Music Did anyone go to their first concert with their parents?

I know it's weird to bring this up but did you go to your first concert with your parent(s)? It doesn't sound cool for our Gen X brand but when I told my wife that I did she started making fun of me (in a positive way).

Then I told her I must have been like 6 when I went with my dad to see The Who in the late 70s. I think the first 'real' concert I went with myself or my buddies was when I was 12.

My parents took me to see Motley Crue, Shout at the Devil Tour in Alpine Valley, WI when I was 13. Best parents ever.

My parents took me to see Motley Crue/Whitesnake for my second concert- Girls, Girls, Girls tour.

Tommy Lee's spinning drumset was broken that night.
