Rick Springfield with Quarterflash opening for him. I think I was 18. And for the record, I was positive we would lock eyes in the crowd of a bazillion people and the rest would be history.

Violent Femmes-20 (late bloomer) May be a late bloomer, but that's an awesome first concert! I wish I was that cool. As for me- Michael Jackson. 7th or 8th grade. Maybe 1984???

Michael Stanley Band at Blossom Music Center near Cleveland. I was 16. There should be a prize for anyone who knows this band (and a bigger prize if that person is not from Cleveland or New Jersey)!

I haven't been to a lot of concerts because I can't handle huge crowds but this was back in the day, when you weren't sure if they would make it through the weekend much less make it big. They used to play all sorts of little places and college gigs and stuff all over Wisconsin.

NKOTB when they first came out. I don't remember the year. LOL! I'm thinking early 90's. I graduated in 92 and I know it was before that. I think it was when Step By Step came out.
