my mom won a radio contest when I was 13, and my official first concert was the hooters
WHY THE SMALL FONT??!?!
The Hooters were awesome! Since they were from Philly and I grew up in Wilmington just down the road I actually saw them a ton during high school.
I saw a lot of old timey and bluegrass music and Irish folk music as a kid but my first rock concert was the Pretenders and the Alarm (at the Tower Theatre in Upper Darby, PA).
My first concert was the Steve Miller Band.
I think my first concert was Rick Springfield. After that, it was a lot of hair metal shows. I bet my parents are still kicking themselves for not letting me go to the Duran Duran show.
t obligatory Seattle scene comment
The "hippest" show I probably hav ever gone to, in terms of alternative music cred, was the KISW Rising Stars concert on my 21st birthday. $7 for the then-unknown bands Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, and Jane's Addiction.

Go look at sdwolfpup's LJ. Or hit up her memories for the More Joy Day coverage.
OH! OH!

First, because I know you love Wicked, watch that Firefly vid linked to in, umm, Minearverse, I think. (If you can. Do you have headphones if you share an office?) Then, watch Destiny Calling, which I'm pretty sure sdwolfpup (who is SUCH a freaking sweetheart and I adore her to pieces) linked to. It made me cry happy tears.

I got nothing. Work is stressful b/c of this last push to get a 1,076-page textbook to the printer (that's a REALLY FUCKING BIG textbook, y'all, especially when *I'm* the one typesetting it!), and my dad is having -- at this very moment -- yet another angioplasty to open a blocked artery.
So I'm one big seething ball of stress. My eye has been twitching all week. Yayfun.

the dead milkmen made me do it.
I love The Hooters.
Insert joke here.
My first concert was Talking Heads. Same tour that STOP MAKING SENSE was filmed from (their last). It was Awsome.
Damn, Tep, another? I'm sorry, hon.
You don't NEED stress!
