What was your first concert?

Sonic Youth at the Warfield. I was living in Berkely and my friend invited me out to see them. I had no clue who they were, I had only heard some music off Sister and thought it was cool--where "cool" meant absurd and strange and nonsensical.

Anyway, I don't remember the concert at all only that it was VERY loud and they seemed really bored up there (besides the drummer). I remember thinking concerts weren't very interesting at all, and it was kind of a waste of money when you considered the price of a ticket versus the price of a CD.

I usually leave that bit out when I tell people.
