Concerts (First, Favorite, Fail, and Future)

[Jackalope]

Hello, all.

I just spent (or maybe wasted) an hour or two of my evening watching YouTube clips of favorite bands from my past. If you're breathing, you probably love music. I'd love to see the community's responses about their concert experiences that fit the title of this thread. I'll strum the first chord...

• First concert: Metallica (opened for Ozzy Osbourne in 1986)
  
• Favorite concert: The Struts (best rock n' roll band you've never heard of)
  
• Fail: Red Hot Chili Peppers (I left the venue before they took the stage in 1987 because I hadn't really heard of them)
  
• Future: John Mellencamp (seems doubtful considering his age, but I can hope)

I have seen The Struts, in Portland around 2019.

First: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, 1981
Favorite: Pink Floyd sans Roger, around 1985
Fail: I missed an opportunity to see Stevie Ray Vaughan before I knew who he was.
Future: Jeff Lynne's ELO in August, Heart and Cheap Trick in September, Iron Maiden in October

Mostly I follow local bands, though.
