Heart

Just saw them last week...still sounding really good!

I hesitate to post this because I know you'll all be jealous - Paul Revere and the Raiders!

Ohhhh, I am jealous.


My first concert was the Osmonds..back in the Donny Osmond Puppy Love days. I think I was 7th or 8th grade so around 1970-1971 .

 

[HonnyDipp]

My first concert was Michael Jackson back in 1984 in NYC. I was 7

I forgot to add my first concert WITHOUT my folks

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Mark Walhberg circa 1992. DON'T JUDGE!

I'm jealous about ALICE COOPER. He was a personal favorite. I bought his greatest hits on a CD this past year. I still love him!

He was GREAT in concert! It was a huge show on the 4th of July with Louisiana's LaRoux and two other bands (can't remember the names). Fireworks were going off all over the stadium and Alice came out and told them to stop the fireworks or he wouldn't perform. Fireworks went silent and he put on a good show. He had the snake on stage with him.

I still have my old Alice Cooper albums. Have no clue what I intend to DO with them but just hate to get rid of them.

My first concert was New Kids on the Block at the old Giants Stadium. I'm going to see them again in two weeks!

 

[cousinbb]

wow... nothing like a feeling like a baby on the Community Board lol

My first concert was "The Gaithers" and I was like 6 or 7. My parents must of had an extra ticket or something

 

[AllisonK]

Ricky Martin in Boston in 2000 for my 11th birthday

First concert without my parents was the Spice Girls reunion tour in '08.

 

[Desnik]

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?

I was at the Coldplay concert last night too and it was the best concert I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of concerts!!

Anyway, to answer your question, my first concert was Menudo when I was I believe 8 years old. I saw them numerous times because my older sis & I were obsessed with them! That Robbie Rosa was just soooo cute!!

 

[honeydiane1953]

Paul Revere and the Raiders. LOOOOONG time ago. lol

 

[disney1990]

Herman's Hermits. At the time, I didn't know anything about their opening act "The "Who". They came out and destroyed their instruments and I was in shock. LOL

Since then, I have seen more concerts than I can name, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, John Denver, Springsteen (over and over again), Elton John, Billy Joel, John Denver, Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, the Monkees, the Bee Gees, and so many more.

 

[phorsenuf]

Cher at Caesars Palace in Vegas. 1980 (?)

 

[njmom47]

America...at the aforementioned Garden States Arts Center. I was probably 14 or 15.

OTOH, my kids first real concert was Stone Temple Pilots at Convention Hall in Asbury Park. They were probably 10 9 and 7. I when they took the binoculars and said "Mommy, he's wearing lace gloves and makeup!"

Oh, I am jealous of you too! You got to see the Beatles and The Bee Gees!!!! Those were 2 I always wished I could see. I would have been on the young side back then and my parents just didn't do concerts at all.

 

[Lemonademouth]

Spice Girls in 1997!

I won tickets, but my patents wouldn't take me. They had backstage passes too. I had desperately wanted to be sporty spice.

 

[ORMom2Four]

My first concert was The Wiggles

 

[dizcrazee]

Fun thread! The first one without my parents was Bad Company in 1978. It was a great concert. Ah, the good old days...

 

[DeaverTex]

This was in late 1968, I think. In Houston, at what everybody just called the Colosseum. The headline band was Vanilla Fudge, and the warmup band was Three Dog Night.

VF is LONG gone, but TDN is still in business last I heard, and Mrs. Tex and I were privileged to see them one more time about 10 years ago when they played for a nursing conference in Reno. Their 45 minute set went on for nearly two hours because we wouldn't let 'em off the stage, and they were having a ball, rocking out with pretty much everything they'd ever recorded.

 

[skater]

16 years old. Crack the Sky (Baltimore band). What I remember most is the marijuana being passed freely down the aisles. It was very open.
