Alan Jackson... but I was way too young to remember.

I lied about my first concert being B&R. It was actually Alan Jackson as well. Only issue was that I was too young I don't remember any of it. I have a very slight memory of being in the front row and him giving me a guitar pick in exchange for the M&Ms I gave him. But even that seems wrong.

Puddle of Mudd, Instruction, and Classic Case on St. Patty's Day 2004. I was a freshman in high school at the time, and only knew of Puddle, but the tickets were free and I ended up enjoying the show quite a bit. Instruction and Classic Case are much better than PoM, though.

Live during their Throwing Copper tour, ie: back when their music was still pretty good.

First prog gig was Marillion the year after during their Afraid of Sunlight tour.

No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom '97 tour, Nassau Colosseum. I still have the t-shirts somewhere. The Vandals (awesome) and Toy Soldiers (less awesome) opened. I was 16, my little brother 13, Mom drove us there and says she watched That Old Feeling (thanks, IMDb!) while waiting to pick us up. This also meant we needed to leave early, while No Doubt was on their second encore (Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da).

A few years later, Mom bought me the No Doubt Boom Box for Christmas, which included a DVD of that tour (probably one of the Orange County concerts) which hits all the right nostalgia spots for me.

KISS

1976...

Same concert... Bob Seger and my first intro to the great band, who I still love, J Geils Band.
