Your First Concert

Featured Replies

It was either Ratt/Quiet Riot or Rick Springfield/Corey Hart. I can't remember which came first.
That's sort of a matter/anti-matter selection. :cool:

What was the first concert you ever attended? I'm talking real concert - not the high school dance or the local battle of the bands.

 

Fess up. No matter how uncool it was, we're not here to judge you. We promise not to laugh if it was the New Kids on the Block or the Spice Girls (well, we won't laugh out loud, anyway).

 

I'll be brave and go first. The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt in Landover, Md.

 

Cheap Trick. Riverfront Coliseum. 1980ish??????:dancingpa:dancingpa

Oasis and it was amazing! But the lead singer is just a total arrogant jerk.

Were they an English Rock band?

 

I don't think so, hence my not thinking they were THE Muse. But I honestly don't remember that well.

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullett Band- Rupp Arena 1980

 

Tickets $15.

shirt $7

hearing/seeing Turn the Page live-priceless

My first concert was actually at Whitley County High. Chase (only hit was the high school band favorite "Get It On") in the spring of 1974. It was also the most boring concert I've ever been to. Nobody was allowed to approach the stage or stand and get crazy. I hadn't quite turned 16 yet.

 

My first concert, that was fun, was the J. Giles Band at Morehead State in 1976.

The Oak Ridge Boys, Rupp Arena. Early '82 I think.

ELVIRA!! :ylsuper::lol::lol:

Chubby Checker and the Fatboys at the Executive Inn in Paducah.

^ Not to be confused with Mahogany Rush. Anyone else remember the strange urban legend re. their lead guitarist?

 

The great Frank Marino. In fact they still tour. I saw them this summer at Durty Nellies in Chicago. Did a real nice rendition of All along the Watch Tower. For the younger folks who like the old style heavy guitar rock and roll I highly recommend doing some youtubing.

First was actually Johnny Cash at the Kentucky State Fair.

 

As a teenager, my first rock concert was KISS with special guest New England in the late 1970's. It was awesome. A floor seat at Rupp for this show was either $10 or $11.

Joan Jett and 38Special.

AC/DC "Back in Black"

:thumb: Love me some Jethro Tull too.

 

Who woulda thought I'd like the flute? Never gets old.
