What is the one concert you hope no one finds out you went to?

I just asked what was your first concert which was fun, but what concert did you go to that you hope no one finds out about? Mine was a Debbie Gibson concert to get a date with a girl. LOL

Sigh, the things we do for the ladies. Mine was not a concert per se, but I did take a girl to the ballet Swan Lake!

Never been to one that would bother me as far as the question goes, I have only gone to two while stationed in Hawaii, Elvis and Faron Young, one before Hawaii was a state, as I recall.

Who cares?!
You got the date right? Score 1 for you!

As for me, I wouldn't say I would keep it a secret, but I did see Alanis Morissette in concert once. Upper level, aisle seat by the railing, and I had to save this meth-head looking, drunk guy who at some point prior, decided to strip down to his red "banana hammock" and run down the aisle next to me at which point he promptly fell over the railing and was stopped from plunging to the unwitting crowd below only because I grabbed him at the last possible moment. He was so bombed that he kept making noises and yelling to get Ananis's attention, the WHOLE TIME while a couple of us had to yank is near-nakedness back over the railing. Guy had no idea what was going on.
Memorable, but yeah...icky.

When I was really young, my mom and sister forced me to go to some boy band concert. I think it was N-Sync or something. Anyway, I still consider Brantley Gilbert's Tour for The Troops show in Pensacola my first concert, while I was in A-School.

Lea Salonga (huge teen pop star at the time, before going to U.S.) and Menudo in Manila 1985 with my soon to be wife. It was absolutely insane, a huge crush of people constantly screaming and crying.
If word of this gets out i'll say somebody hacked my account. :)

In return i took her to Pink Floyd in Miami 1987, of course she loved it...lol

I don't have a concert that I wouldn't tell anyone about. However I did go to a Boston concert in high school. It was in 1997 and they sounded SO bad that I literally turned around and went back home. Shortest concert ever. Not even 5 minutes.

My buddy had tickets and supposedly his date bailed on him. I was trying to pawn the tickets in the parking lot, and after the concert I made my friend take me to a strip club and buy my drinks and lap dances:

Me and a couple of my Caucasian Army friends went to a Lynyrd Skynyd concert in 1988 in Tacoma, Washington.
