I love sharing music with my kiddos. My oldest went to Amon Amarth in utero, lol. Soon my youngest and I will see our first rap show together (he’s 14 and I am…older).

Funny thing about masculine energy, I have never felt unsafe at a metal show, despite that they are generally 90% sausage. I keep out of the pit, of course, just due to the higher physicality.

I would have been very happy in the playpen. And probably stayed there! I don't remember my first concert but I do remember several concerts from long ago - Adam Ant, INXS, The Police, Jimmy Buffet, Eurythmics, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Sheryl Crow, Lyle Lovett. Thank you for sharing this adventure!

Oooh that’s an excellent list! I saw many of those artists. Never saw the Police, regrettably.
