Testament, Megadeath and Judas Priest - Painkiller 1988 or 1989, I can't remember. o.O
Favorite? Kid Rock at SC last year! He killed it!! There was something sublime about headbanging to Bawitdaba in the midst of 50,000 country fans in the desert.....

KL and IHML have gone to see them recently, so don't worry about it. It's music, you like what you like, what moves you. I hate music snobs. If you don't like it, don't listen.

First concert: Bryan Adams. I was 11(?), so 17 years ago? Don't go doin' the math now!
I honestly cannot pick a favorite. Aerosmith is my all time, ever favorite and I've seen them 5 times, but in high school and early college my friends and I went to see *Nsync alllll over the place. Saw them 20+ times. Those are great memories.
I have to agree with Trisa - Kid Rock was AMAZING last year. Joe Nichols in Vegas was a trip/experience.
They're all based on experience, really!

Guns N Roses/Skid Row in 88 @ Nassau Coliseum
BEST? OVERALL as a complete show... Once Blue/Lisa Loeb and Nine Tails @ Irving Plaza NYC 96?
NON Overall (meaning, another band on the bill SUCKED) Boss Hog/Lo-Hi around the end of 2000 @ Mercury Lounge in NYC, the delta 72 played in between, and, they were loud, and blew... nothing is WORSE than a horrible band, at ear splitting levels.

My first was Rihanna on the girl like me tour with trey songz opening for her.
but to pick a favorite, the 2009 fearless tour with gloriana, kellie pickler and taylor swift is the best i have ever been too but i love SC 08 and 09, Rodney Carrington was an amazing show, Rodney Atkins i enjoyed i got to meet him after the show. Josh turner was amazing.. and many more they are all good in their own way
