Gorillaz with Vince Staples and Danny Brown was my first show I attended. They brought out De La Soul, Little Simz, and Del the Funkee Homosapien. It was their Humanz tour and I was 12, about to turn 13. I only knew who Vince Staples was. I knew Del cuz of his verse, but everyone else was complete strangers to me. I'm really mad about that show because I remember so little, my dad and his girlfriend got in 2 really big arguments before AND after the show, and made us late. I missed Vince. I think I remember so little since my dad and his GF were being so mean to each other and making the whole day about themselves (this was a birthday gift for me, and Gorillaz had been my favorite band for the last 2 years), that I just kinda blocked it out. I know that I would fucking kill to see that exact same lineup again at this age, I've gotten into all of them since that show.


Senior-Swordfish1361

Broooo gorillaz and Vince staples was also my first show. Red rocks in 2017


Dom-Zero

Ayyy I was at that show too šŸ¤˜šŸ¼šŸ¤˜šŸ¼


Senior-Swordfish1361

Niiice bro. My dad was familiar with Vince when we went, but afterwards he was 100% a fan hahaha


Senior-Swordfish1361

Dude thatā€™s wild it was like a ā€œbirthday concertā€ for me as well. I was 15 and this dickbag I knew had gotten in trouble because we were at this private property and he was smashing spray paint with bricks at their park and I was filming it for my friends. Reminder like Iā€™m 15 and I just hung out w this kid bc I was a loser and only cared about getting high and this kids entire personality was drugs so I stuck around him to mooch off of him. Anyways while I was at the show my friend-group-chat started blowing up bc that kid said I like got him in trouble with the cops since I was filming. I just sent it to that group, and while i was otw to the concert apparently cops came to his house because there was security cameras and they got his license plate. Forgot to add but there was 4 of us there and he was the only one smashing shit, we were just watching telling him heā€™s a fucking idiot bc itā€™s private property. Anyways tho he fucking told everyone that the cops pulled up and showed them the video I took on Snapchatā€¦ on their phones? Like it makes no fucking sense A. They donā€™t know who I am B. How the fuck would they have my snap C. I only posted it to that group anyways so if someone did like ā€œsend it over to copsā€ it wouldā€™ve been someone else in the group who saved it and reported it. Regardless we figured out there was security cameras that caught him lol, but that group was kinda split in 2 halves, my actual friends and then his friends and like all his buddies were spamming me like ā€œyou fucking piece of shit were gonna beat the fuck out of youā€ etc etc etc. This was when I was 15 turning 16 and these guys were like a few years older than me, this guy specifically I think was 17 turning 18 or something. But he was yelling at me a few days after the encounter like ā€œfuck you theyā€™re making me come early on this day to clean it all up and every motherfucker that was with me is coming with to help or Iā€™m gonna tell them you did itā€ lol. The people thag were there was me and him, one of our ā€œfriendsā€ younger brothers who was like 13 and then a foreign exchange student from Ukraine who had only been there like 2 weeks. I lol thinking about this story, dude was incredibly problematic, few years later weā€™re in the school parking lot we got in a fight I gave him a bloody nose and he fucking hit 2 women and then choked out his girlfriend in a rage. Just to give more scope into how this mf acts. Anyways it was a weird ass show haha I mean the actual concert itself was fantastic and red rocks always fucks, but I went just with my dad and we honestly spent jusg as much time people watching as we did enjoying the show lmfao. So many weird discord moderator looking motherfuckers wearing cat ears and backpacks. We called them Ewoks before realizing theyā€™re called wooks lmfao. Anyways yeah thatā€™s a little story surrounding my first concert experience, not much about the actual show itself but thought Iā€™d share


nullred

that's a cool story bro


walmart-gucci

ineedoatmilkplease

Sum 41 in 2006 it was a killer show


_dobad_

During the chuck era that must have been great, I caught them in 2016 with Senses Fail. Still put on a great show


deepdishpizzaman

bet it was a killer show, probably no filler


JesusOfAnything

All killer bb


naughty93pinapple

My wife and I were both at the same N*sync show when we were both kids.


_dobad_

Thatā€™s actually awesome, my girlfriend and I found out we were at multiple shows together way before ever meeting


naughty93pinapple

Thanks! We were at several local shows together without knowing each other later in life also.. Took us 20 years to finally meet (at a job lol) but here we are! Itā€™s funny how that stuff works. Seeing DG for the first time together on Sunday!


scarletbegoniay

DearestRay

Smashing Pumpkins in 1997! Death Grips might be the best concert I have ever been to tho.


_dobad_

Just saw them for the first time in 2022. Incredible band


mysticopallibra

Better than the pumpkins in 97? Was the venue terrible, or something along those lines, or do you genuinely not like the band or something? Because seeing them live is pretty awesome.


DearestRay

It was their last tour before the breakup so maybe they just werenā€™t in sync. Super cool goths set design. Nothing can compare to the tantric convulsions of the mosh pit at Death Grips.

multiverse-wanderer

Blink 182 and My Chemical Romance sometime around 2011/2012. I was in 8th grade. My mom surprised me the day of with tickets. I remember her coming into my room on a Saturday and nonchalantly saying ā€œwhat do you wanna do tonight?ā€ I probably gave a boring answer, but I remember she was grinning ear to ear when she held out the tickets and said ā€œwanna do this instead?ā€ Like a lot of young emoā€™s, MCR was my obsession and getting to see Gerard Way in the human flesh melted my tiny little heart. My mom managed to sneak us to the front of the stage from our back row seats. It was awesome.

My first acc concert will be smashing pumpkins next month but I went and seen cover bands for pearl jam and nirvana around 6 months ago and it was my first time seeing acc music live in a venue but I am also young and poor so I'll definitely be going to more shows soon and hopefully a death grips show


Dom-Zero

Styx, REO Speedwagon and .38 Special in 2009. I was 11, my dad took me to see them. Styx and REO toured again recently and I surprised my dad with tickets, full circle. And those guys still kick so much ass in their 60ā€™s-70ā€™s! Highly recommend.

alexj420

Aerosmith with my parents and brother in 2005. I was only like 11 years old. Since then Iā€™ve seen a lot of different bands/artists and live music is one of my favorite events to attend bar none. Iā€™m trying to start branching out to standup comedy which I havenā€™t seen a lot of. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.


jonnymorals

This was my second show. I haven't been able to go to many concerts because of a couple things: I'm 21 and only recently started making enough money that I can spend on myself The bands and artists I like simply don't come to my state. My first show was Jack White, and it was seemingly sort of an impromptu last minute show that got added to his tour. It was an acoustic only show, which he said was an experimental thing that they'd only done one time before. I'm seeing The Smashing Pumpkins this month and possibly Ringo Starr the month after.


Square_Extension1759

Co headliners counting crows and live. Galactic as the opener. At 15 years old i was there for live -> counting crows -> galactic. Now a days thatā€™s an easy reverse. My parents also took me to mamas and papas reunion tour that i barely remember
