First Concert

[Coolio Hernendez]

What was the 1st music concert you went to ?

Was it as life changing for you as it was for me ?

[crecco]

  Lets see, the first music concert I went to was Bob Seeger, and the last one I went to was Bob Dylan. With countless others in between. (but I am jealous too as I never got to see Pink Floyd either) Like a wide variety of music so I have seen Martina McBride to Ozzy Osbourn. And some of the better ones, Heart, Motley Crue (4 times) Hank Williams Jr, Bon Jovi, Poison, AC/DC, Confederate Railroad, REO, and even The Jonas Brothers (I took my grandaughters)
When you live in a small town, there is not a lot to do, so we drove an hour and a half to Evansville, IN any time there was a good concert.

The Beach Boys in the 70's were what life was all about back then .. they brought California to the East Coast .... their music was carefree and fun ... Was my first concert a life changing event ... you bet it was ..... it was freedom from any and all responsibilities the entire12 hrs I stood there .... freedom my parents allowed me to go ... freedom to be taken away by their music.  

I got sunburned badly that day.  That I wil never forget.

[jollyman069]

you all know without the beach boys pet sounds, there never would have been sergents peppers lonly hearts club band...god brian wilson what a musical genius, on the level of jiummy page and that is great as far as i am coincerned

[ChitChatNine]

Jolly - You are so right .. the Beach Boys back then ..... were WOW!
____

Rock -

John Denver was @ Madison Sq. Garden in the late 70's / early 80's

Peter Paul and Mary ...... now that is "simple" class along with Simon & Garfunkle... now I am really dating myself back to 8th Grade .. Bridge Over Troubled Water .... 8th grade concert choir .... 1973

I've quoted Dan Fogelberg on MedHelp often ... his song The Netherlands ... it's about making choices, and sometimes taking the path less followed ... clear choices and fear ...  one road is simple acceptance of life; the other road offers sweet peace..

No, never @ boring concert but was at a very boring Broadway Show .. so bad I cannot recall the name of it and we both left at intermission.  Favorite Broadway Shows:  Phantom of the Opera & Miss Saigon.

How about Beatlemania ..... now that was AWESOME ..... NYCity late 70's ......

sorry love music too much i am one of thoise that wishes it never ends.

[RockRose]

Ah,  the Beach Boys.  Very cool concert.  I wish I had seen John Denver while he was living,  he's still one of my favorites!  I saw James Taylor,  and Peter Paul and Mary,  very cool.

I also saw Cheap Trick,  ACDC,  and the Police,  although all three of them gave me a noise headache and I couldn't believe how long the concerts were.  Have you ever been to a concert where you're just wishing everyone would quit begging for an encore because it's already been way too long,  and boring,  and your date won't leave until the whole misery was  over?  Haha.

[jollyman069]

you named all great acts and it is sad two are gone actually 3 because the beach boys will never be complete any more

[ChitChatNine]

THE BEACH BOYS @ Giant Stadium in NJ . In the late 70's ...

Now ask me what my favorite concert was and it would be a toss up among:

Billy Joel
Dan Fogelberg - my wedding song "Longer" 25yrs ago
John Denver
Neil Diamond

So sad, two of the four are deceased :(

[BTS1022]

don't laugh at me....but my first concert was *the backstreet boys* lmao. I LOVED them. Actually I was pathetically obcessed lol. I still own every CD they ever came out with, and I have 6 or 7 HUGE binders full of magazines they were in. My fav member was A.J. McLean lmao. It's sad I know but OMG they were awesome back then lol.

[Quinns momma]

Mine was Whitesnake and Great White,
My husband Jeff was The Cult and Metallica!!

[jollyman069]

never got to see pink floyd i am jealous love them, yu know richard wright pased away this past week, best show i ever saw was zeppelin,  that was in 77. would have loved to see the giant floyd piug float over the stadium. sounds like we are old farts star......lol

[starfish1963]

First concert I ever went to was Pink Floyd, my older sisters friend back out at the last miniute, that was the begining of the end...I saw so many people in concert I can't remember...the best concert I went to IMHO was the stones, you had to send out a request (the did like six shows in the NY, NJ, Penn, Conn area) and if you where lucky you got tickets...I sent out I don't even remember, all I got back was postcards...I had to pay $150.00 for my ticket at a ticket trom but it was worth every penny to see Mic Jaggar come out on a hand throwing rose pedals at the stands...makes my knees weak just thinking about it lol
I saw a lot of bands in Manhattan before they ever got famous in clubs...like I said that was the begining of the end lol

[AnxiousGurl]

SWEEEEET CAROLINE.....great song...but I heard some weird story about it....ick.

Anyway Ive never been to a concert=(
But I would love to go see Bon Jovi

[jollyman069]

hey neal diamond is not washed up man has a voice that is unreal!!! god blessed that man with a set of pipes, wish i could go with ya

[RockRose]

Peek,  ME TOO!  I went to see David Cassidy in the Astrodome around  . . . maybe 1973?  It was a fabulous concert,  and then my best friend Debbie Thompson and I went down into the basement of the Astrodome (she knew that's where musicians were escorted out in secret) and we were there waiting for him when the concert was over,  in the dark basement.  Haha.  He was escorted down there and we were feet away from him,  trying to grab at him when security guards chased us.  We ran back up the stairs and disappeared into the crowd.  Whew,  wild wild times.

Yeah well guess who I'm going to see next month?  Neil Diamond,  another  washed up has been.  Can't wait.

Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along . . .

[Trialanderror]

The Who. I was still a kid. My brother had a ticket, I didn`t, so I spent all night drawing my own ticket. It looked pretty real but not real enough. The ticket booth guy had mercy and let me in for free, back in the day...

[Coolio Hernendez]

[Vance2335]

First concert I went to was Mirah Carey-Name spelled wrong. Yes I am a guy but the tickets were free.
Best concert I ever went to and was life changing was Pearl Jam at Madison Square Garden. Don't agree with their politics but it was amazing concert to see.

[jollyman069]

never got too see tom petty would love too great song writer, and on a very sad note Richard Wright the keyboard player for Pink Floyd passed away this week truly one of the greats

[Happy2girls]

Never saw Zeppelin.  Haven't been to too many concerts.  My favorite concert was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in Atlantic City, very intimate....we were so close I could see up TP's nose.
