Discussion Your first gig

[Johnnythefox]

What was your first Gig?
Mine was The Stranglers, Friday 18th July 1980.
I'd not long turned 15 and it was £3.50 for the ticket.
The venue was the Glasgow Apollo, a 3,500 capacity theatre with the highest stage in Europe at the time.
I was at the front of the circle and you could feel the whole building shake.
I would go on to see many more bands there from AC/DC to Thin Lizzy.

I skipped school on a friday, and my cousin, her friends, and I drove down to Ohio in November of 2004 and went and saw Slayer in Ohio. It was the first time I ever went to a 'real concert.'

I was thrown through the crowd as I surfed. It was fucking nuts. 10/10 would go see Slayer again.

A Pantera concert. It was an amazing experience.

My first gig was Coldplay in Boston, back in 2008. I only went to appease my girlfriend at the time. I wanted to like it, but it was Coldplay so that didn't work out.

If I had to go to a Coldplay concert, I would have dumped her. LOL

Gig is a concert in English then?
I was 4 years old, with dad who was drunk, and mother also sat there somewhere. It was my countrys biggest rock band haha, and it was amazing. The lights in the night and music went right through me. Later mother said to me she was so embarrassed to watch me and dad dancing like that in front of hole town! Shaming me for fathers actions like that :( Hehe. Concert was amazing.

The first ever real concert I went to was in 2016 called Frost Fest IV. Got to hear allot of popular local Metal bands. Best thing about the concert is that it's free and people are encouraged to bring toys for donation. I spent the whole night in the mosh pit. It's an annual concert that happens every November and I've been to every one since 2016.

You lucky B'stard! I always wanted to see Zeppelin, oldest brothers mate used to go to Knebworth.

Great show and last tour, John Bonham died months later and they broke up.

They ruled the world for a good while, I've still got my old vinyl Lp's though they're packed away now.

Rock am Ring 2004
I don't like hard rock but at the time I just wanted to party with others for a few days away from my Mom.

Picture this, the year was 2000 and the band was Papa Roach at the Birmingham Academy.
