Your FIRST Rock Concert...

[Concord]

I was really into Christian rock back when I was in high school, and I went to a bunch of those concerts... I remember going to a sort of Christian "Woodstock" back in the 80s... an all weekend long outdoor festival.

Tell me you didn't go see Stryper?

Either ZZ Top or Judas Priest here in Amarillo around 1982, somewhere bout then. I would have been 14 or so.

Don't really remember which was first. Probably ZZ, since they are from around here they played here all the time but the first one I remember very well was Priest, Screaming for Vengance. Man, that was a great concert.

My first "mainstream" concert was Depeche Mode... I think back in 1990.

I don't know if any of that qualifies as "rock" .

I'll bet you were into Petra.

I promoted a bunch of those outdoor Christian festivals.

Man, those must have been great shows...especially if they were your first. '92 was a great year for music.

They were awesome! One of my friends tried to get on the field at the Metallica/GNR concert by jumping from the stands with arms spread wide. It was so awesome to watch for about two seconds until he landed and broke his leg (missed the entire show).

Good news is that some of the guys on the field handed the rest of us their ticket stubs so we just walked right in, what an intense experience!

I don't think I made it to any Stryper concerts, but I did have an album or two of theirs.

We have a winner! I was a huge Petra fan.

I got a picture somewhere of John Schlit and I horsing around backstage at one of the concerts. If I can find it I will post it. We were giving everyone backstage piggyback rides and playing chicken.

Believe it or not Brainpaint liked some of their stuff as well.

 

[Achozen]

Never been to a rock concert, but the first concert I ever went to was the "Up In Smoke" tour when I was 11.

Good times.

 

[Doomsday101]

Best concert I think I have ever seen was 1977 Pink Floyd "Animals Tour"
