That was probably awesome! I saw them in either late '78 or early '79--after their first SNL appearance--at a theater in-the-round in Owen's Mills Maryland. It was one of my most cherished moments, and the very first time I ever saw wireless mics and guitars in use. The lead guitarist was playing leads while walking over the arms of seats in the theater . . . and the first song they played on stage (they played some films first) was Uncontrolable Urge. Mark Mothersbaugh comes running down one of the aisles singing, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah . . ." hits the stage, does a forward roll, leaps to his feet, spins to face the audience just as he finishes . . . "YEAH!"

We freaked.

Okay, if Hink can reveal what his first album was, I suppose I can let y'all play "laugh at Meffy." :-)

Depending on what you consider a concert, my first concert was either "Jesus Christ, Superstar" or...

*takes big breath*

... Neil Diamond. Went with my mom.

No, wait! I'm serious. Maybe a third of what he performed that night was silly dreck. But more than half of the show he rocked HARD. He still had the energy back in the early 1970s to open up his voice on the good oldies. "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" had me ready to convert to the Born-Again Southern Diamond Synod (tent revivals, kosher fried chicken, mmm).

To hear him belt out his gutsy oldies was worth suffering through the more recent songs.

Now you may laugh. :-D

Oh, right -- about my mom. She raised me on the words of beat poets and the sounds of Janis Joplin and Stan Kenton; she was generally very sharp, and way hip. (Except that one Boxcar Willie album. =o.O=)

Obituary were f**king GREAT live..I saw them many times, but I liked em best on the first LP.

Definitely, they tore the place up. That show was probably in the top 5 best shows I've ever been too, strangely enough. So much energy, I can't even describe it really. Had to be there. I got to hang out backstage for a bit (my friend Dean was in Disfigured), and I remember the singer from Accidental Suicide telling me and my friend how he had to write lyrics about all this ill shit (necro/sorcery/cannabalism, you name it), otherwise he'd actually go and do it. I'm still not sure if he was just f**king with us or what, because he was a really nice guy.

There was Stevie Wonder in the 80's, but I was only like 9 or 10 and I don't remember much.
That's about as sharp a contrast as is humanly possible, I think.

Yeah, I grew up on Motown, Sly Stone, James Brown - stuff like that, and got into death metal in the rebellious early teen years. I still listen to Carcass and Napalm Death ocassionally. That shit was awesome. My mom took me to see Stevie. Wish I could remember it, but I was pretty young.

Simple Minds, 1985-ish, I went alone as 15-16 yr old and after a while in the front row I almost fainted due to the crowd's pressure.

I thought they were great and the support band were surprisingly good too - some outfit called Queen. Wonder what became of them

Regards,

Derek.

Snap! but I saw the tour at Victoria Hall, Hanley, Staffs and it must have been Autumn 1973. It was Queen's first ever national tour.

queen started to become increasily huge from '75 on... ('bohemian rhapsody') - in '77 both 'we will rock you' and 'we are the champions' saw the light of day so I highly doubt that they were supporting anyone in the late 70's...

First concert you ever attended?
