I just realized that the first concert I ever went to was the Beach Boys in 1965 and the last concert I ever sent to was the Beach Boys in 2008.
I'm not much of a concert goer. I saw Canned Heat in 66 or 67. And the Beach Boys in between 1965 and 2008 in 1995.I just realized that the first concert I ever went to was the Beach Boys in 1965 and the last concert I ever sent to was the Beach Boys in 2008.
Well considering that I listed pretty-much all of the concerts I have attended in the past 45 years I'd say I am not either.I'm not much of a concert goer.

I think Body Count was the supporting act
First concert was Guns n' Metallica '91 in San Diego. I think Body Count was the supporting act.
Most recent show was Rehab in Dallas.
In between is too many to list, but included Korn, FFDP, Steve Miller, Green Jelly, Primus, Nirvana, Psychostick, and one time Alanis Morrissette because you do stupid things for girls you're seeing.
Love the Gorge Amphitheater. Saw Dave Matthews Band there. My first concert was Nirvana with the Breeders at the Omni in Atlanta on their In Utero Tour. Have seen a bunch of bands here in Portland at the smaller theathers but my last concert I saw before COVID was Tool.I'm 54. I went to my first rock concert in 1986; Rush, Power Windows. Every once in a while I try to remember, in order, every concert I've been to, and I always tend to miss one. Here goes, not in order because beer: Rush, The Who, Boston (twice), Alabama, The Pretenders, Aerosmith, Heart (at the old ColourBoxx in Seattle, I was about 3 feet from Ann Wilson), The Stones, Tom Petty, Steve Miller, Rod Stewart, Concrete Blonde, Cherry Poppin Daddies (one hell of a show at the old Fenix Underground in Seattle), Styx, Bad Company, Billy Squier (the previous three all in one show at the Columbia Gorge), Billy Joel, and just last year Green Day with Weezer and Fallout Boy. The one concert regret I have is never getting to see Queen; easily my favorite band, but they stopped touring in 87 or 88, after Freddie was diagnosed. Would have been awesome to see.
Marty Stuart is nothing short of fantastic. He's forgotten more about music than most singer-songwriters have ever known. If you haven't seen Ken Burn's series Country Music, you owe it to yourself to watch it. Marty Stuart shows off his musicality as well as his in-depth knowledge. It's a real Master Class.Marty Stuart is not a name lots of people are familiar with. Great singer/songwriter for many years. My first concert was Blood Sweat and Tears. I was a Sophomore in high school. 72 or 73, my older sister drove me and my date. Many, maybe hundreds of shows since then. We saw Yonder Mountain String Band in Austin last week.
I saw Strawberry Alarm Clock going through a set at a barn back in the sixties.Blood Sweat and Tears played at my high school back in the early 70's. It was outdoors, with the stage set up on the football field and attendees sitting on the bleachers. Those who didn't want to pay the couple bucks admission sat on "cheapskate hill" overlooking the football stadium.
I saw Tommy James and the Shondells warming-up at a VFW hall back in the mid sixties.
Told my best friends sister they were there and she lost it!
I also remember standing outside and listening to the Cryan Shames play at the Blue Village in Westmont IL.
