Rock concert, symphony, share your first or most favourite experiences, and if you really want to, your worst :original:
I'll try to recall what I can of memory.
I've only gone to a couple of rock concerts... The first rock concert I went to was the The Tea Party playing during the Calgary Stampede. My sister couldn't find anyone else going, so I went along with her. It was an outdoor concert, I didn't really know any of the songs, and of course there were people smoking all sorts of stuff. It started raining quite heavily, making it that much cooler of a concert
I've watched the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra play quite a few times. The first was September 27, 2003, or my sister's 17th birthday. I went with my dad and her and we got rush seating, that is to say which seats we got depended on which weren't preordered. We ended up getting amazing seats though, not too close to the orchestra, but at the front, and right in the centre. I believe they started with our (Canada) national anthem as a formality but they haven't done that since. Anyways, they ended with Sibelius' Second Symphony, basically getting me hooked on classical music.

I have to say this....I'm really sorry for ya. :laughing: I had a great time and I took my younger brother to his first concert too in 2001, Slayer/Morbid Angel/Pantera. The best one I've seen though was Halford/Testament/Immortal. :original:

Hm, well, I haven't been to a true concert yet, though I have been at a show in Las Vegas where these four men dressed up and played songs from the Beatles- they sounded so similar to them as well! Although they didn't exactly resemble them they had pleasant voices, and any negative comments I have about that show are not with me. After all, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Except STDs, you get those and you're in for it.

For me that was legendary, I've spent 14 years playing guitar, and the first songs I learned were by Judas Priest, and it was only 30 minutes or less away so I consider that pretty close. I don't go to everyone that gets around, but I'm 22 and I've been about 8 concerts so far. I really would've liked to have seen Death with Chuck or Nightwish. Originally Posted by Justinian

I play clarinet in my school concert band. We play quite regularly around the area, and go on tour. Last year we went to brighton, france before that, and soon we are going somewhere else.. not sure where. We play at the queens flowershow thing in sandringham ect.
Last concert we did was last night where we played with the best brass band from norfolk or something like that.
Its a decent size band, around 60 to 80 people I think. Clarinets, flutes, oboes, trumpets, tubas, percussion, saxaphones, trombones, everything you need really
I really want the band to play the 1812 overture, mainly because it ends with massive bells and cannons being fired
Havnt been to a proper rock concert yet, ive seen my friends band play though.Last edited by Drunken; March 05, 2006 at 07:28 AM.

July 2002 Green Day/ Blink 182. Bands I used to like but have since grown out of. It was a rather awesome concert being in the front row and all. The best part was probably during the Blink 182 set when a platform was raised which held the drummer and all his equiptment, the entire platform began to turn head over heels while the drummer continued playing. Quite a stunt if you ask me.
Thank you for reading this assuredly fantastic post. -

the first ever gig i went to was raging speed horn, but there was less than 1000 people, so id say the first proper concert i went to was rage against the machine, one of their last gigs in the UK.

:O you saw RATM??? You lucky git!
I'd love to have seen em....morecuriousthanbold.com -
First concert I ever went to? An Eric Clapton- Bob Dylan concert when I was 14 months old.
First Concert I remember? Easy one. Rolling Stones, their first U.S performance on August 21st of last year. Trust me, though some people have said the stones were not stellar at the Super-Bowl, they were absolutely stunning at that concert.
My Favorite concert? Once again, Easy. Paul McCartney on the 25th of September last year. Think of all his good solo stuff, then add in the Beatles, and you've got an amazing performance.
HeheIt would have to take a legend doing a concert (like Paul McArtney or Pink Floyd) or a band I like doing one really close to me.

My first notable concert (when I was real young I went to a few symphonies, but I don't recall them that well) was held by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in the winter of 2005 before Christmas.
The show was pretty amazing. The lazer-work was nifty, the music was grand, and the atmosphere was great. It helped set in the "Christmas atmosphere." -
I saw them one year just before Christmas too, great show. :original: I have yet to see Savatage independently though. Originally Posted by Krusoth_the_Plague
