KGRG Green River benifit show, I was 15, 1995, play list:
Supersuckers
North american bison
Bottomfeeders
Investigators
The next one I went to was when I was 16, and it was in buckley of all
places. Funny thing is michael was at that show too
Salon Betty and the big hair sex circus
Tho the benifit was my first show, salon betty was the first BEST show Iīd
been too.
By far, the Bauhaus "resurrection" tour of ī98 is my all time top fav...as
well as me and michaelīs first real "date"..if staring at each other across
a taco bell table in auburn doesnīt count

I was 18 and it was... err.. *CoughJackylCough*. Lol.. I really liked
them.. and it was free. Type O Negative opened for them, and, at the time,
I hated *them*. Stupid me. Iīm kicking myself now.. I was like *thisclose*
to Peter Steele! I wound up on stage at the end of the show! It was really
cool!

Iīve been going to every weird concert I could find since I was allowed to
take the bus on my own, but the one that changed my life, so to speak, was
the "Black Celebration Tour" - Depeche Mode.
I had never dreamed that somthing like that feeling existed - the punch,
the pulse, the larger-than-life overwhelming mass-suggession... The
lights, the pounding bass in my chest and stomach... And Dave Gahanīs
later famous spin at "A Question Of Time"...
From that moment I knew that music was going to be my life... I donīt
think Iīve ever had that feeling again later, sometimes I miss it a lot,
like the very first time you have really mindblowing sex. Since then Iīve
been on stage many times myself, and damn, thatīs a kick, too!
Just remembered - at the mentioned concert, I actually went backstage, the
starry-eyed, big-haired brat I was... And all I could think of asking was
if they knew The Alarm, my past favourite band... :-P
And to anyone who saw Bauhaus: Donīt tell me all the good bands play in
Europe :smile:

I was thirteen, Debbie Harry (Blondie) opened for the Ramones and Tom Tom
Club closed the show. Iīll never forget the sun setting over the edge of
the Greek theatre as, after getting all psyched up watching Debbie Harry
practically strip on stage, The Ramones stepped into the fading light and
lit a fire in my brain.

My first concert was either Gwar or Aerosmith, not sure which came first.
Aerosmith was good, it just sounded too scripted. Gwar was great though.
Went to Respect on Saturday.
They threw the diaper guy out for "jerkin it" as it was said to me, and as
to who the diaper guy is, well he is the guy who shows up to all the
Halloween or fetish shows in a diaper, I think heīs about 50 or so. Scary
stuff...

Yeah, my first -attempt- to go to a concert was Santa Anita. Five bucks to
get in, and I think it was Weezer or Blink and some other cool bands. But
we didnīt have a ride, so we couldnīt go.
I guess my first concert was at my friendīs house... Had like five punk
bands playing in his living room. The music wasnīt that great, but this
drunk girl kept hugging me. Thatīs all I remember. ;-)

Kat you brought to mind the depeche mode concert I did get to go
to...michael waited in line for an HOUR and then at the last minute all
these garth brookes fans showed up at the LAST MINUTE and they did a
lotterly, landing him at the ass end of the line and scoring us halfway
nosebleed tickets
But even from our seats, it was so goddamned awesome, they did THREE
encores, finally exhausted they ended with "just canīt get enough" and i
think the crowd collectively pissed itself!
Iīm not much of a type O fan, but I have to admit that peter steele is one
BIG GIGANTIC MONOLITHIC MOTHERFUCKER!!
And as close as you were to him, I was that close to peter fucking
murphy....imagine a dark music hall in seattle (the paramont for anyone
that knows the area)...a tense, anxious crowd of ALL age ranges, waiting in
absolute dark for five minutes when out of the disorienting darkness you
hear stage right david jīs bass thrumming out the opening chords to "bela
lugosiīs dead" for a WHOLE MINUTE. You could FEEL the tension and
AWE....and then one light, peter murphy, and you realise the band had been
there since the lights went down...waiting...loving it, loving the crowd,
in silence. When peter appeared the SURGE towards the stage was
UNREAL...the whole night was unreal.
This band broke up when I was TWO! And there I was, 18, all but able to
touch cultural icons!
Michaelīs got me beat tho...heīs touched peter murphy, been right up about
three feet from him, and talked to David J at the aerospace when he did a
dj stint there. He was also at the last love and rockets show.
Heīs got some years on me, and experiences on me, but the bauhaus show will
be enough to last me a LIFETIME.
ANYONE that gets to see a concert for the first time, or just their
FAVORITE artists, knows how it feels...not just in them, but the feel of
all those around them all focused intently on one thing.
The music that changed their lives.
Call me a lame ass (Youīre a lame ass!) Iīve never, ever ever seen the
cure. Ever. Iīm a cure freak. Never saw them. I wonīt die until I"ve
seen them.
GODDAMMIT COME TO THE NORTHWEST NEXT TIME ROBERT OR I"LL DO HORRIBLE THINGS
IN YOUR NAME!!!!

Mine was a Beck concert. My brother got the tickets for me. Iīve never been
a very big fan of Beck, but it was cool. He made a nice show and things
really took off, especially when he played "Loser".

Oh yeah, forgot - Bettie, your story confirmed my suspicion: Garth Brooks
fans should be shot at sight. I worked long enough in a record shop to
know... :-x
