[quote=Anonymous]I think I was 12 or 13 when I went to my first rock concert (with a friend, I think, no parents -- we were dropped off.  In a pre-cell phone world!).  Reserved seats, Beach Boys when they were already super old so it was a super tame crowd!  (Sort of like going to an Elton John concert nowadays, I think).   I also remember seeing Billy Joel (again, a drop off with a couple friends) when I had just turned 14.  Again, a tame-ish concert, and a performer that my parents had heard of and weren't really concerned that it was going to be like a rave or something (not that they or I knew what a rave was).

My almost-10 year old has not yet been to a concert (other than the kids concerts at Jammin Java and the Discovery Theater, etc.), but I can imagine taking her in the next couple years if there was a band we liked.  I wish I was that mom that knew the cool bands -- I have a coworker like that who is very into the local DC music scene and always took her kids to the 9:30 club.  I'm just not that mom--in a parallel universe, maybe I am.[/quote]
