Redhead74 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 This has probably been done before (many times) but I'm new around here, so humour me and tell me what your first ever concert/gig/show was.Mine was Pink Floyd, February 18, 1988: Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. I was 13 and my parents took me along (thanks Mum and Dad ). I remember it was amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Sugar Ray - 1997Before they released 14:59 and were still essentially a punk/hard rock band. I got boob that night (7th grade) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Drama Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I wasn't on any gear like my mates, so not as much as them. Fucking shit up in some Southbank apartment for the day was always the most fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duff_rose Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Velvet Revolver - 2004I was 11 years old and went with my older brother. One of the best trips/days/concerts of my life. It was pretty surrealistic to see Slash in person, a man I had idolized since I was 8. And we could easily get to the front of the stage without getting moshed. So there I was, on a perfect summer day, 2 meters from Slash soloing with the Les Paul behind his neck! Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Drama Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 To me he was INXS. I know this may sound gay, but to me the other guys were just that. The other guys. At least personality wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when you was wewantizzy and slightly more maniacal, even then, so, y'know, just bear that in mind when you go shopping for your black and decker! We're even the same colour! Y'know what it is, y'know the thing is, the thing is this *whispers in his ear* it's these white people man, it's all them, we need to stick together if we're gonna make it here, go for the whiteboys first and then when you're done, look at me and if you REALLY feel like selling out and turning on your asian brother then, y'know, i dunno, it's up to you man, it's between you and your conscience i'm just saying, y'know...*hugs him really tight* BTW, i LOVE Sri Lanka? Despite everything i've said about it, Sri Lanka is it, it's the thing, it's the business, it's what it's all about. Columbo man, thats the fuckin' spot! And God your cricket team are amazing and y'know, just generally, the Sri Lankans, a smashing bunch of lads *this is like Father Ted China slideshow* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SONOFABITCH Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The Jackson Victory tour J.F.K. Stadium in 1984.
