First Concert

[iLikeHippos]

Well, that have to be a concert called Nordic Rock.

We had four artists on stage, all with 30-50 min breaks.
We first had
April Divine

Than we had
Nocturnal Rites

After that, there were
Skid row

And the last band, with the most value was
Europe, since that might have been their last live concert.

I never had so much fun singing to Carrie, 18 and life and jumping at Still Alive.

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

Motorhead supported by In flames and some shitty girll band! Fucking amazing!!!

 

[Felgy76]

First concert I ever attended, Divinyls. Was dragged along by a friend.

First concert I paid to go to was Disturbed, supported by Behind Crimson Eyes, Altar bridge and P.O.D.

 

[xanovich]

Rammstein, this year @ Arena Riga, Latvia. It was... Hmm, I can't even describe the awesomness!

Anyways, Combichrist is the best supporting band ever! I would love to see them headlining!

 

[SHWiMM]

KISS's Sonic Boom Over Europe tour. In Bratislava (the capital of Slovakia), in a great big football stadium with professional sets and lights. Fun times.

Edit: I actually went to Video Games Live in San Francisco a couple years back, so I guess that's actually the first one. But KISS was my first SERIOUS concert.

 

[Koeryn]

Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Christmas show with family in a football arena. Great show.

First non-orchestra concert would've been Flogging Molly. Great show that.

 

[Pandalisk]

My first Gig was a Sting Concert, was pretty good.

 

[Marter]

My first concert was Nightwish. I believe it was 2 years ago now.

Buried in my memory I remember my mom taking my siblings and I to a symphony when I was very young. Kindergarten-age maybe. The only thing I remember about it is that it was an outdoor concert and I remember not liking it.

The first concert after that was the one that played at the haunted house I was working at. A Kiss cover band called Destroyer was playing. I snuck out of my position to watch the concert and scare people in the crowd (so it looked like I was still working) but my boss caught on after a few songs and ordered me back to my position.

So the first concert that I attended, for real no fooling, was the Three Days Grace concert in Detroit with... uhh... I don't remember. Or was it the Killswitch Engage/Dragonforce concert? I don't remember. My timeline is screwy.

My first was dc Talk waaaaay back in the day. I think I was in 4th grade or something? After that, it would have been Styx when they came to Fort Wayne, IN. Great show in the Embassy Theatre, which is where our Philharmonic plays. Which means every seat it great and it sounded amazing

 

[antidonkey]

Well, my first concert was Alabama when I was a kid. My parents took me. I guess it was cheaper than a babysitter.

My first concert worth seeing was White Zombie. For some reason I can remember who opened for them. It's been a while.

 

[child of lileth]

My first was Children of Bodom, at a small club in Pittsburgh. This was back before they got so Americanized, and almost everything they had on studio albums at the time was good. These days, I'm a little ashamed to admit I saw them.

 

[The Root Beer Guy]

My first concert was Linkin Park on their Meteora tour. You know, back when they were pretty good.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Electric Six live at the University of East Anglia. I went with my dad.

Unfortunately we got the tickets when they were still pretty popular, but we saw them after they'd already begun to fade. I liked most of their songs, but they jerked the audience around too much and held off playing Gay Bar until the encore. Seriously if they'd even played it as the closing song of the main set it would have been better.

Disappointing night all round.

 

[Miumaru]

Mine was Nine Inch Nails, one fo their last ever too apparently. It was AWESOME!
Unfortunatly thats also the only concert I ever gone to...

 

[neoman10]

Eric Clapton, which is an awesome first

 

[Iznat]

Simon and Garfunkel, and I was far too young to appreciate it.

Then I saw Avril Lavigne That wasn't very good either

 

[tehweave]

First concert: Modest Mouse headlining with Band of Horses and Love as Laughter. It kicked ass.

LaL was okay, a nice generic rock band. BoH is pretty awesome, but MM is now one of my top 5 favorite bands right now.

 

[SmartIdiot]

Muse at the Glasgow SECC. Great gig, shit venue. Don't go there if you value acoustics, particularly the bass sound.

First concert I remember was Video Games Live in 2005-6. Halo 2 had just been released and everyone was waiting to hear the Philharmonics play it.

They played the Metal Gear Solid theme first and had two people on stage acting out Snake and one of of his many, many victims.

Was an awesome experience overall.

That sounds freaking awesome, where was it?

1999 - Powerman 5000, Static-X, Dope and Chevelle

Pretty sweet show, nearly broke my arm crowd surfing.
