now THAT’S more like it!

Awww, I remember my first concerts with both my sons. Good times!!

Yeah, I remember the first concerts I took my son to, Metallica, Nirvana, Lollapaloozas 1, 2 and 3. Somehow back then I fit in fine. I still manage to take in a few concerts. It’s fun with local bands because most of the folks who are my age that show up are “band parents” and they walk around wide-eyed at how the rest of the crowd looks.

Stone Temple Pilots with the oldest and Daughtry with the youngest. I still go occassionally as well. Just not as many great bands I’m willing to shell out the outrageous ticket prices for.

Possibly both, Dr. T.

This should work now.

It’s not a concert, it’s a screamfest. Good luck there, Adam.

it all depends on the performers and the venue if you feel like you fit in with your kids early concerts. the first one i went to i felt ancient but the kids in the crowd gave an old man props for being down with the music

i was invited to a performance by a band that one of my co-workers drums for. a thrash metal band playing in a local bar. told him i’d stick out like a sore thumb if i went, but he told me straight up that it would be cool. had i not made other plans i might have gone - though, these days, i’m not sure how much i’d have enjoyed it.
