TheRus 0 #1 June 19, 2003 What was your first concert? So many people have been talking about birthdays and how old they are and such that I started to get curious about this kind of stuff. My first concert (dear gods, I can't believe I am about to admit this...) - Elvis in Shreveport, LA when I was about 3-4 years old. I can still remember almost the whole thing. Yeah, it's fine, we'll walk down the line. Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine You my friend, I will defend... and if we change, well, I love you anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FliegendeWolf 0 #2 June 19, 2003 I saw Traffic in 1995, one week before I saw my first Dead concert. How bittersweet are those memories. I caught six Dead shows before Jerry died, and my first and last concerts were both at RFK in D.C.A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadySkyDIve 0 #6 June 19, 2003 Peter Frampton, 1980 (9th grade). Friends went looking for a joint but came back with a pack of cigarettes instead. Still thought that was cool in 9th grade. Took me 14 years until I could quit smoking though!! But, just hit 10 years without cigs!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadySkyDIve 0 #9 June 19, 2003 Last Dead show I saw was at RFK in '87. Bob Dylan and Tom Petty opened for him. I remember that Dylan was in leather pants and I thought - geez, it's 100 friggin degrees out here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebazz1 2 #14 June 19, 2003 I went to an REM concert at the Shoreline Ampitheater in 1989 and a Steve Miller & ZZTop concert at the San Jose state university in 1989... Can't remember which was first but those where the two first shows I remembr going to on my own with my friends... Damn I was a sophmore in high school back then. Edit: I am quite certain my folks took me to a Dead show or ten when I was very young Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,485 #18 June 19, 2003 Probably Frank Zappa when I was 17. It was an awesome concert, too. Their encore was about 30-40 minutes of jamming. The other choice is Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fozchek 0 #19 June 19, 2003 Porno for Pyros. I think I was like 15, or something. Mildly traumatic. I never got to see Jane's Addiction, so that was a close second... until I got to see Perry Farrell wandering around town all the time, back when I lived in Venice Beach.
