First Concert / Last Concert

First Concert: Emerson, Lake & Palmer in 1974. I thought I was going to see Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. So many names. So confusing.

Last Concert: Slash w/ Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, February 2022.

First: Iron Maiden in 1995
Last: Iron Maiden in 2016

I’m not a big fan of concerts. Too many people. The best one I’ve been to was Uriah Heep in 2012. They played at a little festival nobody’s ever heard of.

Last concert was The Darkness, with Southern River Band playing first (they were great, the singer has an awesome mullet and great stage presence). Next concert will be G n’ R (Axl, Slash and Duff) with the Cosmic Psychos and The Chats as support acts.

My last concert was Samantha Fish a couple of weeks ago and before that was Rammstein back in the summer.

1st concert ever was Metallica. Since they don’t come often to Germany that was a no brainer…

Last one was ATEEZ… That was a lot of fun… Was only able to croak the next day :rofl:

I don’t know if it counts, but I saw Nita Strauss on Saturday and she played three songs :smile:

That’s awesome! Where at?

At a Guitar Center. When touring she does clinics. She did a Demi Lavato show the next day. Basically she played some songs, did some Q&A, told some stories, etc. Then we all got in line for autographs and a quick 20-30 second chat and photo op.

Next time she comes through I want to give her something for a change. She was super nice.

My first concert was about 2014/2015, took my dad to see Def Leppard for fathers day. Lita Ford and Poison opened. Great show.

Most recent, was also Def leppard, I think in 2018(memory fuzzy on years here). My wife and I saw them with Journey and Cheap Trick.

Actually, betweeen those two I saw them again as well with Tesla and Styx. Have always been a Def Leppard mega fan, and their concert tickets are in my experience very affordable. They put on one hell of a show too.

Yup, always very entertaining with great support acts.
I saw them in (I think) 2012 supported by Alice Cooper and Thin Lizzy. :metal:

First was Lynyrd Skynrd July 4th 1975. I snuck in the venue by riding the back of a beer truck. The last one was Buckethead in 2017 (?)…took my late wife to it. Halfway through she nudged me and said, “Damn, this guy is good”. What an understatement.
