My first performance was somewhat similar to mc9mm's. i was 14. We performed in the gym of one high school. It was a disco show, but we had two friends who studied there and they asked if we could play. It was really funny because our drummer was playing on a solo drum and a cymbal. The two guitars and the bass were plugged in one big amp. We played Satifaction and Break On Through but we knew only the main riffs and the other parts we completely made up. Also our singer, who during rehearsals was the "big rock star and sex symbol" was totally stage frighted and he was hiding behind the rhythm guitarist actually -- he said that the cable of the microphone was not long enough but we all knew what the truth was. I have all this recorded on tape and every time I hear it I laugh a lot.
