Who was the first band you saw live?

moth:

(This is a question going around Tumblr.)

My first concert: The Cure headlined, but The Pixies and Love and Rockets opened, so I guess the Pixies were the first band I ever saw live. I was fourteen: August 20, 1989, Giants Stadium. The bands had just released the albums Disintegration, Doolittle, and Love and Rockets.  Do I win this thread, or what?

[not my actual ticket]


New Kids on the Block, Oakland Coliseum, 1989. I was 12. SUCK IT, SHEY.
