  chris - tell you what, i\'ll transfer my analogs this weekend, since i\'ve been meaning to do so for a while now.. note that this was before i became a \'taper\' - actually, it was before i even knew that people recorded concerts.. i used to bring my handheld panasonic analog tape recorder to shows, with a couple blank XLII\'s, and record away..
  
  i\'m listening to this show as i type this, and it\'s really not bad, though it\'s lacking bass.. i may do some eq-ing in sound forge, but it\'s really pretty clear - pretty much no crowd noise...
  
  IIRC, i recorded this show from the 5th row up on the left (100 level), 2nd or 3rd section from the stage.

• Well if this thread is now what was your 1st show. I guess I\'ll throw in mine.
  
   Not sure exact date but it was summer of \'81 maybe a couple weeks past my 11th birthday.  America @ the Orange County Fair. This was the 1st concert I went to on my own. I took a bus went to the fair met my friend Mike(who\'s mom gave him a ride) and then we went and saw America. Great concert. They played Tin Man,Horse...., Sister Golden Hair all the hits.

  Yep, I think she was there too. I\'m pretty sure we drove up in that nice blue Stavenmobile you had.

• Faith No More opening for Billy Idol at Lake Compounce. September 1990. Went for the purpose of seeing Faith No More. Left halfway through Idol. Couldn\'t stomach "Moni Moni." Not surprisingly, my last show for both.

• First real concert for me was Phish 12/30/96 at Fleetcenter.  Seen a couple of shows since then.

• I don\'t think it was my first, but the earliest concert I remember going to was Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Oakdale in summer of 2000 (after my freshman year of high school).
  
  I\'m glad I went as a fan of "cheap concerts featuring bands I kind of like being held only five minutes from my house", but I wouldn\'t pay to see Skynyrd again unless they were on a bill with other good bands.

• Oddly Seth, 12-30-96 was my second Phish show, our tickets were behind the stage, and we sat there like idiots for the entire concert.
  
  When I saw Phish at the Fleet just a few months ago, again, the seats were behind the stage, but this time we walked down to the lower level, completely unsearched and unscathed by security, and watched a heckuva show with stellar visibilty.
  
  Oh, how much I\'ve grown.
