Your First Concert

[volinbham]

Mine was at the Civic Coliseum in Knoxville.

1978; Eighth grade.

The first band was called Target.

The second band was Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band touring for Night Moves. I thought they played way too long but in retrospect it was a good show worthy of a headline.

Main band was Black Sabbath. Lot's of fog. Ozzy was the only one not dressed in black. He had a strobe gun for Iron Man. It was awesome.

It was the first time I smelled weed and saw it. Back then, rolling papers came in colors. There were pink joints, blue joints, yellow joints and of course white ones.

 

[Electric Orange]

Good times it sounds like. First one I remember was when I was in 6th grade I went to see Korn at Phillips Arena.

Won tickets from the Boys & Girls Club back in '90 or '91 for Janet Jackson, me and my Mom went.

First actual concert that I paid for was AC/DC at Thompson-Boiling Arena in 1997.

Was a pretty amazing show, I remember Angus playing what had to be a 10 minute solo, making his way through the crowd onto a podium that lifted him about 10-15 feet in the air. Was pretty cool.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

First concert was Wallflowers and Counting Crows at Starwood in 1997.

First concert I went to where I liked the bands was Godsmack and Metallica at then Gaylord Entertainment Center.

 

[Slydell]

I've seen so many, it's hard to remember the first. Also, a long time ago. Would've been a MoTown thing. Smokey, 4 Tops, Ben E. King, Chuck Jackson, Tams or somebody like that.

Black Label Society should have been mainstage, Mythods/Godsmack/P.O.D./Static-X all suck.

QOTSA are great though, studio wise anyway, how where they in concert? Been listening to alot of them lately.

Alabama at the Jackson Coliseum in about 1983.

 

[SURFSIDEBEACHVOL]

Back in the 60's WFLI in Chatt used to put on Concerts at Memorial Auditorium. I attended two of the shows in 68 and 69 that featured Paul Revere and The Raiders,Grassroots, Guess Who and others.

I was only 8 or 9 but I thought it was very cool.

Wish I could find a list of all the bands that played in those shows.

 

[kev20]

The Steve Miller Band with Paul Rodgers opening at Pine Knob, 1990, I think.

When I was a kid my parents took me to a Willie Nelson show (I think in Jackson, TN?).

The first show I saw on my own was Joan Jett opening for Aerosmith at Starwood in Nashville. That was the spring of '90 not long after I turned 18.

Coincidentally, I went to my first ever gentlemen's club after the show. Deja vu.

It was a helluva night.
