So I thought I would see what everyones first concert ever was. Who got you into music? Also list other signifigant shows...this should be a pretty cool thread given the diverstiy of people on this forum.
First Concert:
The Jackson 5 in 1976.
I was in 1st grade, and it was a birthday present. Went with my parents. Not to be racist ,but I firmly believe we were the only white people in there! It was very cool, and I remember that I could not see over the people in front, so this really tall guy put me on his shoulders for a while. I have vivd memories of holding onto his huge Afro and watching the show
First rock concert:
Kansas - Vinyl Confessions tour 1980
This was the show that sealed the deal for me to persue a career as a performer.
First concert on my own:
Iron Maiden/Judas Preist - the # of The Beast/Screaming For Vengance tour
no adults. Huge group of friends. 8th row seats. HOLY CRAP!!!
"Just Desserts" concerts:
1. was at a show here in town where Nirvana opened up for Prong, and Nirvana got booed out of the club. Nobody knew who they were. We thought they were a crappy local act. they got chased out to their van...
2. on the Chilli Peppers Blood,Sugar,Sex Magic tour here in town Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins were the opening acts, and also got booed off the stage. People were throwing stuff at the Smashing Pumpkins by their 3rd song....

My first is a bit embarrasing. It was a concert called Edgefest held at the Molson Amphitheater in Toronto during the summer of 2001. The headlining band was Blink-182. The other bands on the bill included New Found Glory, Sum-41, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Jimmy Eat World, and Project Wyse. I was 16 years old. I actually had a good time though since it was my first legit concert experience. Plus my sister might have payed for my ticket, and I never went to another concert with that many females in the audience again.  My second concert is what I would consider to be the most significant show I've been to as it turned me on to 2 great bands. It was the following summer at the same venue, and Dream Theater and Joe Satriani were co-headlining. I went for Satch, but Dream Theater made the biggest impression. The other band I was introduced to was the opening act, King's X. Their sound was very much dominated by the bass in the mix and uneven, as expected for most openers, but performed well given the conditions. I remember they played "We Were Born To be Loved" and it sounded great. Some time after the concert, I picked up a copy of Gretchen Goes To Nebraska on cassette and was hooked. |

I think my first concert was Sean Lennon in 2005. My father knew the girl who warmed him up so even though I didn't like him that much I went, and I enjoyed! One of the main reasons I went was also that he is, of course, the son of John Lennon... My first prog, or progarchives gig, was, waiiiiiiiiiiiit for it.................. *DRUM ROLLLLLLLLLLL* Boom pash boo boo boom pash stagdish stagadoosh stagadish stagarararararararrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdrashpaboom. LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!!!!! I signed up for the tickets with my dad and it was almost impossible because the site was blasted! We managed to sign up but a few days afterward we got the e-mail that says you didn't get in. I was sad, but I moved on. I was playing Guitar Hero the next day, and I hear the phone ring. I'm in the middle of One's guitar solo on online co-op and I really don't wanna fail so I keep playing, but then I understand I'm addicted to the game and should at least take a break to answer a phone call! So I answer, and the first thing I hear is: "Pack your stuff son, we're going to London." Man that concert was awesome! ------------- http://www.formspring.me/Aragorn224" rel="nofollow - Trendsetter win! The search for nonexistent perfection. |

First concert: I suppose a classical concert, as a kid, with my parents. I went to quite some classical concerts with them. Maybe somewhere in 1975. First rock concert: Rainbow in... 1982 or something. My friends at school were into hard rock / heavy metal and I liked some of the stuff: mostly from the more progressive bands. I don't remember the Rainbow concert being good: just very noisy. First prog concert: Genesis in 1987. I had discovered them via a rock encyclopedia, and I had no friends who were into prog, so I went all alone to the concert (the first and only time that I did that). It was a bit disappointing. First real prog concert: Pink Floyd in 1988. A friend asked me to go with him and I was very impressed. |

First concert - Glasgow Apollo 1978 Eddie & the Hot Rods supported by Radio Stars (the Hot Rods bass player broke a string which I've never seen a bass player do subsequently) First Prog show - Peter Gabriel at Glasgow Apollo just after his debut solo album was released (I read somewhere that Robert Fripp played on that tour but was hidden from view 'off stage' - can't say I recognised his playing, so probably apocryphal) -------------

Mine was Deep Purple in the Stadthalle Bremen, Germany in 1973, just after they released 'Who Do We Think We Are'. Mark II lineup. Damndest thing: Rainbow didn't exist yet, and had a big rainbow spanning the stage. Weird. Now it's one of those WTF! memories. |

First gig: Rasmus in 1997, the pop rock band of today around their second album, which had a wild blend of funk, metal, reggae, hip hop and whatnot. Brilliant stuff. First big gig: Bruce Dickinson solo gig in 2002, I was a massive Maiden fan at the time and this was almost a dream come true. The dream did come true next summer when I saw Maiden in full force for the first time. First prog gig: Probably the two nights of Opeth I saw in 2005 supporting Ghost Reveries. Though the Wigwam gig I saw that year might have been before that... And I'm not sure whether the first Dream Theater concert I saw was before of after the Opeth dates, there was just few days difference. The best gigs: Two nights of Sigur Rós in late 2005 supporting Takk..., one sitting down, the other from the front row. I laughed, I cried, it was absolutely unbelievable. And the night after the second gig I got together with my girlfriend, who had already joined me to all of the 2005 gigs mentioned above. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

The first concert that I attended was Pink Floyd in Ahoy (Rotterdam, NL) on Feb. 19, 1977.
It was also the most impressive one (maybe because it was the first and I was a teenage laddie who still had to overcome his fanboyism). -------------

Not counting all of the festivals and bars I went to as a child (yes, that's true), my first major concert was Peter Frampton and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Tommy Shaw opened up for both of them, but all of us who went together had a prior engagement so we missed Shaw's performance (no biggie- none of us really liked Tommy Shaw at the time). Now I've got this friend (he drove us to the show- only one who could drive at the time, I think), and he's not that brightest crayon in the box (we pick on him all the time...it's a wonder he didn't pull into the next gas station and tell us all to f**k off and walk). Well, we arrived just as Peter Frampton was cranking out one of his lesser known tunes. After the song, our friend starts clapping sarcastically and shouting, "Okay! That's enough of Tommy Shaw! Bring out Peter Frampton." We all look at him, and one of us (might have been me) tells him, "That is Peter Frampton." At that point, he enthusiastically and genuinely starts cheering. We have never let him live this (or dozens of other things) down. My first prog concert was Yes's Masterworks Tour with Kansas opening for them. Kansas was supporting their new album Somewhere to Elsewhere (which is my favorite Kansas album), and Yes played eight songs in two hours. It was amazing. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

It's quite difficult to define the "fist concert" concept. Should I
count the free concerts at the folklore festivals, town anniversaries,
beer festivals or at the neo-protestant gatherings? If so, I don't
remember, but they weren't prog for sure I went because everyone else did (there
wasn't much else to do in our town, and sometimes they took place in the
square in front of my building). Classical concerts, carols, etc.
belong in the same category. The first time I went at a concert of any kind when I moved to the capital was in December 2001, a jazz concert by Johnny Raducanu (solo piano). The first time I went (and paid) to see an international band (of any kind) was at a Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation concert in august 2006. The first time I went to a club concert was in December 2007. They had Travka, a hard-rock/alternative band. Club concerts are the best! The first prog concert I've been to was a Kumm concert in 2004, but that was weird. I was walking on the street in a late evening, I heard noise and I entered a courtyard to see what was happening. There was a free Kumm concert and I stayed because I knew their radio hits, but I couldn't really understand/appreciate the rest of the material because I wasn't into prog at the time, at all. The next time I saw them (four years later) I was into prog, but they weren't anymore The first prog concert I've been to with the desire to see prog bands was in summer 2008. There were Israel Lights (math rock) and Yesterdays (symphonic rock) in the same lineup, and it was great. The first classic prog band I've seen was Magma in May 2009. That was also my first concert in France. |

First concert in 1983 by some band doing rock rock/pop/reggae covers. A kind of band that would play on a hotel terrace. First author rock concert was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOA_%28band%29 - Boa , (new wave with arty and proggy attitude) in late 80's. First prog concert: Leb i Sol, in 1994.

I certainly cannot. --- Countless classical concerts/recitals/events (not enough, though, since I nonchalantly skipped twice as many, and still do...). In contrast, only a handful of jazz concerts and, rarest of all, rock (regardless of flavour) ones. Earliest recital I can remember was when I was 5 years old. Local pianists' couple playing works for two pianos, at the Music School. I wasn't into playing music yet. Their son would later become my piano class colleague (and, slightly, rival). Full attendance, so I sat on the stairs, with the couple's boy besides me (how did he not get a seat??). I fell asleep halfway through. There must have been other occasions prior to that, given that I was taken to theater, festivals and such since I was 3, but I'll stick to the earliest thing I remember for sure. Bizzarely, I can't pinpoint the first time I went to hear the Philarmonic Orchestra (or even close to that). Of course I started going regularly since entering the Music School, when they didn't have their own building and were playing in our concert hall, but there's nothing notable about that, plus I went both casually and not so willingly, plus I don't remember anything in particular. First concert I saw in a different town was probably in Cluj-Napoca, mid-April 2004. Local Phily, but with invited guests (Russian conductor, Ukrainean? violinist, don't remember their names). Bartok's Violin Concerto was played, then Dvorak's Night. Both astoundingly. In this case, I don't think there were too many previous occasions, because when I travelled, it was either vacation and I had no interest in music, or I was competing and there was little time to treat myself with spectacles. Surprisingly, I became acquainted with Bucharest's musical scene much later. Never went to opera in my entire life. Leaving classical aside, first (but late, I was already 15 years old) came jazz (late september 2006). Al di Meola with Gumbi Ortiz, in my hometown. Also the first music festival of another kind. And also the first video bootleg I made (even if for myself). No stairs to sit on this time. Wild night. First concert elsewhere in my country (Sibiu/Hermannstadt) was Jethro Tull, august 2007. Of course, it was both the first rock and prog rock concert (which I find it awesome); rather the only one [prog] until now, unless I start thinking of jazz/jazz-rock artists that could be considered prog, something that isn't quite the same thing. I've just been to my first club concert two weeks ago (Urma). I can easily live without the club atmosphere and the two hours of music mix as "prelude", otherwise the concert wasn't bad at all. I do remember an open-air bar concert, years ago, although it was more of a "let's go out tonight and hear our friends play jazz in the town square" family thing. First and only concert in a different country was classical. Arcadi Volodos, in Graz (Austria), March 2009. One of the most memorable ever. -------------

Does this count ? Maynard Ferguson. He palyed at our school. Peter Erskine was on drums. Gordon Johnson did a freaky bass solo. First rock concert : Alice Cooper. Goes To Hell tour I think. First Prog : Grobschnitt Merry Go Round or Rockpommel's Land tour I think. They played Solar Music and had the big flying bird.. Concert was about 3 hours. Solar music was second half. I was only 16! On a school trip to Holland & Germany. The kid's big brother who I was billeted with had some sort of conection and snuck us in! Loudest concert : King Crimson Discipline tour. Fripp had some sort of octave divider he wanted to torture us with in the front row. Not good for my tinitus. 2nd loudest concert : Motorhead ( everything sounded the same ) ------------- |

My first concert was Yes on thier 35th Anniversary Tour at the Glasgow SECC in 2004. Other concerts were Rush, again at the Glasgow SECC and Wishbone Ash at Lochgelly in Fife. I'm going to see Yes again on thier next tour! My mum was the one who got me into prog, but my whole family are rock fans and musicians. I was brought up essentially on a staple diet of the following bands:
Led Zeppelin, Yes, Rush, Van Halen, Crosby,Stills and Nash, Black Sabbath, Wishbone Ash, The Allman Brothers, AC/DC, Bad Company, UFO, Return To Forever, The Steve Miller Band, The Beatles, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Uriah Heep and Steely Dan.
...and there's a hell of a lot more where that came from! However, those are the biggies...
