What band did you go see for your first concert?

[CJHobbes]

I think my first big concert was some country festival in '96 or '97 where I got to see LeAnn Rimes and a few other big-named acts. I'm not a big country fan, so I don't remember who was there, but it was pretty cool. Shortly after that I saw Aerosmith on their Nine Lives tour.

It's great to hear about everyone's first concert. Good stuff right there! I thought I'd throw out another concert related question to keep this thread going. Do you know out of all the bands you've seen, who have you seen the most?

Mine would be a tie between Iron Maiden and Metallica as I've seen them twice.

Also I was curious (and if your original answer was your most recent concert than no reason to answer again) what was the most recent concert you've been too?

Mine would have been U2 360 Tour on June 4, 2011 at Qwest Field in Seattle. Great show. Lenny Kravitz opening up for em'. The place was packed, and even better, the tickets were free!

Alice Cooper, 1976, Anaheim Stadium.

Hmm, who have I seen the most... probably either David Byrne or Jane Siberry. I haven't seen any "really well known" artists in quite a while, I think the most recent may have been They Might Be Giants (Vancouver @ Richard's on Richards, 2004).

In the more "moderately well known" category, I've seen Jonathan Coulton twice in the past few years (Vancouver @ Rio Theatre). The first time around Paul & Storm opened for him, and it was an absolute blast.

I've seen Trans-Siberian Orchestra three times total, twice for their christmas concerts, and then in April on their Beethoven's Last Night tour, which was awesome.

Seen the most? AC/DC 5 times, Rush 3, Scorpions 3, Soundgarden 3.

Scorpions would be great to see! Lucky

I think the band I've seen live the most is Marillion, I think I've seen them live about 7 times now, including one of their infamous Marillion weekends (will have to attend the next one as well, since I live only half an hour away from the resort where they hold the European one these days).

Gazpacho takes second place with 4 gigs, and then there's a bunch of bands that I've seen 3 times.

Most recent concert was Pain of Salvation/Opeth a few months ago.

Manowar 15+ times

Scorpions would be great to see! Lucky

They were awesome every time.

Most recent...The Cult and Yonder Mountain String Band a couple of weeks before that.
