Your First Concert was.....

Depeche Mode at the LA Coliseum in 1998 during the live recording of the "101" album. It was an incredible day with opening acts OMD, Thomas Dolby, and Wire Train. This was back in the day when the local alternative radio station, KROQ was in its prime with Jed The Fish, Poorman, and Richard Blade. At one point, the entire stadium was involved in food fight! This still ranks of one of my favorite concert experiences.

WOW! There are some awesome bands listed! Unfortunate that many were before my time. Not sure how representative this thread is but it definitely implies that audiophiles on this site are from a generation before mine. This is not meant as an insult. I find it sad that there are not more younger audiophiles but I guess in this fast paced age of ipods, napster, digital music, etc its hard to see the value of spending good money on a big, immobile system that you have to sit down and listen to. Too bad.

The Alarm, 1985 at Irvine Meadows. To this day, I think they are one of the best "conscious rock" bands of all time. Too bad, U2 came out at the same time or else The Alarm would have enjoyed more commercial success.
