Concerts, what was your first?

Some small gig in Sheffield 2 years back. Line up was Atreyu, Still Remains and some random unknown band called Engel who stole the show.
Overall, the gig was shit. The abundance of bass made Engel sound awesome, but destroyed the other bands' music.
Can't believe what shit I used to listen to...

Aerosmith at Hyde Park Calling in July 2007, when I was 14. Supporting were The Answer (I came in halfway through the last song of their set, sadly), Jet and Chris Cornell (before the whole RnB crap, yay). It was a brilliant show =D
Since then, I've been to see Linkin Park and Elliot Minor...I'm going to see The Answer properly in April and then AC/DC at the end of June in Glasgow ^_^
I just signed up to post here xD

Bjork, at the Union Chapel, Islington, in midwinter, close to my 21st birthday. I'd gone onto her website and they'd just posted that the tickets were available, I got most of the way through the registration process and then stopped because I didn't have a credit card. Didn't think about it again until about six months later when I got a call asking if I still wanted the tickets. I have no idea how this could have happened, to be honest.
The Islington Chapel is a tiny, ornate church in London, and it was lit only by candles, and it was entirely acoustic, backed by the Brodsky Quartet. It went on for over an hour, all the songs were completely new arrangements, and she did a version of Petula Clark's 'Downtown' that brought the house down. It was pretentious geek heaven and I don't think I'll ever top it.
My nose was full of soot when I got out due to all the candles. Yeah, thanks for that, Bjork.

I went to a folk gig there the other week, and there were candles out. They took them down and had real lights though. Wonder why...Psychedeliasmith said:
My first gig was, long ago, Green Day. It was a reasonable first gig I guess.
I think my first was Aaron Carter, a long time ago. He was popular in the nineties, so i had to be around eight. Yeah, my parents took me to a concert when i was eight.
My first that i wanted to go to and can actually remember was for The Academy Is... They arent particularly famous, but they are good, and there was also Cobra Starship, Armour For Sleep, The Rocket Summer, and one other that I can't remember. and yes, the ... is part of the band name.
