kyle Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 My first show was Social Distortion at the House of Blues in Anaheim, Ca. Sum 41 were the openers. This was literally just a couple months before they blew up on MTV and the radio. Everyone was standing around staring at eachother saying, "WTF?" while they played. I was 15.

scottheisel Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Not counting local shows, I think my first real "punk show" was Warped Tour '97 in Chicago, followed up a few months later by Ten Foot Pole/Guttermouth/Apocalypse Hoboken/One Hit Wonder at a local skatepark. That was the first time I learned about the "rollerbladers are gay" phenomenon, as Guttermouth were drawing a huge picture on a piece of plywood of a rollerblader getting double-teamed by two beefy dudes. It was a pretty scandalous thing to see at 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG dropkick shows were batshit crazy... they used to play CT alot.. and there was usually a riot occuring. i broke both my wrists stagediving at a Bosstones/Dropkick show in the early 90's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickey Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 First show was GWAR at Pearl Street, Northampton, Mass. I think it was 1992. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 First Concert was Aerosmith. First punk show was an all day fest which had pretty much every local band playing along with Slick Shoes, Dogwood, and The Undecided. Interesting thing about that show, it was my first time see Nice Guy Eddie who about 6 years later turned into Anatomy Of A Ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeper Lagoon played, also, but i missed them. Sugarcult played there the next year. but i dont think they did it again after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
