Stone Temple Pilots + Meat Puppets at William and Mary Hall. Sweetness.
Nice
Hark upon the gale!
Supertramp… mid-80’s.
My buddy’s car broke down on the way home. Long before cellphones were a thing. Took a long time to get help and parents were freaked by time we called home.
Only been to a handful of concerts in my life… the first was a Village People tribute band when i was a kid.
The drive there was quite long. My friend’s father (who was taking us there) turned on an old pop radio station to get us in the mood. That drive introduced me to the Weather Girls “Its raining men”.
Ended up spending the whole concert thinking about that song instead of the live band playing.
Saw a relatively popular (at the time, and in Australia) alternative hand called TISM, supported by a pretty new act called Regurgitator that later became something of an institution on the Aussie alternative scene.
Both great bands to see live. What venue was this? I remember seeing the gurge at BDO and maybe Festival Hall I think, maybe the Corner or the Palace…
lol
Mariah Carey in 2003 (I think) in Berlin. My first gf, her friends and their mothers were my company. They got the tickets as a promo thing, one of the mothers worked at a radio station. At the time I was already listening to rock, punk and metal etc, I only went because I thought my gf would break up with me if I didn’t.
Did it all for the nookie.
My grandmother took me to see Liberace. Am I sure she enjoyed it more than I did.
The Pixies at Manchester Apollo, maybe 1990 /91
My friend had a spare ticket and I’d never heard the band before…Within a few seconds of the first song playing I realised I liked them. I ended up buying their albums and began my alternative/indie music journey
Don’t judge me. A double bill featuring The Osmonds and Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods. It was the mid-70s in southern california and my older sisters dragged me along with them to a concert at the local baseball stadium.
The Osmonds, for anyone not familiar
The first concert I chose to see was The Vandals and like 5 other punk bands in a warehouse in L.A. in the early 80s. Much better.
Phoenix Festival 1993 near Stratford in the UK. Lots of awesome bands- https://www.setlist.fm/festival/1993/phoenix-festival-1993-3d68dcf.html
Poison, Slaughter, and Bulletboys - June 4th 1991, Kingswood Music Theare Canada’s Wonderland.

The last gasp of hair metal, couple of months later Nevermind came out…
Next concert was Pantera & White Zombie.
Sigue Ros, just a couple years back
10/10
Madonna. the Girlie Show tour in Melbourne, something like 1993 I think. I (a 12 yr old boy) went with my sister and her friends (3-4 years older)… Man I felt awkward throughout - having a crush on one of my sister’s friends did not help.
I think Venetian Snares. Some guy spit his snus-bag at him at the end of the show and he just said “fuck this and fuck you” and left the stage and left his stuff screeching this unbelievable noise on the stage for at least 15 minutes. It seemed like he was gonna go on for a while longer. Sorry Aaron that my fellow countrymen are mentally challenged.
The other possibility is Mark Lanegan (I really don’t remember when these shows were) at his peak after Bubblegum. You could feel his voice resonating in your fucking lungs and it was absolutely magical. RIP Mark.
A punk rock show featuring Agent Orange. It’s been downhill ever since lol.
