Your first gig?

[annik]

What was the first gig you ever went to?

For me it was Placebo @ The Apollo, Manchester. With my best mate Laura when I was still at high school.

Of course I knew nothing about live music until I first saw the Manics!

Was one of Mudvayne's shows in some warehouse in Peoria.

My first gig was Judas Priest with Ripper Owens back in 2001 I think, I was 14 and ended up having a stupid accident, my right leg somehow got cought in the crowd... the result was a month with a plaster. Luckly it wasn't broken (my leg).

Anyways after that I went to many gigs, no other accident ever happened...

Ouch! Yeah I've had a few incidents thankfully none as bad as that though.

I don't even remember who the band was for my first concert/fgig. Some ****** half-rate rock band. Wasn't the greatest show... but who cares? It was my first. So I guess I had fun. lol

I'm not a concert or gig person. Been to a few orchestra events at the local culture center, as I was taken there in school...but I really enjoy my music relaxing down on the sofa, with a warm cup of tea in hand, and listening to the tunes pour out of my computer rather than try to derive some enjoyment in a sea of people, hardly seeing the performers themselves.

Last time I went to a live music event in 2009 there were some seats, but the jazz they played that night, I wouldn't even call it proper music, much less jazz.

 

[paulo]

Soulfly and Limp Bizkit.

i missed half of it though kinda.
the girl i was with passed out halfway through, i was watching her more than the music after that

I'm kind of like that myself, I have to really really like a band or something to see them live. I hate crowds and stuff. I'm totally not the sort of person who goes to gigs all the time or on the off chance. Only seen a handful of different people over the years (weirdly about 99% Welsh...) I'd have loved to have seen Jeff Buckley though or Suede...

Never been to a real concert or something where you'd call it a gig. I've been to a piano/accompaniment performance by some guy playing Rachmaninov though.

Would love to see the Manics live. Was it recent, or back towards their peak?



Not really a big gig person - my first proper gig was Oasis in Manchester park a few years ago - supported by Kasabian!

Was also supposed to be Reverend and the Makers as another support act, which would have added to what was pretty brilliant, but one of them was sick and they were replaced by The f***ing Enemy
:club::club:

Well it was post Richey but the first time was a good few years ago now. I've seen them quite a few times plus caught some dates of James' first solo tour.

Hmm I missed out on ever seeing Oasis, think my sister might have done but don't quote me that.

*edit* I'm actually listening to Motown Junk right now...

I only just got to see them in time - it was the last of two or three concerts in the huge park in the middle of Manchester - I think it was actually their last ever hometown gig!

My little part in rock history...

Yeah that's pretty cool.

My first gig was X-Session if I remember it well. Man, those nineties!

 

[DreamerDeceiver]

I've never been to a show or gig as of yet. I hope to in the future, if the bands still exist.

 

[floffyschneeman]

unfortunately, I don't live in a place where there would be free flowing good music. But don't get me wrong, a lot of the local bands and artists are promising just that, they tend to mingle by themselves or play at a place where you'd totally feel like an outsider if you go there alone. Either that or I'm just not good with people

Although I've once was lucky enough to catch a free performance of 'the company' an acapella group here. They're really good and laid back and it was fun cos they knew how to connect with the crowd.

I'd love to go to an unplugged performance though or like some sort of a mini concert where the ambiance is more intimate. And I also like the idea of catching a spontaneous street performance like what Lisa Hannigan would do.

Still it doesn't stop me from enjoying music of good artist in the comforts of my room.

P.S. Annik you've got very good taste of music! IMO

Thanks! You too I love Lisa Hannigan!!

 

[zaney]

Muse would be the first memorable one

 

[TheSolitaryMan]

I've never actually been to one. Fail

It was a "Thursday and Friends" type show. The Number 12 Looks Like You, Minus the Bear and Thursday. There was one other band, but I don't recall... Anyway, it was the New Daisy Theatre in Memphis, TN.
