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

Not so. Saw them in Detroit for their "Houses of the Holy" tour. They were awful. Without question it was the worst concert I ever went to. We all have bad night's where we're not quite on top of things and I'm no exception. But this was nothing but drunken slop. It's the only concert I attended where I walked out of halfway thru. Fact is, I found out that some people I met years later were at that same show and they even left early!

I love Zep's music and John Paul Jones was and still is one of my hero's. Just wish I could have been at one of the show's from thier "How the West Was Won" DVD." Great stuff.

Even stoned groups that have(or is it had?) a blues singer as their front man have bad days.
 
First: Alice Cooper 1973, Billion Dollar Babies tour.
Last: Voltaire 2010.


I'd certainly echo the comments on Led Zep, I saw them on the "Houses of the Holy" tour and the term "drunken slop" pretty much sums it up, worst show ever!
 
First: HeavyMTL festival of 2008 (Iron Maiden, Motley crue, Symphony X, Hammerfall, Disturbed, etc)

Last: HeavyMTL festival of 2011 (Kiss, Opeth, Disturbed, Godsmack, Inflames, Trivium, etc)

Weird timing to answer haha.
 
first-edgefest-dallas-2007 (muse, afi, the killers, my chemical romance and other assorted bands)

last-may 2011-my chemical romance

I don't know if I've ever been to a bad show though that last MCR show did kinda mess with my hearing for a couple of weeks. Metallica and Rush are certainly some of the best though
 
1st concert was Beatlemania, my brothers took me when I was a wee one.

Last concert was Neko Case at the Paramount here in Seattle. Well, last big concert. I caught some local country bands at the Shanty Tavern this past Saturday night. The Raineros and Davidson Hart Kingsberry. They were both kick ass.
