Anaesthesine, I'm seriously jealous of your first concert.
Mine isn't quite as great.
First: Beach Boys - June 1980
Best: So many esp in smaller venues...Duran Duran 2003, Poi Dog 1996 (but I love every show), Big Audio Dynamite 1991, Tragically Hip 1996... but I gotta go with Morrissey Oct, 2007. After nearly 20 years on his trail, I get a handshake, the mic and a calf grope in one show.
Worst: I've never gone to anything I didn't want to see (unless you count Pearl Jam in 1994). What makes concerts bad are the people or the venues...like when I saw The Killers in 2006 at Congress Theater -it was a sea of cell phones and someone's mace went off in the crowd- and then the Decemberists in 2007 in Millennium Park. It was a free show and
everyone was there, it was shoulder to shoulder people, 100 degrees out (we welcomed when the rain came) and I couldn't see squat. My girlfriend had a panic attack and we left early.
Last: Pink, Sept 2009
Next: Handsome Devilz next Weds. And Morrissey, when he announces Chicago.
