I’m dating myself really badly, but I went to see WAR with the Tower of Power Horns at age 13 for my very first ever concert. I went with my mother and her boyfriend. It was cool. Until someone tried to pass me a party joint. I thought my mom was going to freak right smooth out.
This was also the very first CD I ever played on my brand new CD player (it was a few years ago).
First Record (dating myself!): James Bond’s Theme tunes…. lol I was 8, James Bond was King!
First concert: Guns N Roses, Faster Pussycat and the Quireboys. Got scalped tickets outside the gig 3rd row from the front, bootleged it with a tape recorder, blew me away, never looked back and went to concerts like they were going out of fashion.
Last Concert : Korn, Disturbed and some other dudes, pretty good, but felt my age and lack of long hair.
Best concert : Iron Maiden, Kiss, Megadeth, Anthrax, David Lee Roth and some others, Donington, UK 1988.
I’d never even heard of Faster Pussycat that first time (GNR either, it was before they broke it big!) They played a killer set, including Babylon when they all changed instruments… I bought the album on the way to work the next day (and apitite for distruction the following pay day, and the Quireboy’s single for that matter). after that I was hooked on concerts, I saw so many bands I lost count, only ever saw Pussycat once more but you always remember your first!
