Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles live.  It was kind of a musical, but awesome at the time.  I still have a cassette tape with studio versions of the songs, and it's surprisingly good for 80s-sounding rock/pop.

It was Fall Out Boy for me. Not the best first concert but oh well.

 

[Texpect]

The Crash was the first I ever saw I guess. Great band btw.

Ratt, Kix and Britney Fox. Philly Spectrum, 1989? I was 15 and we got stinking drunk on wine coolers.
 
In retrospect, not my proudest moment.

This wasn't my first concert but I saw this tour in Columbus, OH.  It was the worst sound of any show I've ever heard.  Bass overpowered everything.  Robin Crosby's drunk backing vocals ruined most of the songs.  One of the worst shows I've ever seen.

I'd be lying if I said I remembered much of the concert. It was my first drunk.

 
I do recall my whole group standing on your seats with middle fingers high during the whole Britney Fox set. Somehow, their glam metal was offensive to us, while Ratt's glam metal was perfectly OK. It made so much sense at the time.

I am almost embarressed to say it, but, it was Jim Stafford. Anybody remember him? I was about 12 or 13 and my sister got stuck taking me along. It was at the Eastern Montana State college gymnasium. Man, them college girls looked good. Must have been about 1970 or 71. It actually turned out to be a fun time.

That dude didn't like spiders or snakes!

Like 5 years ago, Dark Tranquillity with Scar Symmetry and i forget who, never forget walking in to those pounding bass drums at the HOB. I think i even hit Disneyland before it as i had a pass at the time.

Scorpions & Ratt in 1985 in Tacoma,WA.  Was rendered nearly deaf for next 3 days.  Also got to watch a girl beat up a drunken midget who tried to steal her ticket.

Depeche Mode, Black Celebration tour '86 in Bercy. Man, that was something... Truly something.
