First concert - 1990 Naked Raygun (punk band) @ the Vic Theatre in Chi. First BIG concert - Lollapoluza '91 @ the New World Amp. in Tinley Park IL - Janes, NIN, Butthole Surfers, Body Count...awesome show

 

[Xman]

Iron Maiden Killers tour, must have been 1981 or 1982. Man that was about 29 years ago and i still remember so much from that concert. Opening act was Trust. Those were the days........

 

[rocker]

AC/DC For Those About To Rock '81.

That must have been a great one George.

 

[PeteLaramee]

This will tell my age a bit, but Johnny and Edgar Winter, Montrose. Montrose changed everything for me back then

That's awesome. I've seen Edgar and I've seen Johnny a few times, but never together. I would've loved to have seen either of them with Derringer (I saw Derringer a few times.)

 

[rocker]

TNT in 1984, the viking ship on stage and the opener were Seven Seas. Support band was Stage Dolls.

My Dad took me to see KISS when they recorded KISS Alive at Cobo Hall. I think it was 1975 ? Seems like just yesterday......

 

[TTripp]

Ozzy on the Diary tour, a couple of months before the crash.

 

[rocker]

I think it was back in '99..

AC/DC with Megadeth as the opening band! What a show!!

Was that in Milton Keynes Dan? If so that was in 2001, they did not tour in '99. Didn't mean to be picky.

 

[boof]

Queen,not even sure what year,late 70's.

now that is the biggest regret having never seen Queen (and by Queen I mean Queen)

first for me was Journey with Brain Adams opening Kemper areana July 13th 1983

You're right. I was working for them on the sound crew for DB Sound Chicago as a sound tech at that show - and the entire tour for that matter.

 

[Superunknown]

My first show was RATT with BON JOVI opening.....

 

[RoidRage]

1971 or 72 ,Leslie West and Mountain.
Didnt get the ringing out of my ears for a day due to
2 full stacks of Marshall Plexi's in red.

OMG!!!

The same thing happened to me... I saw them my first concert also... LOVED Missisippi Queen!

Anywaze... It was the mid to late 70's I was like 8 yrs old or something, and my best friends older brother took us... I don't remember much BUT THE RINGING ALSO!!!

It was like 117db or something crazy like that, I remember I couldn't hear anything for days!!! OMG! LOL!!!

Best,

Roid RAGE

 

[Mizati20]

Rolling Stones Bridges to Babylon Tour at the Orange Bowl Stadium in Miami... with Dave Mathews Band and Smashing Pumpkins as the openers... and Marilyn Manson did a guest appearance... I was 14 years old stoned out of my mind... to this day I still compare every show I go to to that concert... it will never be topped...
