First Headbanger Concert

What was your very first rock concert and what age were you ?

I was 16 years old and went to Casper,Wyoming(of all places) and saw "Fastway", "Saxon" and "Iron Maiden". I was so high and a lil drunk,but had one hell of a good time at that concert!
Long Live Rock n Roll headbang
peace PEACE.....It does not mean 2 be in a place where there is no noise,trouble,or hardwork.It means 2 be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart ! heart

KISS on the DYNASTY tour back in 79. (The Hampton Coliseum in Hampton Virginia).
Had nosebleed seats and needed 2 pairs of binoculars but it was great. Being a little kid and seeing these "rock superheroes" was mindblowing.

Maybe Lollapalooza 1992 with Ministry in Scranton, PA. The mosh pit when they played "Supernaut" was no joke. I couldn't help myself.

I wished I would of been able to see KISS when I was younger. I did get to see the reunion tour and the farewell tour in Las Vegas so that was cool ! I just wish I could of seen them when I was like 13 or so, the energy at a KISS show is so amazing !

You show us everything youve got
You keep on dancin and the room gets hot
You drive us wild, well drive you crazy
You say you wanna go for a spin
The partys just begun, well let you in
You drive us wild, well drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin, you keep on shoutin
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day

Ratt came to my little town in the fall of '84. It was unbelievable because they were getting to be a huge act, yet they were playing in our 3,000 seat armory

opening act: Mama's Boys

I live in New York City, but the Lollapalooza shows there that year were already sold out so my cousins and I drove to Scranton instead. The stage was on top of some mountain which was a three mile walk from the parking lot. And the line for the bus to take you from the lot to the stage must have been a mile long so we footed it. dead

Dee Snider has said TS was a force to be reckoned with in its heyday, and I'm inclined to believe him

Powerslave tour....Lucky you. My whole circle of friends was really into Maiden then. good times lol

It was Montage Mountain! Saturday, August 15th, 1992--I remember the day was overcast/rainy and I left the headlights on in the parking lot so we had to wait until everyone else left before security came to jump start my car battery.
