nikki - got ya beat darlin'...I was 13 and my Dad dragged me to see his fav. Tina Turner openning for Lionel Richie. That was 20 some years ago.

I;probably;went to my first concert;before most of you were born!
I graduated from High School at 17yrs old.I;enlisted;the same year.My folks had to sign for me to enlist;because you have to be
18 to sign for yourself.The concerts;were before that and that was 1961! Irish

well heres one to top you LOL

Liberace in Melbourne a very long time ago He was very good and a wonderful pianist and entertainer. The next one I went to was Slade that was totally different. Coming from Tasmania with a small population and being sperated from the Australian Mainland by sea, we had very very few international acts coming to the state. That is the case even now :(

I'm not sure which act I saw first it was either
David Allan Coe
Or
Charlie Daniels
I've seen both on numerous occastions !

First Concert...15 years old, 1985 Motley Crue on the Theater of Pain tour....
Last week went to Ozzfest and Dope.
Most memorable show...Monsters of Rock, 1988.
72,000 people chanting "Die, Die..."during Metallica
changed my life FOREVER...

I am not exactly sure which one was first.. I went to many in my early teens... could have been the Rightous Brothers... or Kenny Rogers... after that sometime was REO Speedwagon... and then there was Journey (My personal all time favorite group, even have a symbolic tatoo related to them).

Last night I was fortunate enough to attend the Sawyer Brown concert!!!! :) And tomorrow night I will be seeing Trace Adkins... needless to say I will be saving money this week by not needing to buy batteries :) LOL

My first and last concert, was a Jessica Simpson concert last August. I will probably never go to another concert in my life again if I can help it. Then again I won't even buy music from the store, just a big wast of money I think.

Thinker---Is Jessica Simpson;Barts sister?She must be Lisas sister
too!
Grumble---Shows the difference in tastes.I wouldn't have gone to
see Liberache(sp)if they paid me to go.My father;played the piano
;by ear.We had a player piano;when I was a kid.He must have had a sore head;if he played by ear! Irish

Suprized you didn't hear about it Irish, it was all over the radio. Anyway She is a pop singer, and is fairly popular, hence the word "Pop".
here is a link to give you an idea of who she is, http://www.jessicasimpson.com/bio.html Oh yeah there were most singers there besides her but I can't rember them all.

OK.....This is pretty embarrassing but I also need to know something from everyone so I will tell........

I was 12, it was 1970.....I won tickets from a local radio show and the concert was at The Spectrum in Philly. Headliner.........The Guess Who (pretty good so far, right?) Also playing.....Jose Feliziano (spell check....and omg, I had never heard of him till then!) Warm up group.......an all girl group (all girl groups were very few and far between at the time) called Fanny, or maybe it was spelled Fanni though I am not sure (they really weren't all that bad from what I remember).

My question? Has ANYONE ever heard of that all girl group? I've asked people I meet and to date I have had only one yes. Just curious if it was a dream or what? LOL!

Mrs. Lix

Thinker---Knowing the way;that I screw around;I'm suprised that
you didn't know that I was just screwing around;and making a play on words.I KNOW who Jessica is!Thanks for the link anyway!
I guess;I should realise;that everyone who hasn't worked with me or hung around with me;doesn't know;how weird;my humor is

Does Bill Haley and the Comets count. I REO when they were a townie band just starting out.

Lol Everybodys responses have been great!!!! It definitely shows some of our varied tastes and ages.. but hey NOBODY should be ashamed of thier taste whether they still like that music today or not :p

Mrs. Lix - I knew there would come a time when the closeness of our ages would pay out - sounds like a concert I would have loved (except maybe Feliciano, never cared much for him) but I most difinately remember Fanny...gawd, I had the hots for them! They had two almost hits, "Charity Ball" & a remake of Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar"...& I have a faint memory that one of them might have been the sister of Suzi Quatro, mentioned on one of the other threads...but don't quote me on that...one question about the Guess Who, do you remember if there were 4 or 5 members in the group when you saw them? Just wondering if you saw them before Randy Bachman left the group to found BTO...
