What Was Your First Concert?

#1 Black Sabbath with Ted Nugent opening at Madison Square Garden.
So the first thing i ever heard at a concert was Ted Nugent yelling - "If you motherfuckers want to be fucking mellow, get the fuck out of here!"

#2 was Patti Smith (horses tour) with papa john creach opening on fiddle.

(both 1976 i believe)

I went to all kinds of country/gospel concerts with my family when I was growing up, but I didn't consider those to count. It only counted when I went to my first concert on my own...lol

Summer Sanitarium Tour 2000
System of a Down
Powerman 5000
Korn
Kid Rock
Metallica

It was a hot as hades day standing in the infield of the Rockingham Speedway all morning/afternoon/night watching this awesome bunch of musicians. Got there at 5am and left the following 3am. I slammed and got slammed in the mosh pits. I almost got struck by lightning while standing atop the giant METALLICA tower. I was bashed in the head by empty AND full beer bottles. I passed out from the heat. I had folks pouring $6 bottles of water over my head to bring me back to consciousness. I fought my way off an EMS stretcher to get back to my place by the stage. I was front and center against the rail for most of the acts, and got to actually talk to most of the bands. (Kid Rock was the only asshole that day...) I was soaked to the bone, first with sweat then with blood then with rain. It was the most fun I've had in my life...LOL
