What Was Your First Concert? - Page 3

Isadora · 07-09-2010, 04:11 PM

April 1966
Sonny and Cher

I was a baby. We followed them to their hotel, climbed up to their balcony where Cher was horrified we would fall.

She invited us in...talked to us for an hour, asked how we were getting home and we said "hitchhiking". It was 2 am. I was 13. She said, "Oh no." She gave us 20 bucks for a cab.

I love Cher.

In 1972, I was 11 years old and went to my first concert, which was Bread.

I remember the smell of reefer permeating the air, because that's what people did back then when they went to a concert. I, however, never smoked reefer, then or any other time.

I am still an innocent.

the dead played at rich stadium every year.

i still own my dead bag and still use it just to whif the pachouli

Gemme · 07-09-2010, 08:06 PM

It was MC Hammer.

I've also seen Tiffany and *Nsync.

I went to a rap fest once. I couldn't hear right for two days because, as the day had progressed, I'd made my way closer and closer to the ginormous speakers. Hearing aid makers everywhere began rubbing their hands gleefully, I just know it.

My bestie dragged me to a lot of country concerts. Not many stand out in my mind, unfortunately.

We also went to a lot of concerts at Silver Springs, where a lot of has-beens and never was'es but coulda beens and some almost theres perform. Again, not particularly memorable.

I bought tickets to go see Kelly Clarkson, but had to cancel at the last moment. That really bummed me out. Love her.

Joan Jett.

My second concert was Neil Young and Neil was a grouch. People in the audience started clapping during a song and he stopped and yelled "If I wanted clapping I would have written the fucking song with clapping in it" and spit all over himself.

I guess it's hard to be an artist sometimes when people mess up your songs with clapping and shit.

Wow, what a prick
