dc Talk, age 17 with my friend Sarah's church youth group. (cuz her youth group was WAY cooler than my youth group.) even though I havent listened to it in years, I'm pretty sure if you put on their album "Jesus Freak" I could still sing along to every word, even the rapping parts.

and no, the black guy wasnt even the rapper in the group, it was that middle white guy.

 

[Sharron Needles]

Simon & Garfunkel at Dodger Stadium in 1983

First show ever: Johnny Cash playing at my dad's high school reunion around 1985 (they grew up in the same tiny Arkansas town).

X 1,000,000

This isn't me, of course, but my mother in law saw Frank Sinatra with Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. at the Sands in about '64. I am sooooo envious. I'd trade at least five Morrissey shows to see that. Maybe in the next world?

 

[Corrissey]

The monkees with Weird Al in 1987 , I was 13 years old.

that sounds kind of amazing.

I'll second that

 

[VetTechOnFire]

The Cure.....

 

[lovemorrissey]

Call me a total saddo but I used to have a serious Jimmy Nail obsession (lol) so he was the first I saw live in 1994 when I was 14

 

[Walkers Crisp]

The Police in Munich when I was 14.
My sister took me to see Iggy Pop around the same time.
Can't remember which was first.
