Default How old were you...

when you attended your first show/concert? (a gig you wanted to see, not some christian pop group your youth minister and parents wrangled you into witnessing)

I was very unfortunate on this front and didn't see a band I wanted to until much, much later in life.

How young is too young? If a show is "all ages", what do you think the appropriate age is?

My 10 year old daughter has been to a show with me and she was, by far, the youngest there. I know this all depends on the venue. The show she accompanied me to, did have a bar, but it was outside the music hall and there was no drunkenness on display.

She loves Vampire Weekend and I am taking her to see them as well (on a school night). Same type of venue.

The announcements of these plans to family and others is sometimes met with a mild disdain. I see nothing wrong with it. I'm sure many of the 'disdainers' are imagining some type of rock arena concert and the fear of her being trampled.

What do you think?
