I saw many concerts at SPAC growing up...but not that Men at Work show.

Loverboy at Merriweather!  I think it was 1981.

That's pretty funny.  I don't know of anyone else that would even admit to going to this one, much less it being their first.

My first 9:30 show was around that same time.  The Church in '84.  Probably in the summer, when I was home from school.

Quiet Riot and Keel.  Maybe 1986 or 1987.  You can't name a greater tour in the history of rock than Quiet Riot and Keel.  Both bands, on one stage.  In an amusement park in northeastern Pennsylvania.  Truly a spectacle.  I don't know what happened Keel.  But damn.  You can't rock harder than Keel and Quiet Riot.

Papa Roach and Hed PE at powerplant in b-more
 
 I was in 8th grade at the time.
 
 don't worry, my taste in music have expanded since then.

[Frank Gallagher]

Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel at the Apollo in Manchester...YES! I'm that old.  

[K8teebug]

New Kids on the Block....and Dino...god that's awful....but at least I told the truth!

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

It's amazing how so many people's first concerts are utter crap!    Taste is definitely something that is developed over time....

Ok, call me cheesy or whatever you want.  I saw Queensryche and Suicidal Tendencies at the Norfolk Scope when I was in the eighth grade.  I still to this day can rock out to "Operation Mindcrime" like there is no other band out there.  It was awesome, and yes, I drooled over Geoff Tate.

That's not cheesy. I've seen Suicidal Tendencies and they kicked ass live.
