I started going to punk/hardcore shows when I was twelve or thirteen. I think my first show was probably some local all-ages event, likely Four Walls Falling, circa 1988.

I'm finally going to my first concert!

I saw Bad Religion in 1992 at the old 9:30 club (the one in the Minor Threat video), with The Vandals opening. Good show. Mr. Brett's amp broke 1/3 of the way through, so they did the majority of the show as a four piece. Greg Graffin did his Jello Biafra, Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins impressions while they tried to fix Brett's amp.
Same here. Bad religion seemed kinda bland, but who knows they might put on a good show when they are not playing with blink182.
First show was Guttermouth, now those guys can rock the house.
I think it was about 1977, Ted Nugent at the Aragon Ballroom. -rough crowd for a kid in jr. high.
i bought my tickets yesterday 
46 friggin dollars 
good thing my dad payed for them! seems to be a good lineup. green day, jimmy eat world, and blink 182. they say that a local band will be the 4th band playing. i wonder who that'll be?

$ 46.00? There's something inherently wrong with that. Maybe that's why I don't go to big-time concerts anymore.

My first concert was 2 weeks ago, STAIND.
I'm not really a big stained fan but I was sitting in my room playin' bass when there was a know at my window, it was my guitarist and he had a spare Staind concert ticket coz one of his mates was ill, so I though whatever, and went. It's was cool, coz Puddle of mudd were the "warm-up-band" and I think there ok.
And i cought Arons (singer of staind) pick, he threw it down to the audience after the show. And my guitarist cought one of Puddle of mudd's drummer's sticks. Man, what luck.
Concerts Rock!!! ...(especially rock concerts )

Thanks for pointin that out, Chaos
Though I thought that's what I heard.
Arrgghh...My poor English...
Man do we have some young pups around here or what! That's great.
My first was either Quiet Riot or the Greg Kihn Band, at the Missouri State Fair, 1983. My last was the Flecktones last summer. I'm proud of how I've progressed!
to the cat who saw Dave Brubeck... I'm jealous, what a talent.
