Who was the first band you saw live? - shey.net reblog

About

shey.net has been around since 1998, making it one of the longest-running blogs on the web.*

I'm Tim. I design and produce things. Most recently, I co-founded Next New Networks, one of the leading companies making entertainment programming for the web.

Some of the popular web series and networks I've had a hand in producing, creating, or growing include ThreadBanger, Indy Mogul, Barely Political (and the Obama Girl videos), Channel Frederator, Fast Lane Daily, Auto-Tune the News, The Key of Awesome, $99 Music Videos, Epic Fu, TPMtv, Afterworld, and Rocketboom.

Got a question? Ask me anything.

Who was the first band you saw live?

(This is a question going around Tumblr.)

My first concert: The Cure headlined, but The Pixies and Love and Rockets opened, so I guess the Pixies were the first band I ever saw live. I was fourteen: August 20, 1989, Giants Stadium. The bands had just released the albums Disintegration, Doolittle, and Love and Rockets. Do I win this thread, or what?

[not my actual ticket]
