I need to see Lucinda & The Bottle Rockets play

I havn't seen that many bands because I've lived in places where no cool bands ever played. First real concert I went to was seing AC/DC in 2000. Of course it was awesome!

my pop took me to see lucinda williams with the bottle rockets opening for her (i won't say how old i was but i definitely the youngest person there)...i was like wow!!! this is soooo cool, i think i played my guitar for like a week straight when i got home!!!
i even got to talk to lucinda after the show, she was really nice to me and gave me a guitar pick, which is sitting on top of my computer as i type...

Tiffany. Mid to Late 80s. A girl I liked was going. I haven't heard that singer again, but I did see the girl in a movie last year.

Blues Brothers Band, Summer Tour 1980, at the now non-existant Poplar Creek Music Theater, IL.

I thought I was so cool wearing my tour t-shirt the first day of 7th grade that fall. Still have the shirt, too.

Proud to say, barring an America concert I attended as a 3 year old in 1985, my first concert was Neil Young solo in Las Vegas, March 26, 1999. 4th row, I spent my everything I had as a sophmore in high school for that show. As I look back the set list and performance were a little half-hearted but as my first show it completely blew me away.

Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels! Late 60's at the local high school. I remember a controversy when someone (I guess Mitch) smashed a chair during the set...THE HORROR!

I'm 22 and my first concert was a free show.

Ken Mellons (remember that country song 'Jukebox Junkie'?

) at the Central WI State Fair in Marshfield, WI, Sept. '95. I don't remember much about it or if anyone else played.

First real show was John Paul Jones and King Crimson (headliner) in Nov. '01 at the Barrymore Theater in Madison. Mind-blowing.
