The Who in 1980 at the Kingdome in Seattle. Took the bus with my juvenile delinqint idiot friend, arrived near the parking lot scared out of my mind. Thought for sure that was my last day on earth after seeing the enormity of that sweaty insane crowd. Everybody was either drunk, stoned, hallucinating or all three.. Music was incredible and I didn't get pummeled or trampled.

From that point forward I found out that you can buy a ticket with a seat assignment printed on it.

I'll bet Mugg was there.

Offspring was the first in &#x27;98 and last one was coachella in &#x27;09. I was a bartender at House of Blues for some of the concerts and they just lost the appeal to actually go to any.

Led Zeppelin - 1971 (Madison Square Garden, NYC)&#xD;&#xA;Whoooaaa. &#xD;&#xA;#1 Bucket. You got it.

jamesxnj · Answer

1973 or so Black Oak Arkansas/Black Sabbath.Convention Hall Asbury Park NJ..Sweated the fact about first time holding/smoking weed.

Don't remember the last one..could have been Santana at the GardenState Arts Center late 80's or Tears for Fears at the Meadowland Brenden Byrne arena back then.Moved to FL in 92 and lost any motivation to see any shows except the BOC and no one to go with even locally at some club..

Joepa -Cars were cool..saw them back to back NJ/Philly Spectrum couple days with AC gambling in between..few hours sleep in the car here and there.

Going to LV in Sept and the BOC are playing on Freemont just a couple days before I get there..S**T

James: Santana in the late 80&#x27;s C&#x27;mon get back into the game.  Rock &amp; Roll never forgets!!!

jamesxnj · Answer

Goose cool garbage..Always missed LedZep and the Dead for some reason or another but didn't miss any Pink Floyd or Zappa..

Saw the Stones at MSG summer 1975..only concert I've ever been to where it was like an event where a lot of people were dressed up nice and not usual..opposite I'd say the Ramones/Patti Smith concert same summer or so in AsburyPark..haha

Nope, didn&#x27;t see that one. The very 1st show I ever saw was...............The Osmonds!   Nassau Coliseum back in the early 70&#x27;s.  My older sisters wanted to go &amp; the folks made them take me with them. First real big show was Led Zeppelin @ the Kingdome 1977. I was a frosh in HS &amp; had no idea what I was getting into........unfortunately it sounded pretty bad.  My last show shouldve been The Allmans but we ended up bagging it, so it would be "Flight to Mars", a UFO tribute band Mike McCready put together to play one show a year @ the Showbox in Seattle. This year Duff McKagens band opened for him........great show (should&#x27;ve been there MaineR).  But I&#x27;ve got Rush tix for 7/19 @ the Key.......then Tragically Hip in Sept., so my "last show" list is always temporary........I like to rock.

First Concert - I saw Depeche Mode with my older sister back in the mid-80's at "The Fabulous Forum". I was a young punk and all into hard metal at that age, and went in with a puss on about it, but she had a car, and it was a Saturday Night away from home...... So....... But.......

Honestly.......

They put on a pretty decent show. I remember lots of effects and lazers, lights and colors...... Pretty "ahead of it's time"......

First concert ....sometime in the early 70's..my foggy years ..Alice Cooper concert ..two fine chicks my buddy and I had just met wanted to see the show..my pal had the tickets and all the good stuff needed to get into a real good mood..can only remember,, that the music was good and Alice Cooper doing something with a boa constrictor while it was hugging him ..something with what looked like blood all over the place and in the grand finale hanging himself from a scaffold ..

It was a little more than the girls had bargained for.. so it was a real downer and a strike out with the lassies later that night..

Last concert attended ..that Alice Cooper concert..

King Crimson around 1974 my uncle just split up with his girlfriend so he took me as long as I didn&#x27;t tell my parents where we were going, tried weed for the first time that night.Trans Siberia Orchestra 2013  took the wife and kids, cost me a bloody fortune but was worth it seeing the kids faces enjoying their first concert

Dsn150 · Answer

First concert ever was Beach Boys...First big one was Van Halen- Fair Warning tour...Most recent was Boston/Kansas in May- both with adequate replacement vocalists (saw Kansas with S Walsh a few years back, so..)- finally got to see T Scholz though-Oddly enough- going to Van Halen reunion show in Sept...Enjoy Rush, Mugg- saw them a couple of years ago with Alice Cooper- they still bring it.....

ClubDirt · Answer

don&#x27;t remember if the first one i ever saw was Alabama with my dad or Styx with my friends.  probably Styx because if Alabama was my first concert, i probably never would have gone back.  saw Band of Horses a couple of years ago.

The Hawk · Answer

1974-Saw Edgar Winter Group (Frankenstein), with Rick Derringer on lead guitar. While waiting to get into the Oakland Mausoleum, the tour bus with the opening act drove in..............Bad Company!

Last one? Had to be in the 90s. Again, Oakland.

Jeff Beck opened for Stevie Ray Vaughn. For the encore, they played together, then brought out a local guy..............Carlos Santana!

BWS77 · Answer

Beach Boys played after a Browns pre-season game at Cleveland Stadium back in the late 80&#x27;s/early 90&#x27;s so that was technically my first concert.

What was the first big concert you went too? And your last one?
