Your first show

[Liebensaft]

Like the title says, what was your first show ever? Most of us didn't exactly start off with a bang. More like a meaty thud.

Mine was Yellowcard and Less Than Jake. It was a few month before Yellowcard exploded into the MTV scene. I thought they were good too. Then super-stardom hit, and the allure wore off.

So, what was your first show?

[Ghostfire3]

Ska is Dead. And it was an awesome first show experience.

[Vietnow]

The Black Halos
Bigwig (They were horrible)
Gob

I was in the 5th grade.

[Mute Print]

Nickelback, Jerry Cantrell, and Epidemic in 2001.

[skankin'sophr]

first i saw lil bow wow in 3rd grade (yes, i did). than i saw aerosmith and kid rock. Then i went to a radio festival with Less Than Jake, Something Corporate, Yellowcard, AFI, The Ataris, Hoobastank and some more. Than i saw AFI again with Coheed and Thursday. Then i went to Coast To Coast Roast 2004 with RBF, RXB, C22, LBC, and SL. take your pic as to which one was the first "show".

[Sam]

Dinosaur Jr. Kicked ***.

[Vietnow]

Nickelback, Jerry Cantrell, and Epidemic in 2001.

[Mute Print]

Very cool.
Haha, yeah. I didn't even know who he was at the time though. :p

[sam-a-lam]

my first local show was in a sporting goods store... 4 bands... 1 being extreamly emo and slightly annoying.. and another being a Nofx cover band... and there where probably 45 people there... 50 tops

[ZaaR]

N'Sync when I was 8 or something. My next was Blink-182 and Sum41.

[gastery6]

The Offspring

[Culture Shock]

Man, these are some pretty bad shows. My first show was NOFX when I was a freshman in high school.

[Tyler]

[Clashed]

The Dead Kennedys. Well first was Catch22 a few months before he left.

[Brain Toad]

[Borkola]

[Anxious]

Beach Boys when I was eight :)
Cool.

[TAND]

My friends, older brothers band play a local show. Although I stood in the back plugging my ears cause I thought it sucked.

[I_AM_MEXICAN]

My first show was The Virus and Blind Society from New Jersey. I also remember it was my first time slamdancing and I was only eleven so i was sore for several weeks.

[AIRIC]

Graystar headlined. Southcott were there and they were good. Graystar is a bunch of fags.

[TakeWarning]

Frenzal Rhomb when I was 12. It was pretty good.

[fatwreckpunk]

the first proper show i went to was to see millencolin in London, was real good,

[fatwreckpunk]

[Jessizzle]

Im going to be going to my first ALL punk show on dec 3rd

[dropkickstreetpunk2]

Sum 41, bunch of crappy bands.
After that it was Less than Jake and New Found Glory

[skateMASTERbater2]

the offspring

[Gnarmageddon]

Clapton. :cool:

[Iron Bug]

Against Me!, PMFS, No Choice, Can't Say
About a year ago.

[Subvert_bassist]

I was too poor to go to any concert like these, so I grew up listening to friends tell me tales of Blink-182 and Green Day concerts because I couldn't afford to go. My first show was a local show: the Secretions, Grouvie Ghoulies, the Knockoffs, and Pressure Point. Like, five years ago. And I got in free because the guitarist of the Secretions is my cousin.

[asdf]

First concert (other than hundreds of local events and my dad's band):

The Turtles. 1998.

If it didn't happen in 1998, i'd probably sound like I'm 50 years old.


My first punk/ska show was a local show. It was also an outdoor show, which was weird. I was only there to see one band, the cheapskates, because I knew the bassist, but I also now know that another local band, the misdemeanors played there too. I had seen them a few times since.

What I consider my first local show, even though it was after that outdoor concert, was at this local coffee house that has punk/ska shows on the weekends. I saw the cheapskates, another local band, and parkhurst, which is a band that I believe collin from Mustard Plug is in. When I saw them, though, they were still known as moniker.

[blacklungfever]

Alexisonfire + The Planet Smashers, and a few other bands I didnt care too much for. It was amazing to the maximum.

That was my first big concert. My first local show was a local show with The Heatskores, The Flatliners, the Septic Tank Disasters, and a couple of other punk bands.

[gregulus]

First concert was Bela Fleck and the Flecktones with the Yonder Mountain String Band and Keller Williams

My first show (or second concert) was The Vibrators with Skeptic? and Sick of Talk.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Anti-Flag, Paint it Black, Pipedown, and Thought Riot in Oct 2003. Not counting that I saw Hanson when I was probably 8.

[Vietnow]

Lucky, Lucky Man.

[AIRIC]

Josh your first show was Crass, Conflict, Zounds, and every other good anarcho band right?

[Maverick_Special]

My first show was Blink 182 and Green Day...I was like 14 so it was cool at the time and Green Day was pretty good...since then I have improved

[obese_breasts]

NOFX when I was 7.

[bryce_the_cat]

social distortion, tiger army, and the explosion

[D & V]

just local shows. the first concert i ever went to was weezer.

[Weezerfan_returns]

The warped tour, 04. Seeing Bad Religion, nofx, lars f and the bastards, anti flag, flogging molly, bouncing souls etc was a great first show.

[xChargedxPunkx]

Guns and Roses when i was either just born or in my moms belly lol

[live fat, die young]

Im going to be going to my first ALL punk show on dec 3rd
The 3tards with the Antics, Heatskores, Ikilled Jesus, Corpusse, The lakeshore bandits and full cup orchestra.

I'm going to that, I think. Depends on if I can find a ride to Toronto/get some funds to get in. A few of my friends saw the 3tards the other night with the Misfits and a few other bands, but the ticks were 35 dollars or something, I figured I'd just wait until december.

And, to stay on topic, my first show was Rancid, Tiger Army, and Roger Meiret and the Disasters.

[xxGumbyxx]

backyard show when I was 13. The only good band there was Left Alone.

[Miss Knottinotsy]

When I was under 10 in the 90s I saw a bunch of old bands at a 4th of July concert each year like The Turtles, Paul Revere and The Raiders.

Those are the first two I remember, but my recent ones have been to are The Monkees 2003), Cheap Trick (2004), ZZ Top (2005).
You've probably figured out by now that I can only go to concerts with my parents.

[Jersey's Best Dancer]

Warped '04.. if thet doesnt count Floggign Molly/Street Dogs/The Briggs. That is still my favorite show that i have been to.

[DaveToopes]

[mesquite punk]

Well its kinda sad but I saw Sum 41 and Gob. Which was great 2 of the best pop punk bands out there and it was a great show.

[Rootsradical]

I went to an ozzfest 7 years ago with my uncle. I didn't start off liking punk right away.

[JessyB96]

My First and favorite show was crowned king, farsighted, echo of sanity and cassidy

[gregulus]

Lucky, Lucky Man.
You couldn't be more right, sir. They told my friend they kept hitting on that they would "post her some knickers"

[maco]

I saw Ricky Martin when I was really little. Then when I was 15, a bunch of ****ty bands whose names I don't know or care to know. What I count as my first real "show" was The Lemmiwinks (http://www.myspace.com/thelemmiwinks), National Crisis (http://nationalcrisis.tk), and 4 other bands for the "Punk Rock Fistfight"...but the Lemmiwinks were kinda ska

[Lazybassplr56]

Well its kinda sad but I saw Sum 41 and Gob. Which was great 2 of the best pop punk bands out there and it was a great show.

I almost bought a Gob cd when I was 12. I'm so happy I didn't.

that sounds like a hell of a show

[The Establishment]

1) My first how was actually Simple Plan and it was actually really good and they introduced me to the world of good music.

Last night I went to a Bad Religion/Pennywise/Anti-Flag concert that was amazing.

2) Ska is not dead.

Ex) Less than Jake, Reel Big Fish, some new Goldfinger...
