Luckily, my neighbor happily agreed to go with me. The funny thing, his 17 year old son LOVES Tool, and was extremely jealous that his dad and I got to see the show.

Excellent. I think the next one will be more hard-edged. My son's something of a metal-head. We'll see what comes down the road. I think the venue is key, which is why I'm trying to focus on smaller theaters. I also like momanon's idea, to do something like TSO that's more family-oriented, yet has all the perks of a full-fledged rock show. So, good posts all around. Smashing Pumpkins? Excellent.

Have fun. Last fall I took my daughter to her first rock concert. We saw Smashing Pumpkins at the Fillmore in SF. The pot smokers were a donwside, but otherwise she loved it! You have great taste in music, btw. Radiohead is one of my faves. Jorge – that sounds great! Have fun. Last fall I took my daughter to her first rock concert.

Trust me, at 12 he didn't notice that the acoustics were not the best. There are two really good things about the TSO show, so next Christmas you should really check it out. First, it's a wholesome family thing - no rude lyrics, lots of feel-good uplifting moments. Second, it's like any big concert you attended in the 70's all rolled into one - pyrotechnics, fog, lasers, lots of heavy metal (I know what you're thinking - heavy metal Christmas music? but it works). Check them out on the web if you've never heard of them. It's now a family tradition - we go every year and bring my nieces & nephews now. I'm the coolest aunt around, apparently.

Have a great time and make memories! The neurotic in me says bring ear plugs - I know from classes I've taken in audiology that some of the volume can cause permanent hearing loss (he has lots of years he'll need his ears) - so those little ear plugs you can mold in your hands might come in handy!

Or deb could just be attempting to be funny -- or is really creepy. Not sure. But I'll go with the first guess.
