my first concert was Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
before I had any choices in the matter, my first concert was the Kingston Trio, with Peter Paul and Mary
It's possible I'm the only one here who is green with envy. I saw the post-John Stewart Trio once and got the first album signed by Bob Shane and Nick Reynolds. The Kingston Trio that is touring now for the "50th anniversary" doesn't have any original members.
I didn't see any concerts in high school, unless you count the local "Little B and the Insects." Small south Georgia towns are notably free of music venues. Once I got to college in Nashville, I started seeing all the live music I could, but I can't remember which was the first concert. Joan Baez? The Grateful Dead?
My first stadium concert was either Diana Ross or Smokey Robinson, don't remember which was first. Diana Ross had her daughters open with her and they were wee and talented and cute. I've always kept my eye on Tracee Ellis Ross for this reason.
Huh. I've only ever known one person from Temple -- Hall and Oates, with their meet-cute-in-the-service-elevator-ducking-from-gunfire tale, are doing very nicely at keeping my personal ratio of Temple alums who are made of awesome at 100%.
I would agree, since boyfriend went there for undergrad. :)
(I love how his opinion on the Haunted Mansion are the same as Jilli's!)
He can't have it! It's MY destiny to live in the Haunted Mansion, dammit.
I think my first actual concert was Ricky Nelson, just before he died.
Either that or the woman who sang "Queen of Hearts' whose name escapes my memory.
I went to the same H&O concert tour as JZ, Vortex and Plei as my first concert.
I misremember...did you grow up in the Bay Area? Because, if so, maybe you and I were at the same concert together OMG!!11!!!1

Isn't he just about the right age to have been there for the H&O meet cute/battle of the bands with actual weaponry? Does he have any interesting scars?
ok that's cool.
someone I'm not sure I know just pinged me in facebook - if it is anyone here, please give me some sign.

that reminds me! You and another non-buffista friend of mine are friends on facebook. Small world! I assume you know each other through jobs.

Juice Newton. Why the hell do I remember that and not things infinitely more important?
