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

First - Chicago (not a big fan but boyfriend had tickets- I think a concert actually happened on stage???)

Last - Steve Miller Band with my kids a few weeks ago - great show!

Favorite - either Judas Priest or recent Styx
 
1st: ZZ Top's Worldwide Texas Tour November 28th, 1976. Dad took me. I was also french kissed for the first time my the girl sitting next to me (Dad was in the bathroom). An all-around eventful night.

Latest: Hayes Carll ath the Granada in Dallas this past Winter
 
First - Spring 1983 - Adam Ant. INXS opened for him. I went with 2 friends and we all told our parents we were staying overnight at a friends. We went to another state for the show and got to meet INXS as they left the venue and got on the bus.

Last - June 2011 - Primus. The Dead Kenny G's opened for them. Front row of the pit, smashed against the railing, smack in front of Les Claypool. Got a cool security guy who didn't confiscate my camera and stepped out of the way when I was taking pictures.

Best concert ever, so far - Summer 1992 - Santana. Phish opened. A friend worked security for the venue and I got to sit right off the side of the stage.

I have a copy of a Phish/Santana show. Great stuff.
 
First was Hot Tuna at a little concert stage that was next to the Intrepid aircraft carrier in NYC. My older brother took me and I'm not really sure what I was listening to but it was a complete 180 from listening to Kiss - must of been around 1979 or 80 (I think). I was hooked on Jorma and Jack after that show.

Last one was Def Leppard and Journey a few years back and Journey smoked!!! This was with the singer right after Steve Perry, he actually looked like Steve Perry but with a perm.

Best - a tie between David Lee Roth's Eat'em and Smile tour - I was tenth row center in front of Billy Sheehan (wow) - and I saw Rush at Red Rocks during the 30th anniversary tour (again, wow).

I'm sure my next show will be taking my five yr old daughter to see the Imagination Movers! (kids tv show band, just in case).
 
First concert: Slayer, November 2008

Last concert: System Of A Down, June 2011

Next concert: Motörhead in November 2011 (not sure) or Rammstein, March 2012 (got my ticket)

Favorite: It's a hard choice, i loved all the concerts i attended, Rammstein in 2009, Muse in 2010, Slayer + Megadeth in 2011 + all of the shows listed above.
