So. Concerts. We love 'em, right? I mean, listening to music at home or in the car is cool and all, but nothing compares to seeing groups live. But what was your first show? I would suspect that for many of us, our first concert experience was somewhere in early adolescence, when our musical tastes were no more mature than our bodies. So what was the first show you saw? How old were you? Any fond (or otherwise) memories? (I bet we get someone to answer New Kids On the Block or Tiffany.... if we don't, someone's probably lying

My first show was AC/DC, spring of 1989, on the Blow Up Your Video tour. I was 14. In retrospect, not a bad way to start, pretty much straight up rock. I have vivid memories of being totally caught of guard by the smell.... large crowd, sweat, beer, pot, tobacco.... ugh. Also, there were far too many people wearing far too little clothing for their body type (although that may have been a Wisconsin thing...). Pretty much derailed my teenage fantasy of hooking up with some rocker chick...

The band was great. Angus Young just owned the stage. And I have very clear memories of those two giant golden cannons rising from the stage during "For Those About To Rock...". The cannon blasts left my ears ringing for days.....

So what about anyone else? Who was your first?
