First concert with a friend, not parents (but his parents): Oak Ridge Boys at Tingley Colloseum, 7th grade. Obviously a part of the New Mexico State Fair. What I remember is they put on a very good, very polished show. Now let's see how awesome the video is. Second concert, first without any parents: Starship, summer between 7th and 8th grade. Don't play that video, whatever you do. Read this instead. Third concert, first with any real intention of actually wanting to see the show: Opening act was Skid Row. So much hair. Aerosmith's stage was designed to look like a rooftop. Steven Tyler hobbled out on a cane, then fell over into a cartwheel like Willy Fucking Wonka. It was dope AF. Got my first girlfriend out of that show. We made out about two weeks later in the theater for National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, then she dumped me right after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
I remember that oral history. That was a good one. Went to high school with Sebastian Bach and our parents were friends. He comes from a very talented family and from his early teens walked around like a rock star: tight leather pants, vests, leather jackets with the sleeves pushed up, lots of jewelry, etc; and saying he was going to be a rock star. Hated the guy, Have to give it to him though, from a young age he knew what he wanted and did become somewhat of a "rock star". He still goes back to his small town hometown and hangs out with high school friends.
