First concert - it's ok if mommy took you

[Bassomatic]

There are a few threads on the concerts you've seen and many members listed the first/only show. But I thought lets focus and list the first shows no matter how little you were. Let's set a tiny rule, post natal, lol.

If you wish list both first ever and first solo.

My first show ever, I was a tiny kid and saw Little feat. My mom told me as an adult, they just had my younger brother and smuggled 2 spare bottles of wine in knowing he was gonna sleep lol.

First solo show was a show I saw a few times before but the misfits.

 

[Sleeper13th]

The first concert I went to was Vans Warped tour in 2009. First Solo was White Chappel in 2010.

 

[Clown Baby]

First concert was Billy Joel. First solo was Blink 182 and the Vandals

One of the best shows I ever saw was warped tour 04... god I'm old. Who even was at 9? Warped tours were so good.

Very cool!

My first concert was solo actually. I went to Rock on the Range in 2015. I got to see Breaking Benjamin, Slash, Marilyn Manson, and my whole reason for going: Slipknot.

The ones I remember off the top of my head Anti Flag, Chiodos, Paramore, Silverstein, Alein Ant Farm, and The Adicts. Warped was great and it sucks that next year is the last.

 

[Gordon Cole]

First one: Iron Maiden

First one solo: Sum 41

 

[Gym Leader Elesa]

First concert I was babby. My mother took me to see Pantera. First solo concert (well, with a friend) was Mumford & Sons- my friend bought a ticket.

 

[Tootsie Bear]

My first concert was a small show in Boomtown casino. After losing most my money trying to score tickets for prizes, I decided to get some food before we left and watched a local rock/country band near the game room perform late at night at the bar. I even recall security telling me I couldn't sit there because my age, but you I could stand, yes stand, near the children's area while I ate. And there were plenty of open tables for me to both sit and eat my late dinner. Fucking butt-much!

Thankfully Smash Mouth, Weird Al, and three, yes 3, Tesla concerts later were really fun! Out of the three mentioned I do prefer Weird Al, but it was nice having my friend give me of his winning tickets, then we partied two old drunk ladies while Tesla rocked the Ace of Spades!

 

[Positron]

It was likely this singer, now an exalted figure in Hong Kong pop music (as well as one of my favorite singers in the world), then a saloon singer. I vaguely remember I offered her candy.

Yup, mommy took me.

As for the first concert that I bought my own tickets, it was Himekami in an arts festival. This, "Summoning the Swans", was the encore piece he played. I desperately tried to memorize this melody because back then I only had two or three of his albums.

 

[ES 148]

First concert was Handel's Messiah. Metal as fuck, dudes.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

Offspring in 1999. Lit opened for them. So 90's.

 

[Save the Loli]

I went to Metallica when I was 14 (many years ago). Lamb of God opened for them. I got to mosh with some big ass biker-looking guys (way bigger than I was and they all had some huge beer bellies). One biker guy grabbed me in the mosh pit and said "Kid, you sure you can handle this shit" and I said "Hell yeah". My dad took me there, but he helped me sneak down onto the floor (find the laziest looking security guy, there's always a few) with the hardcore fans. Shit was great.

 

[Charlie Delicious]

Kids! You're all kids!

Wierd Al's Alapalooza tour in 93.

 

[RichardMongler]

As a wee one, I remember going with my parents to see Luther Vandross.

At 18, the first concert I went to was GWAR with Municipal Waste and The Red Chord opening for them.

 

[escapegoat]

White Zombie. 1994ish.

 

[Molester Stallone]

Pantera in the mid 90's.

 

[heymate]

Ben Folds accompanied by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. That dude could shred the piano and he’s quite funny too.

 

[Piss Clam]

AC/DC back in black. Were going to see Elvis Presley, but the dummy died.

And yes my mom took me too back in black.

 

[flock of doves]

my first real concert was panic! at the disco and weezer on their tour back in 2016 (my reason for not going to any big ones before that is because well, crowds and sound. oof) there were some gigs i saw before that but we don't talk about those.
