First Concert

What was your first concert and where?

Mine was Bad Religion at House of Blues in Anaheim. I think it was March 26, 2008

MxPx at the Del Mar Fairgrounds sometime in the summer of 2001.

Bruce Springsteen, PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Summer of 2003. Undeniably the best way to experience your first concert, I think haha. I remember it being an absolute religious experience.

Bon Jovi at Lansdowne Road, in I think 2001. It was awesome.

The Killers, 2008! I was very sheltered.

Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, and Against All Authority at the Agora in Cleveland, August 16, 2007 i think

it was awesome

Mine was a local ska show at a skate park with no outlet and censored, it was awesome

Verve Pipe in Baltimore in 97.

Green Day, Milton Keynes Bowl 2005.

Live pretty much nowhere so hardly got to any gigs before a couple of years back. Got 4 lined up this year already.

Atomic Kitten, Glasgow SECC, 2004-ish.

We were in Glasgow anyway, and my mum and sister wanted to go see them, so my dad and me just tagged along. Upside is that I got my first guitar in Glasgow that evening.

@ massie
i had to laugh at your post cos i know a lot of people whose first concerts were like yours

first concert: i was 12 years old and went to see "Fettes Brot" @ "Bad Gastein", Salzburg Country

Rancid @ Southampton Guildhall back in 2003 was 14 and was a fucking epic experience my mum also snuck in by smooth talking the bouncers she loved it (she was waiting outside to pick us up.) It was all downhill from there in 2008 I saw 83 bands or something stupid I stopped counting from then.

my first concert was Mark Knopfler a few years ago. pretty good show.

first rock concert was Green Day last year. amazing.

I saw rancid in June open up for Rise Against. They blew me away. They should have had Rise Against open for them.

Nope, it was billed as Billy Talent, Rancid and Rise Against heading.

Sting in 2004 or '05. Very disappointing. He acted totally bored.

Third Eye Blind at the State Fair when I was probly in 8th grade

I don't like 3EB that much but that could be fun. At least everyone would know all the words.

What do you mean, "at least everyone would know all the words"?

Their songs were all over when they were in their prime. I don't even listen to them and I could sing along.

oh haha. true. "doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo" is not too hard to sing along with...

mine was 1999 and it was Status Quo followed by STEPS the week after!!

shall i just leave now?!

The Darkness - Botanic Gardens, Belfast - Summer 2005
Support was Ash, Jurassic 5 & Goldie Lookin' Chain!

Ash totally rocked the place, came on stage with a Flying V on fire and I was hooked! Totally blew The Darkness outta the water!
