First Concert? Last concert?

[iheartthe80s]

The kids are outside in the snow. I have quiet…and I'm bored. Humor me.

What was your first concert? 

What was the most recent concert?

What was the worst concert?

[iheartthe80s]

My first was Go Gos (with opener INXS) in 1982.

My most recent concert was Duran Duran in 2012.

The worst? Crowded House. I love them, I do. But they came on stage 3 hours late and this was back in my working days. Coming on stage at midnight was unacceptable for this granny. It was at House of Blues, so we had been standing since 7. By the time they came on I needed to sit.

[Rainyday]

Ok you will love this 80s!

My first: Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Beastie Boys (both in 1986)
]
Most recent: The Pixies

The worst: Eric Clapton in about 1990?

I have seen every band I have ever loved live, EC was a disaster.

[iheartthe80s]

Oh, nice! My friend saw Beastie Boys open for Madonna back in maybe 1985. She was like "these guys just ran around in overalls and yelled". Little did we know how obsessed we would become with them.

Crowded house is one of my all time favorites! We are a rare breed! I'm sorry you had a bad experience

[iheartthe80s]

Wait, cjcouple!!! Why were they assholes? They are (except for Duran Duran) my all time favorite. My one chance to see them didn't work (sob…I still have the ticket). Why did you not like them?

[Deleted]

My first was Beck in 2000. He came onstage in a bright pink, rhinestone encrusted tux and proceeded to robot and moonwalk. Was amazing!

My most recent was Thievery Corporation and it was awesome. Sick beats. Even my H liked it.

Worst concert was probably the Disco/70s show I saw at the Hollywood Bowl with the inlaws.

[iheartthe80s]

Beck? You mean that new guy from the Grammys? The one that beat Beyonce? Who is he?

Joke, I kid. Love Beck. I'm sure he was amazing. So talented.

[iheartthe80s]

cjcouple, I need to know why Michael told the crowd to fuck off. Was it random? How far into the concert?

[momin2013]

First: Tommy Page, circa 1989

Last: REM, 1999

Worst: Vanilla Ice. It was...kind of sad...

I saw Crowded House too back in the day. I was absolutely in love with them, and was crushed when the drummer died, he was my favourite.

[ashb62]

First was John Michael Montgomery when I was 10, so 1995.

Most recent was Rascal Flatts with Jessica Simpson opening, in 2009.

Not sure about worst. I haven't been to very many concerts.

It's always the drummer. Why are they the ones to die?

[iheartthe80s]

Kind of true about the drummer! And the one from Def Leppard lost an arm!

[escrow]

First - nkotb. Then a week later I was over it lol.

Worst - not at all the band's fault, but radiohead at red rocks. Love the band, but the venue was way oversold and there was literally no where to sit. We'd try to sit off to the side then security would come tell us we had to move. Spent the entire show doing this. Omg I just remembered another time the venue sold me seats that did not exist! I can't remember which show, I think it might have been depeche mode (my all time favorite forever). I know I bought pre sale seats, and it was like they decided to configure the seating different after the fact. I don't go to many shows for these reasons. Only the really awesome ones.

Last concert - I think it was nine inch nails at red rocks last year. 10th row, they didn't screw up the seats that time mmmm Trent

[Kcthepouchh8r]

First--Gloria Stefan in the early 90s.

Last--TSO Xmas concert. We go every year.

Best--ludacris in college. Love me some Luda!!!!

Someone probably yelled out "play Superman". They hate that song. LOL

First: NKOTB!!!

My first concert was the Go Go's with INXS, too!  I would swear it was the summer between 8th and 9th grade so that would make it 1983 for me.  Where did you see them?

I saw them at PineKnob in Michigan.

[court26]

1st was Michael Bolton (OMG)
I can't remember the last concert I went to I mean, we saw Tom Chapin who is one of my fav kid song singers? Going to see Billy Joel in 2.5 weeks
Worst....maybe Fiona Apple? Anyone even remember her?

[serendipity]

First-Debbie Gibson somewhere around 1988 maybe.
Last -a reggae festival about 2 weeks before DS1 was born.

Worst -Neil Diamond. My parents had 2 extra seats to a concert at Madison Square Garden when I was a teenager and they made me and my sister go. I still don't like him to this day.
