I remember that my 1st concert was at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, CA. I went to see Santana. If you haven't had the chance to get to the Greek, it is a great outdoor venue. Santana was playing, and even had Eric Clapton show up as a special guest. I remember the whole theater being loaded up with smoke. So much to the fact that you couldn't hardly see the stage. The show was great, though, and it is always something that I will remember doing with my dad. Where was your favorite concert, and who was playing?

The first ever concert that ive seen was a Religious concert that was held in the Big Dome "Araneta Colliseum" Phil. At first, i was so excited but i felt so boring coz i was thought that because its a religious Concert, i would have to expect that its more on praising and holy songs.. But then, when the show was started, It was kinda cool and great opening number, coz there was so many nuns and priests singing and dancing on the big stage while wearing their white uniforms.. Then, followed by great performance from their guest from music industry like, There was Kyla, Karylle, Robert Sena, Ryan Cayabyab, Dulce, Bituin Ecscalante, other male balladeer and i forgot their names and other great singers... I dint expected that they were the guests of the show.. I was so overwhelmed indeed! Then the show ended with a special number with the dancing nuns and priests.. It was great indeed!

The first big concert I went to was a concert by Shakira. It was ok. I went because I have some friends that are fans of Shakira and they didn't have transportation. So I went to give them a lift. I also went to other concerts like The gift, Pedro Abrunhosa and Blasted mechanism.

I'm probably going to give my age away here but the first concert I went to was ....... The Beatles in 1964 in London. I have never forgotten the experience, the noise, the screaming, the excitement, and the look of shock on my Mum's face as she felt she had to take me along as I was regarded as too young to go alone - lol

I went to Tom Petty at the george. I was pretty young and it was the first time that i ever saw anybody smoke pot. People were trying to stop it, but there was too much. Had fun and would do it again.

The first and only concert I ever went to was the "Creed" concert back in 2000. Back then, Creed was my favorite band so you can imagine how exciting it was to exactly see them play live. It was at the ACC (Air Canada Centre) in Toronto and my sister accompanied me...

My very first concert was the Beach Boys and Chicago. I saw them in chicago and I had a lot of fun. That's the only concert I've been to. I know I am lame. My husband does not like crowds and even though I keep telling my friends I would go to a concert with them,we just never manage to do so.

I was 16 when I went to my first concert, and I'll never forget it, unlike many of my concerts since then (too much drinking usually). It was Green Day when they were touring for their Insomniac album in Milwaukee, WI. General admission and I was right on the floor, until I got knocked down too much and my glasses broke. That experience did teach to always wear my contacts to shows. A lesson I still use to this day! LOL. Funny sidenote: Billie Joe, lead singer of the greatest band in the world (Green Day), got arrested after that show for public indecency. He mooned the crowd and made obscene gestures with an Evian water bottle. Thank God, they still love to play Milwaukee, and Milwaukee loves them! LOL.
