Coheed and Cambria - Always and Never

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU I'm jelly.

Was it one of the GA1 Neverender gigs?

Oh wait I'm sorry. I misunderstood. It was on the tour they did last year where they played Second Stage in its entirety. I got confused because that tour also had the "Neverender" moniker attached to it.

God I had to look this up....now I do feel old....It was INXS at the Tennis Centre in Melbourne on Nov 2, 1988 and they opened with Kick

I wish I could say it was David Lee Roth with Steve Vai the same year at the same venue...

they were touring with Kiss, but we went for QR. I will admit, though, I remember nothing from the night due to our mental state

Motley Crue-Shout at the Devil

That opened the second show I ever went to, but when I saw them they were all evil and badass and not a bunch of pussies.

My first concert was KISS. I believe they opened with King of the Night Time World, which was just a huge kick in the balls of an otherwise kickass setlist. Just to add further insult, the show just before ours got Creatures of the fucking Night as the opener instead. Bastards.

Can't remember my very first concert, let alone the first song they played.

TioJorge · « **Reply #48 on:** April 17, 2012, 08:06:19 AM »

First concert: Joe Satriani with Eric Johnson.

First Song: Cliffs of Dover.

Amazing concert with even more amazing and near perfect playing by the godly gods; it was very enjoyable, I didn't expect either of them to have so much stage presence. The light show was pretty spectacular as well.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #49 on:** April 17, 2012, 08:06:29 AM »

First concert was Danger Danger - Slaughter - Kiss. July 11, 1990, Roanoke Civic Center. Since DD opened, it was most likely "Boys Will Be Boys".

Oh right on, I'm a little less jelly then

So I guess they opened the acoustic set with Always & Never then? That's still awesome.

Yeah I saw Slaughter with Winger and Kiss in the Hot In The Shade tour.

Blackened by Metallica.

The real answer is Cigarette by The Clarks, but since only fellow Yinzers would know that, I'll say it was Metallica covering "So What".

King, at Great Woods, it was a band called Little Ceaser that opened for Kiss/Slaughter. We didn't even go in until Slaughter finished!

1994, Pink Floyd opened with Astronomy Domine.

I had been in some concerts earlier (I don't remember the set openers), but the first big concert was Alice Cooper. He opened with Brutal Planet.

I saw this show in Maine at some baseball field. it was cool. Mark Slaughter run through the first section on the floor, (the baseball outfield) and slaped my hand running by. The dude was smaller than Dio but also had the pipes.

My first concert was Pop Sux with Trust Company, Disturbed and Korn, so whatever song TC opened with.

That wasn't my first concert but I went to that tour when they stopped by in Tampa. My god Trust Company was terrible, that's my biggest memory.

Disturbed shined that show.

theseoafs · « **Reply #63 on:** April 18, 2012, 06:57:49 PM »

Hmm... I think Different World - Iron Maiden.

EDIT: Well, technically, it would be the first song by the band that opened for Maiden that show. That would be Bullet for My Valentine. But... gross. Let's stick with Maiden.

I was at the same show

. I went for Disturbed, who I agree were the best them.

First concert: Metallica 1992 but it got rained out and they didn't play. Big riot afterwards.
1996: REO Speedwagon. My GF at the time made me go lol!

ytserush · « **Reply #66 on:** April 22, 2012, 02:47:32 PM »

Discounting songs played by my friend's band, my guess would be Pseudo Silk Kimono by Marillion on March 31, 1986, which oddly enough is the first song on my favorite album all-time.
