...Did somebody say something?...

My first concert was a local band that was on the virge of making it big, they were called haphazard. They were pretty good I wish they did make it big. My first Big Concert was King Diamond in 1998 in Milwaukee. Also the best show I have EVER seen before. Yes I did get a late start on concerts but late is better than never.

 

[Gord]

Thinking about it

It was Lena Lovitch - I think I was about 14 and it was in Aberdeen - of all places

It was pretty shit - the concert wasnt much better

The first time I saw Coop he was still biting the heads off chickens.

He turned out to be quite enduring; I still enjoy listening to the Killer cd loud in the car.

 

[LadyG]

ACK!!! Forgot

Gordon Lightfoot
Bare Naked Ladies
Tragically Hip
Guess Who

I find the colour of any part of their anatomy to be somewhat irrelevant in an appreciation of their musical talent or impact.

 

[Simply Me]

My first, although I don't remember it well ,was Bob Seiger..since then:


Def Leppard
Jefferson Starship
Ted Nugent
Peter Frampton


Wow, I'm really showing my age here.

...Sounds like a great summer...I never seem to have the time and or money to see many shows anymore...

I saw him on the "Welcome to my Nightmare" tour. Whatever you think of him personally, you gotta say, he puts on a hell of a show!
