Peter Frampton. Springfield, MA Civic Center. I was 15 if I remember correctly. So that would make it 1976. His Comes Alive Album was out. -
The Who's Farewell Tour in Toronto, CNE Stadium 1982 - I was 16.
The best concert I've seen was Don Henley, End of the Innocence Tour - we had 9th row floors. Close second was U2's ZooTV tour.
Worst concert experience was Pink Floyd - we were sitting about 30 feet from a HUGE stack of speakers. It was so LOUD my eyeballs felt like they would vibrate out of their sockets - I'm sure it was louder than 120db where we sat - we couldn't stay for the encore. We were so close to the stage we could feel the heat from the flash pots. Kind of soured me on their music for awhile too.
Longest concert experience - Monsters of Rock: Kingdom Come, Dokken, Metallica, Scorpions & Van HalenComment

Am I weird if I think Peter Frampton is hotter now than when he was younger and had all that long blonde hair?Originally posted by NattyLil'Cougar View PostComment

Pink Floyd, Division Bell... I was 15 years old, everyone was smoking dope. The minute I reached for the pipe the big security guard chick popped up and party was over

What we did do was hook up with my friend Sue, her fiance, her twin bro's and their buddy (I grew up with them), got off the floor down by the stage since Alana kept getting stepped on (she was all of 5 foot 1 or something like that) and went up to the 'nose bleed' section for a bit. It was so freakin' hazy all we had to do was inhale nice and deep a few times!
Gotta love older ventilation systems.
While my daughter was competing heavily in dance years later I noticed that they completely replaced the old ventilation system at the civic center.

Mine was the Ramones when I was 4 years old. My father took me, he was obsessed with them. To this day they are my favorite band.

Back around that time (when I was 19-22) I saw just about every metal band of the mid-80s and then some. After that, I can count on one hand the stadium concerts I've been to.Originally posted by gymdiva View Postage 19, charlotte, nc at Ericsson Stadium...The Rolling Stones...had full blown mono...hahahaha...man it was great

Yeah, it was pretty hazzy in there... we were pissed about the circulating security guard - she knew we had it and was just waiting for us to spark up again - but looking back on it, all I can think about is how much that job must have sucked! "We need you to attend Pink Floyd's first concert in years and tell people not to smoke pot!" Pffft...Originally posted by NattyLil'Cougar View Post

It was actually pretty intense for me. I remember it all. There was dudes with huge mohawks moshing in the front to the opening band, I was scared at first but once the Ramones took the stage I was in awe. Great fucking show. R.I.P. Joey, Johnny and DeeDeeOriginally posted by GirlyMuscle View Post

I was 15. I loved it. The Deftones (back when they slammed) opened up. White Zombie had amazing stage show. Then Pantera brought the noise
