Your first concert?

Oldest is at Coldplay right now. His first concert.
I took his younger sister to U2 last summer

And my first The Police at Shea stadium!

I'd say we all had some great firsts. What about you? What was your first concert?

My first concert was the Beach Boys and I was in 8th grade.

My DD's first concert was also the Beach Boys and she was in kindergarten.

I've seen so many concerts I'm not positive who my first was. I know it was either Foreigner or Kansas. Could have been Peter Frampton too.

As a kid I used to see Engelbert, Tom Jones, Paul Anka, and others all the time but I was like 11-12 and my dad worked there. They didn't count.

My aunt used to take me when I was little to Carmen concerts at the Miami Arena (he's a christian artist). My first big act concert was Brooks and Dunn with Reba in 1998 (8th grade).

I also used to go to the Chili Cookoff concerts in Florida, and the free concerts at the horse track in Hollywood. That was a great place to see old 80's bands.

Haha! According to my 11 year old she has never been to a concert. Guess it's because I was with her .

As for me, my first real concert sans adult, was Led Zepplin, 1972. I was 12.

First one without my parents was Santana in 1968.

No Doubt with Weezer and the Lunachicks! I was in the sixth grade, and have seen them every time they have come through VA or MD. They are putting out a new album in September so I'm looking forward to a tour next summer! Green Day too!!
