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.

WOw- brings back way too many memoires Jethro Tull very early 70's
My first concert was in college. Black Oak Arkansas. It was also my first date. This was in the 70's . I was nervous but when we arrived at the concert I thought I had finally joined the 70's generation. garrettsambo@aol.com

The first concert was the Bay City Rollers at the Iowa State Fair. It was such a blast!

New Kids on the Block, Spectrum in Philadelphia, November 24, 1989, I was 14. Singing "I'll Be Loving You" I could swear that Joey was looking straight at me though I was up in the nosebleed seats amoung a sea of 14 year old girls and their parents.
The first concert that I went to was RATT with Bon Jovi. I went with my best friend and we were just in awe. The night was almost perfect if it wasn't for the fact that we had to bring her much older aunt along!
