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.

My first concert was the Beach Boys and I loved it! I loved standing and singing aloud with the crowd. Wish I could relive that moment.

O'k, if you really want to know, it was the Jackson 5. I was only 14 at the time. It was awesome!!!!!! The special effects, the screaming, the way they moved on stage.

I know this is going to date me decades but my first concert was to the Beatles concert when they came to the US for the first time. I was 13 and had begged my mother to take me to the city. After a thousand tears she took my girlfriend Denyse and myself to see them. I have been to hundreds of concerts since that one but I will never forget all the screaming girls, us including, losing our hearts to Paul McCartney that night. There is something about that concert that no other concert will ever be and any time I see one of the Beatles on television it always brings me back to that hot summer night when two teenagers felt like they were the luckiest girls in the world.

Not sure I sure admit this, but my first concert was Air Supply. Those sweet ballads were the background music for many girlhood crushes!

My first concert was Buffy St. Marie, outdoors in the park. My first indoor concert was Black Oak Arkansas - when I asked my mom if I could go she told me, "you're not going to Arkansas!!"
