I'm taking a poll...

We made a list here at work of everyone's first concert. It's hilarious.
So tell me...what was YOUR first concert?

EDIT:
Mine was NOT Motley Crue & Van Halen....I had forgotten that when I was about 11 I saw New Kids on the Block/Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch/Tiffany.

Perhaps I forgot about that on purpose!

Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, May 1987, with my mom.

Other concerts I went to with my mom:

- The Who (1989)
- David Bowie (1990)
- AC/DC (2000 - for her 59th birthday)

My mom taught me most of my classic rock knowledge as a pre-teen... (she was a DJ for a top-40 AM station in the late 70's).

EDIT: If you're counting NKOTB/etc, I'll count the shows I saw free at the County Fair as a young'un up north:

- Quarterflash (1984?)
- Ronnie Milsap (1985?)
- Three Dog Night (which I would enjoy *much* more now than I did in 1987...)

Hey, You can't forget that one!

[girlviking]

You and I went to that one together, you can't forget that concert! Ok, it was lame, but it was both of our first, and that was cool!

I'm assuming symphany orchestra's don't count...

I actually went to shows at little clubs more than I went to concerts. My first concert was Punk Show '95, a festival deal at Glen Helen Blockbuster Pavilion, where there was a riot and the security guards beat the crap out of the lead singer of Guttermouth.
