Chair Boogie

I’m dating myself really badly, but I went to see WAR with the Tower of Power Horns at age 13 for my very first ever concert. I went with my mother and her boyfriend. It was cool. Until someone tried to pass me a party joint. I thought my mom was going to freak right smooth out.

This was also the very first CD I ever played on my brand new CD player (it was a few years ago).

Thanks for the memories!

1st CD: John Cougar: American Fool

1st concert:

…never been to one

. But I did see Kris Kristopherson sing the national anthem last night at the Cowboys game. No one offered me any joints.

First Record (dating myself!): James Bond’s Theme tunes…. lol I was 8, James Bond was King!

First concert: Guns N Roses, Faster Pussycat and the Quireboys. Got scalped tickets outside the gig 3rd row from the front, bootleged it with a tape recorder, blew me away, never looked back and went to concerts like they were going out of fashion.

Last Concert : Korn, Disturbed and some other dudes, pretty good, but felt my age and lack of long hair.

Best concert : Iron Maiden, Kiss, Megadeth, Anthrax, David Lee Roth and some others, Donington, UK 1988.

I plead the 5th on the whole drug thing 😯

Probably way too much info but what the heck.

I’d never even heard of Faster Pussycat that first time (GNR either, it was before they broke it big!) They played a killer set, including Babylon when they all changed instruments… I bought the album on the way to work the next day (and apitite for distruction the following pay day, and the Quireboy’s single for that matter). after that I was hooked on concerts, I saw so many bands I lost count, only ever saw Pussycat once more but you always remember your first!
