What Memories Do You Have from Your First Concert?

By: Caitlin Goebel (View Profile)

Let’s take it back to the fifth grade. It’s my best friend’s birthday. The night started out with all of us going over to her house. We did each others make-up, picked out the “perfect” outfits and practiced the lyrics over and over again until we had them memorized. As we walked through the doors of the Rose Garden Arena we felt ten times older than we were. All five of us including her mom stood up a little taller than normal. We took our seats and then the music started “Ohhhhh … I’m just a girl …” the crowd went crazy. The lights, the sound, the audience, lit up and didn’t stop for two hours. We felt like we were on top of the world and all grown up.

Everyone has vivid memories about the first concert they’ve ever gone to. Whether it was Michael Jackson, Eddie Money, or Poison, chime in to tell us the first concert you went to.

Oh, It was a Scorpions concert and the atmosphere proved so magical that it will stay in my heart for ever.

When we went to see Johnny and Edgar Winter, a friend and and took the "long way" back from the bathroom and ran into them as they were heading for the stage! They were very friendly, shook our hands and told us to enjoy the show..which we did!

I have been to about two hundred concerts since and much wilder but my first was when my mom took me to see Peter Allen who opened for Helen Reddy. My mom loved her and she took my best friend and I. It was pretty good and the only concert I ever attended with my mom.

My first concert I was in 5th grade and my dad took me, my twin brother, and our friends to see Bon JOvi in Chicago. We were excited to be at our first concert but my father was saying to us, "This is nothing, when I was at Woodstock.......

My first concert was Jackson Brown - he was wonderful!
The first concert I ever saw was Ricky Nelson at the San Diego county fair. It was a triple encore performance. I had a great time and was so sad when he died in the plane crash.

My first was in Madison Wisconsin to see Santana. They would not begin playing till everyone was quiet! And there was a lot of pot being passed around!

I'm a rarity, have never been to a concert, but my children have and every one enjoyed the experience.

My parents gave me tickets to a Metallica concert for my 17th birthday. My friend and I went and it was a very exciting concert.
