What was your first concert ?

I didn't see my first actual "paid-for" concert until 2001, when I was 25. It was the Family Values Tour in Chicago, October 2001. Dead Sea, Static X, Linkin Park, Staind, and Stone Temple Pilots. In 2009, my wife and I went to our first concert together, Stone Temple Pilots on their reunion tour. The best concert I have been to was Muse, The Resistance Tour, at the United Center in Chicago in March of 2010. We were going to go see them again in St. Louis in November, but their bass player decided he needed to knock up his wife for the FIFTH time, so the concert was cancelled because that was about the time she was due.

I have seen, for free, over the years: American English, Presidents of the United States of America, Richard Marx, Dennis DeYoung, Billy Ocean, Cletus T. Judd, Digital Underground, Night Ranger, Charlie Daniels Band, Spin Doctors, and others I cannot remember at the moment. Oh, and I saw John Kay and Steppenwolf at the base club on the Naval Amphibious Base in San Diego. That was a very close, intimate concert. There were maybe 50 of us there, and he actually talked to us between songs and regailed us with stories from "back in the day." I think that was probably my most memorable concert.
