The first, was:

No Doubt
Goo Goo Dolls
Bush

I was a freshman in high school, and really into the grunge stuff, so Bush was awesome.  Goo Goo Dolls were still kind of a "hard rock band", and  "I'm just a Girl" had just started blowing up, and No Doubt opened.

Pretty fun for a 14 year old.

And it's kind of funny how the popularity of the bands flipped...Bush, who was the headliner, is completely irrelevant, and there aren't many stars bigger than Gwen Stefani (Holla Back Girl (:love:)).

God I so kick the crap outta you young bucks.   First concert: circa 74'

Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO by a more common name) - lead band for the show
Styx - just released Styx II, the album with "Lady" that made their announcement on the scene
Bob Seger - a guy none of us had ever heard of, we all left with a new favorite artist (seen him 3 times over the years).

I was in middle school and saw blonde redhead, foo fighters and red hot chili peppers at bonner springs.  very solid first show ever, had me hooked on live shows until i realized that was just a uncharacteristically awesome line up.

Soul Coughing was cool, it was at an outdoor festival.

Primus was fun, I was &@#%ed up and jumped the fence over to the seated section and this crazy bitch in a skirt suit and heels chased me out and hit me in the face.  I was too &@#%ed up to defend myself or retaliate. :frown:

yeah-FP and team cancer.
