What was your first concert?... Your last?

funny this questions appears now because the first concert I saw was the same band as the last one I saw :-p
My first concert was a festival, back in 95 (Werchter festival, in Belgium). The first band playing was "channel zero", a belgian metal band. The same day, there was also REM, Cure, Offspring, etc.
The last concert I went to was another festival, last week, and I saw again channel zero. There was also kyuss and cypress hill.
The last concert I saw if we don't consider festivals is queens of the stone age.
 
I missed the chance to see Jethro Tull @ Rod Rocks Amphitheater. I think it was last month, but I'm not sure. I want my first concert to be The Big 4 and I hear that they're touring again, but I'm not sure what to think about it. On one hand I need my dad to drive me to any concert(I'm only 15 and don't even have a permit yet), but on the other hand both my parents hate Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. My parents literally flipped my door knob around and locked me in my room when I told them I had tickets to The Big 4 and I got a group of my older friends to drive me(I lied to them when I said this just to see they're reaction). As you can tell they think that a concert with The Big 4 is hell on earth. I need help if I want to see The Big 4 before I turn 17. My dad is seriously considering taking me to a Yonder Mountain String Band concert. I don't like bluegrass one bit.

:help: please
 
Ok I have to preface this. The first was actually Exile with Leif Garret as the opener. I was, however taken to that by my aunt. I choose to ignore it, although Exile was quite good ( and had 2 drummers which I had never seen before.

The first I paid for was The Police, who opened for Santana. Sting joined Carlos and played a few songs. It was pretty epic.
The last was last night :) The Ohio Players. They sounded GREAT.

KISS (No Makeup) and WASP was my first. WASP, who I wanted to see, were great and I just remember KISS being LOUD!!! Can't think of my last right now wbut will add it it when I think about it.

I've heard WASP on the radio a long time ago(I think). Did anybody see Scorpion at their first concert?

I've seen the Scorpions, but it wasn't at my first one. Was a good show until some Jack *** hit Klaus in the throat with a camera. Pretty much ended after that.

Reporters. Those little ********* are constantly destroying people's right to privacy and getting away with it.
