I can't believe I am telling this... I saw Hootie and the Blowfish right before the first album exploded. (It was a hole in the wall place and I was in 8th grade at the time) I guess that makes it about 1994.

It was Styx, the "Mr Roboto" tour.

The show opened with a flood of colored smoke and they all rose up out of the stage inside big robot costumes and broke out of them, then started the song. It was....something. I went with my friend and we kept asking her parents over and over what that weird sweet smell was coming from those people's "cigarettes".

im young but i was able to get to tinley park and see the who(or whats left of them) augost 24th 2002

MsMofoGone · 06-13-2005, 02:30 PM

Journey, Santana, Thin Lizzy and Eddie Money ... August 5, 1979.

The concert was called "A Day In The Park" ... it was at Chicago's Comiskey Park ...
I went with my older brother and sister who were babysitting me since my parents were out of town ... They always remind me of how I seemed to enjoy the music that day ...
although I was so-ooo young I don't remember it ...

The first concert I remembered surprisingly enough was again Journey ... I grew up listening to them at a very young age and became quite a fan ... still enjoy their 70's and 80's music ... but I wouldn't go see them in concert anymore now, since they replaced their original lead singer, Steve Perry ...

Eliv8 · 06-13-2005, 03:33 PM

My very first was Mud! (Only the Brits will know that name) Then it was Floyd (Animals tour), Ramones w/Talking Heads, Boomtown Rats, The Jam, The Clash, The Stranglers and all that good stuff.
