I'm so happy I found someone else who shares my first concert shame. Shaun Cassidy. I don't recall the year, but it had to have been before 9th grade.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
On the flip side, a friend of mine wanted me to go see Poison with her, and I wouldn't go, and regretted it later. Because I really liked them, even though I didn't want to!

Suzi, no worries. My first was Christopher Cross (with my parents as I was, I think, 8)

Because books.
The Police was my first concert. Also my first joint. The next two were Tom Petty and the Kinks.

Our wings are not tired.
This concerts thing feels like deja vu, because I know I told sarameg about me and Joan Baez.
I don't remember what my actual first concert was. In my early teenage years, I saw Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Sheena Easton, Johnny Mathis (1982 or so). Mid teenage years were Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Beastie Boys (1983-87).
But what I was really, really into was 60's music and local world beat bands.
ETA: I never had a boy band phase. It may sound weird, but I was never into boys or their boyish looks. It's no surprise that when I was 18 I fell in love with a 32-year-old man, and even now am with someone much older. I've never, ever been into "fresh" faces. As a young kid, I thought Rob Redford and Paul Newman were it

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Either what's left of the Beach boys or Ringo and the All-Starr band Ringo and Billy Preston and them were better, of course. Can't be the Beach Boys without Brian.

Knockin' the Boots is a great, great song.
I only got into 112 because this guy I used to date was really into them and he used to play them all the time. They're definitely a second tier band for me.
I was trying to think about whether I could include Levert in this hypothetical 80s and 90s black boy band playlist, but I think they would get knocked out under the Bee Gees rule. But what about Guy? Tony!Toni!Tone!, are they a boy band? Hmmm.

One of the best concerts I ever went to was Motley Crue in Madison Square Garden not too many years ago, maybe 2005? 2006? Anyway, that concert kicked ass.
ETA: A cereal post in Natter? Oh my stars and garters! It has been years since I had one of those.

I'm getting the pig!
Best concert I've been to would have to be Counting Crows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre a few years ago. Every song was just a little bit different from the recorded version and made the experience amazing. Great band live.
