Your First Concert/Gig
I've just bought the tickets to my very first 'proper' concert. A few friends and I are travelling to Brixton Academy to see Interpol, and it's a pretty exciting prospect. I've been into music for a while, but never taken the initiative and gone to see a band live. Anyway, it should be a memorable occasion, and it's one we're all looking forward to.
So, what was your first gig, and how was the experience?
"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
First real concert ever was Sonic Youth, Paris, the Olympia, July 8th, 1998. It also was one of the best I've been to, and incidentally, that's the night we beat Croatia in semifinals of the 1998 soccer World Cup, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of people (I'm not kidding) flooding the streets just when the concert ended, which was somewhat "fun" for my mum to drive through when she came to pick us up and drive us (my bother, a cousin and I) back home. I think it's the first (and last) time I saw people hovering a French flag over my car while we were trying to slowly go far from the crowded streets.
And then there is Death
Punk rock show for 5 bux that went to charity for Medicins sans Froentiers to battle malaria.
Local bands playing, no one here has heard of them probably. Von Zippers? The Falling Piano's? Amazing Larry's?Yeah, didn't think so.
When I went to go see my beloved Phantom Planet and Sugarcult
*plans to rape Alexander Greenwald of Phantom Planet*
*You know it's over, growing colder, I need something, leads me next to nothing...*
*All we ever wanted, I need something, leads me next to nothing...*
Spice Girls, baby.
My first concert will be this coming June 18th, i'll be seeing Green Day.
Homegrown, Lost City Angles and Real Big FishGood show.
*raises hand* I've heard of the Von Zippers.
I've never been to a big show, just local stuff, and I've been going to those since I was a kid.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Vanessa-Mae in Concert at the Bridgewater Hall.
She was wonderful, and her pants kept slipping down. *sigh*
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"

My first concert was with Pearl Jam a few years ago when they came over to Australia. Since then I've been to a fair few. -Xavier Rudd, Carus, John Butler Trio, Missy Higgins, The Living End, etc. I've missed out on heaps of cool bands because I'm not over 18 yet, to get in. =\
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
My first concert was a David Bowie show when I was pretty young, I don't even fully remember it. Going to concerts are one of my favorite things in the world, that's awesome that you're going to see Interpol, I'm sure it will be a great show, have fun!
I've never been to a concert, only festivals. First one was V98 at Temple Newsham, Leeds. Then I went to the Leeds Festival for the whole weekend in '99, 2000 and 2001.
Placebo at Rockwave,Athens..It was the past June..It was great..
