Led Zeppelin. Nineteen hundred and seventy-four. From literally the last row back in the old Garden (Boston). It was loud and kind of scary and Robert Plant wasn't wearing any shoes--utterly shoeless.

I've never been to a real concert before, well, I've been to a couple of gigs before, but nothing as big as the one I'm going to in August: I am seeing the Pogues!

So, the first (I guess you could call "real") concert I'm going to will be the Pogues, and I couldn't be happier. Not only are they coming to Norway, but my first real concert experience will be of my favourite band!

Oh, Frith...this question. Well, time to swallow my pride and answer.

1. Barry Manilow - 1980 or 1981, I think. With me mum.
2. Kansas - 1982 or 1983ish
3. James Brown - probably 1984 or so.

I guess the third time was the charm.

1977-ish Trooper with openers Zon at Kentville Arena in Kentville, Nova Scotia

Kim was the only one with a license (and a car), so we all piled in to her Galaxie 500 and rawked!

"Here for a good time", indeed

In 1981 this may have been totally terrible, but today it gives you ironic hipster points, so don't worry.

Oh, good. I do so love being an ironic hipster.

Barry Manilow as Bette Midler's accompanist in the gay bathouses of Manhattan. Now that's what I call an ironic hip.

Tragically hip. Simpler times...

1984 and Swedish metal band Europe. I was only listening to metal as a young teenager. The Pogues played in my hometown the year after but I had never heard about them at the time.

1997 Cheap Trick in Kalamazoo, MI. Went with my brother and girlfriend(now my wife). Had a blast, still remember it like yesterday.

John Denver gave a free concert in the gym at St. Mary's Univ.

My first real, paid concert was the 1996 Sex Pistols reunion at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC. I saw the reunited Pogues there about a decade later.
