I’m a bit young, so I haven’t had the joy of going to see Tesla or Strutter, although I’m extremely jealous. I did go to an NKOTB concert when I was about 9, though, and I was so excited.

Although it should be mentioned that my very 1st concert ever was Milli Vanilli. Yep. I danced. And it wasn’t a problem.

Harry Belafonte? I went with my mom.

Actually, I can’t say I’m embarassed by anything I’ve seen, but I can say I’ve been pretty disappointed a few times.

Oh, and speaking of country, did you know Me First & the Gimme Gimmes just launched their album of punk country music covers?

I saw Howard Jones too! But my mother, who confuses names rather easily, thinks I went to see a Howard Johnson’s concert. When I tried to correct her, she asked me if Howard Johnson was related to Michael Johnson (aka Michael Jackson).

I think I have everyone beat. When I was 12 or so, a friend took me to see LOVERBOY in concert. Ick.

In my defense, I was 12 and didn’t know any better.

I’ll go stick my head in the sand now.

Okay y’all. Here’s embarrassing for you: My friend and I went to see Air Supply at an outdoor venue. It rained. We stayed.

Also in the list (although unlike Air Supply, I’m not necessarily embarrassed about them — they’re just time capsules):

- Journey, with as-of-yet-unheard-of Bryan Adams opening.

- Yes, the 90125 tour. Although they played Roundabout, which was way cool.

- Cyndi Lauper, with the as-of-yet-unheard-of Bangles opening.

- Chicago, a couple of times, in the era spanning cool old “Saturday
in the Park” Chicago” and crappy new “You’re My Inspiration” Chicago.

- INXS – saw them when I was living in a small town in France, at a TINY venue. We were the only ones there who spoke English so the band spoke to us throughout the show (like in between songs) then invited us backstage afterwards.

And stafanierj? I would have KILLED to see Howard Jones when I was in high school. I used a quote from him on my yearbook page!

Geek out, y’all.

I think the absolute worst were Yngwie Malsteen, Queensryche and Night Ranger.

Howard Jones. And I was a SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL–I don’t even have the “I was an infant” excuse all your other commenters have. Oy.

What’s sadder is all the bands I *wanted* to go see but never, thank heaven, did–Milli Vanilli, MC Hammer (I am physically cringing as I write this) and yes, Vanilla Ice.

Nah. Don’t do embarrassing concerts, there’s not enough time.. I’ve been to an awful lot, though – and I’ve bruised a rib at least once, too My favourite band’s Norwegian and you wouldn’t have heard of them (no, it’s not a-ha..). I freely admit to having seen Robbie Williams live this summer, I don’t consider it embarrassing even though he was part of a boyband ages ago… (You may see what I though here: http://xrisimopoio.blogspot.com/2006/07/england-lost-robbie-won.html) And this Friday there’s another concert! With a Swedish band you wouldn’t know, but still, time off with hubby
