Huey Lewis and the News in Manchester, NH when I was about 9. I stood on a chair so I could see (some things never change.)

I believe it was Madonna. During her Like a Virgin Tour at Madison Square Garden.

Amy Grant at the United Center. It was for church...

That's when I realized that Christians are crazy.

Oh, and Greg was there, too.

I think it was something with my parents, trying to show us culture up in Maine...either Ladysmith Black Mambazo or the Vienna Boys Choir.
First real concert with friends: either Phish, Tribe called Quest and De la Sol, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Eddie Money and Quiet Riot, Warp tour or Violent Femmes....i really can't remember but they were all around the same time. This was the longest lamest answer....sorry.

Grateful Dead pre-birth, but the first one I remember was the Jets, when I was 9. How did you know, cause I never told...I've got a CRUSH ON YOU. How wholesome is that!

The SPIN DOCTORS at Great America in Santa Clara, CA. I was in the 7th grade and it was a day concert!!

Alanis Morrisette. I was 13 and it was a friend's birthday party or something. All I really remember is that the people beside us passed us a joint and I said no. It was just like they said in DARE class!

Mine was Dave and Tim acoustic too! It was at the Whit at UNH. It was also the first time I did tequilla slammers. I remember being pissed that I missed satellite because I had to go to the bathroom. Haha.

Judy Collins. Outdoor stage in Bethelhem, PA. I was 5 and threw a fit and totally ruined the experience for my parents.

I hate to admit it, but it was Usher. Around 1997. He sucked. Big surprise.

New Kids on the Block at Foxboro Stadium...it was amazing. Sarah Bruno was there too.

Justin, I bet you and I were at the same concert. Whitney Houston at Holman Stadium in Nashua, NH. It was pre-"The Bodyguard", early Bobby Brown (he even came on stage for a duet). We were on the way home from the Pheasant Lane Mall and we begged our dad to take us. I was 14.
