Who took your concert virginity?

[Dr.Brad]

Tchaikovsky. Bach and Mozart were before my time.

Ok, so ridiculous but seriously - first organized concert I ever attended.

[finnys_fanatsy]

First concert wasn’t until I was mid twenties. Keith Urban.

You reminded me that I saw the Toronto Symphony Orchestra as part of a field trip in my elementary school days, so that might then be my first concert.

No, Oleg Tverdovsky played for several teams including Anaheim and Coyotes franchise, but never Detroit! lol

[Grapes]

wow Zeppelin in their prime, sweet! Seen Zep at Knebworth near London in 79'. One of their final shows before Bonham died 6 months later. Was able to meet Plant backstage at the Page and Plant tour, really wanted to meet Jimmy but no go!

What a sweet memory. Meeting Plant, just wow. They were a powerhouse. Their music is still relevant today. No telling what they would have done had it not been for Bonhams death and their time with drugs.

When I was a kid, my Mother won tickets to a Johnny Mathis concert at Hershey park Arena. I barely remember it, but there was a meal involved. I was preteen. So I guess technically .... BUT .... In 1980, same location ... for all you Canadians, my first true concert. One of my favorite bands of all time. The Permanent Waves tour "RUSH" opening in it's entirety 2112 (Overture through Finale). So many great songs that night. Alex is still incredible!

1981 Paladium NYC - Iron Maiden opened for Judas Priest. I was 11 yrs old, escorted by older brother.

Had to take a wicked piss but got stage fright in a bathroom full of drunk metal heads

Oh man, I think I screwed up by saying Van Halen in 1984. Memories are coming back from 1982:

Scorpions and Girlschool opened for Iron Maiden - I remember Eddy, larger than life on stage! I was 16.

Metallica at the old Edmonton Coliseum before the major remodel, ....and Justice for All tour in 1989 or maybe 90.

Have seen Metallica every time they have come through town ever since. Lost count but it must be at least 6 or 7 shows now.

I was at that show! The Cult opened for them?

Metallica has lost a lot for me since, but to me, that was when they were epic.
