What was the first live concert you ever went to? Mine was Spice Girls about 9 or 10 years ago now!
Mine was The Rolling Stones about 5 years ago :)
I've never been to one before. I mean, unless you count talent shows at the high school where 1 or 2 local bands play in between acts.
Vans Warped Tour 2006 in Columbus.
**** sucked.
My little sister goes to see that every year. Did you go to see 3 Doors Down or what?
Oh, and it's totally cool since I've seen a ton of Christian rock bands live, and Fall Out Boy and Simple Plan twice.
Projekt revolution last summer... it had like 12 bands I think hmmm
Linkin Park
MyChemicalRomance
Him
Placebo
Juilien-K (lol someone in that band reminded me of a nobody from KH2)
Taking back Sunday (the singer actually did some cool **** with the mic)
The Bled
Madina Lake
Saosin
Styles of Beyond
and Mindless self indulgence :)
Only real concert I've ever been to was the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Portland. Other than that, all the shows I've seen have been in churches.
edit: and not the first unitarian one!
I don't get why you like them. They're like a Southern version of Nickelback.
Why does anyone like the music they listen to? Because I like their sound.
Bush X I believe around 1997. Never did like the band, but my dad got my sister and her friends some tickets and one of the security guys let me and my dad in for whatever reason. I don't remember much of it though.
After that would be Supertramp a year later.
My first big one was the Big Day Out festival last year... with Tool, Muse, The Killers, Jet (eww), John Butler Trio, Trivium (they played well, although the fact that Master of Puppets got the biggest reception says everything about them), My Chemical Romance etc. Worth it just for Muse and Tool, really.
Aside from ****ty local bands, nothing. It was supposed to be Therion a couple years ago, then Leaves' Eyes this April, but both bands canceled. Nightwish is supposed to be coming (right lol) but I'm not even sure I want to go anymore, not unless it's Tarja.
Which it won't be. New girl's better anyway.
The Hives, and then The Killers later that week in 2004. The Killers concert ended prematurely because of a mini-riot.
3 Doors Down when I was 14. Awful show.
Eh, Anti-Flag didn't put on too bad a show. They still suck, but I wasn't hating being there during that one.
I think it was...Offspring? Maybe Jewel.
Rush about 5 years ago. It would have been pretty amazing had it been louder. I mean, it's my first concert, and I still think it's too quiet? Jee wizz.
Saw Infected Mushroom and Junkie XL back on June 24th, 2005 with a certain other VGCer. Had a blast, though admittedly that's one of the only concerts I've been to in my life (aside from seeing Beck in early '06, which was also great). Of course, once my inevitable 21st birthday comes around in a couple of weeks, that'll soon change, as I'll have so much more open to me than before.
Bamboozle this past April. I definitely liked it. Saw bands like Taking Back Sunday, Linkin Park, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Yellowcard, Relient K, Secondhand Serenade, Daphne Loves Derby, Fair to Midland (which was amazing), Sherwood, Weird Al, Jedi Mind Tricks etc etc. I also went to the Knitting Factory last February to catch Daphne Loves Derby, Paulson, Walking Ashland and a few other bands.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra this past December. I wont be forgetting it anytime soon. Worth every penny of the $60 cost of admission. Lol, here's some video from it (finale):

certainly makes me regret missing them this year.
"Hey David I'm gonna go buy some TSO concert tickets right now" - Is what my dad said to me.
One week later.
"Haha forgot to buy tickets and now they're sold out whoops!"
for such a musical community i'm fairly appalled at the lack of shows most of you have seen! i know i've seen at LEAST 30-40 big/growing bands or artists or acts whatever seen my first show (audioslave) in 01. get on them concerts, vgc
Haven't been to any major concert in a few months. But every year I go to around 100 or so.
My first concert was Bad Company about eight years ago.
I was 15, not yet really into music yet, and Weird All was on tour. The rest just kinda happened.
My First concert was the TMNT concert, when I was 5, as for music, I think it was when I was 18 and it was a Kutless concert, also featuring Falling up, Disiple, and Stelar Kart.
Don't know?
