What was your first concert experience? After listening to some ole school concerts, I started thinking about the first concert I ever attended. I don't remember a thread on this in my time here. My first concert that I could get to after I got a license and a car was Tom Petty. What was your first concert experience?

The Commodores minus Lionel Richie. They did a mini reunion on the 4th of July in St. Louis near the arch. It was a beautiful show. <3 | |

De Dijk, a band playing blues/soul oriented music with songs in Dutch. They're pretty popular here and later recorded with Solomon Burke. I saw them in 1989 in a tent at the annual feast of the local football club in the village I lived in. They were pretty good. Next year, Lois Lane played in the same tent and the crowd loved it so much that after their set was finished and we still hadn't had enough, they came back and did My Best Friend a second time. (And I remember all of that more than 25 years later!)After that, Prince in the Feyenoord Stadium in Rotterdam. That's quite a difference, 500 people in a tent in a small village or 50,000 in a stadium! [Edited 11/5/16 1:15am] | |

The Velvet Rope concert.
I love that album. Melancholy dance/soul music.

Beatles - 1964 (it could of been 1965 but only Meet the Beatles had been released in the US at the time.) - Rome We were on a family vacation and I was 6 or 7. I had gotten my first album "Meet the Beatles" and fell in love with it and them. My father surprised us by coming into our hotel room and saying that we were going to go to the Beatles that night. I almost lost it. Thy were playing in an Auditorium or theatre, couldn't have been more than a few thousand fans. The hysteria that was associated with that era of the Beatles was out in full force. I remember that the screaming was so loud I decided at one point to try it myself, and couldn't even hear my voice. It kind of scared me |

My mum took my sister and me to see Michael Jackson play when he visited Ireland in 92. That was my first concert but unfortunately I don't really remember it. I was only 2 years old at the time. | |

The first proper concert I ever saw was back in '89, Europe on their "Out of this world" tour. It was great and started my concert addiction. By now I've been to 430 concerts. | |

It was one of the classical music concerts for kids in elementary school that we were pretty much forced to attend in the 80s. I sort of enjoyed them myself, but I remember most of my classmates hated them. This was in Finland three decades ago when the government still thought kids should be regularly subjected to art instead of just things that will turn them into savvy businessmen in the future. | |
