ronniegwilliams Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 if that is the show where Donatello played a Keytar, then I need to change mine to that as well. It most definitely was, and Splinter had this gem of a diddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The amount of Weird Al in this thread is unreal. I'm not alone. weird al is the perfect seque into punk rock.. think about it.. dude made a career of mocking mainstream music, and being overly odd.. i had all of his tapes growing up and literally listened to them till they shredded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controlthebleeding Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The Eurythmics - 1983 (maybe it was early 1984) on the Sweet Dreams tour. How's that for dating one's self? so did your parents take you? my parents were old and only into big band stuff so they never took me anywhere and wouldn't allow my uncle to take me to concerts because 6-12 was too young. so many shows i missed because of it. though i did get awesome tour shirts from the concerts i missed. First concert shirt was a LOVEDRIVE tour shirt. it ruled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Green Day (Nimrod tour) November 14th 1997 at the Electric Factory.

mrewest Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I had that TMNT vhs tape and was super bummed i didnt get to go : / I had the cassette tape that I believe I ordered from Columbia House. Anyways... Technically I guess the first live concert I saw was DC Talk at a Billy Graham speaking event. Thanks to my mom for that one. But the first real concert I voluntarily went to was Finch/Brand New/Coheed and Cambria/The Starting Line at Grog Shop for those familiar with the Cleveland venue. For those that aren't, it's prob an under 200 person capacity venue. Pretty insane I saw those bands there (though I only went for Finch). But I distinctly remember Coheed playing and multiple people shouting "No more Geddy Lee!" The day after that was Papa Roach at the Rock Hall. Still prob the worst concert I had ever been to.

jerseydave77 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 so did your parents take you? my parents were old and only into big band stuff so they never took me anywhere and wouldn't allow my uncle to take me to concerts because 6-12 was too young. so many shows i missed because of it. though i did get awesome tour shirts from the concerts i missed. First concert shirt was a LOVEDRIVE tour shirt. it ruled. I was 6 or 7 - my Dad did some legal work for Dave Stewart and the tix were a gift. He is a total square. One of funniest moments in my life was the day he found my Jesus Lizard tapes (not that they were hidden or anything). I had a thread about that concert and getting a signed 7" from Annie and Dave at the concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paralyticstalks Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'm gonna flip this whole thing around and say I took my parents to THEIR first all-standing-room show at a theater just recently. I kind of had to drag them but they eventually they were cool with it. We saw Maps & Atlases at The Jefferson in Charlottesville. Damn good show too.

booyahachieved Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I was a freshman in high school at the time (~1996) and my friend's mom took us both to go see The Butthole Surfers. Pretty sure The Todies opened for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfreliable Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I had a friend who went to this. I remember him not shutting up about it for weeks.

xjustinxschwierx Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 First concert not at like a county fair type setting was seeing Yes on the Union tour at the Rosemont Horizon. That was the tour they had 2 drummers, 2 keyboardists, 3 guitar players and then Jon Anderson and Chris Squire. prior to that I'd seeing like the Grass Roots, Tommy James and the Shondells, Eddie Money, maybe Kansas at said fairground shows.
