Music, please!

[kateykakes]

Who is the first musical performer/band you've seen, and how old were you?

Now don't laugh, but the first band I saw was the Bay City Rollers. :eek: I was probably 11 or 12 years old at that time.

The next year, the BCR were all but forgotten. I went to see Aerosmith, and oh man, was it ever an incredible concert.

I love hearing live music. I've seen a lot of bands and performers live, with Mellencamp probably being my fave, and Dave Matthews the worst I've ever seen. If I could afford it, I'd go to a show every week.

Special note to Jellybean: Passing on the Fez this year. I really wanted to go, especially to see Our Lady Peace. I'm disappointed, but I had to choose between two shows: The Feztival or Godsmack. Sully wins hands down. :D

The Brothers Four, at the University of Washington Varsity Ball. :D

[kateykakes]

LMAO Blondie! You are too funny. If anyone will be s******ing, think about the choices...Motely Crue vs Bay City Rollers! Talk about embarrassment! :o

[RachelR]

I don't go to many concerts but the first artist I saw in concert was Celine Dion many years ago. I just recently saw Journey and Peter Frampton.

My older brother took me to see the Beastie Boys when I was 12. My parents were ****ed when we came home at 1 am, but it was worth it.

[Copper2be]

Honeymoon Suite when I was 17 in Halifax, NS.

Eddie Rabbit at the Washington County Fair & Rodeo. I guess I was about 9 or 10. I don't remember much about the concert except there wasn't very many people there, I got front row seats and he had a huge belt buckle filled with rhinestones.

By far the best concert was Dwight Yoakum and KD Lang. The absolute worst was Hank Williams Jr.

[Mitzi]

I saw Sonny and Cher just when they were becoming famous, then I saw the Beach Boys and (no s******ing) Paul Revere and the Raiders and then my all-time favorite, Conway Twitty! (I hear you s******ing!!!!!!)

[mac90]

Steppenwolf.

[shooter1201]

Johnny Cash, 1971. I was 9 years old, I think. I HATED it. Give me Aerosmith ANY day......! :D

[MacLeod]

The first band I saw live were called RunRig, I doubt any of you will have heard of them but they rocked. I was a late starter at 18 years old, but then not many bands came to my wee town.

Ahhhh MAC, lucky you... I love Steppenwolf!

The Rolling Stones, I think it was the Steel Wheels tour. In Death Valley at Clemson University. I was in my early teens and I smoked my first ever....... :eek: when Honky Tonk women was being played.

[wonderwoman]

Did you inhale? :p

Three Dog Night way back when I was about 18-20. Interesting little note. The opening act was some dude named Rod Stewart with a band named Faces! Rod Stewart? The same one? Yes, it was! He put on one hell of a show back then. :eek: :eek:

[Steve in PA]

You wanted the best.....you got the best.....the hottest band in the land......KISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cajuncop]

No matter how hard it is for me to admit to it, I won't lie...Night Ranger. That's right, I said it.

Oh and I believe I was around 10 when I saw 'em.

[jellybean40]

God that is really hard to remember for me... i think it was Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, at the Tower Theatre in Philly, circa 1976.

I've been lucky to have seen so many, and i'm still going. The band i most regret not getting to see was Sublime.

[JKT]

Showing my age here; :o

Anybody remember "The Cowsills"?


I was about 11 at the time. :eek:

[Metro174]

My first was Crystal Gayle way back when. Seen a lot of concerts since but the best has to be Southern Culture On The Skids. Seen them three times now and they never fail to entertain. Every show IS a party. Always in a small venue. Like being with your friends in a basement. Rick Miller is probably the most under rated guitarist around and Mary Huff......the thigh high boots, the mini skirts the wigs....I'm in lust! ;) Saw them back on the 3rd of July. Even got to hit Cousin Crispy with a chicken wing!
