"Ha ha, N*Sync! It was a show during their Bye Bye Bye Tour."

"Aw, man, ha ha, mine was Lil Wayne."

(Left) "Mine was such a good one! Portugal the Man!" (Right) "Ahhh that's a good question… Reliant K a long, long time ago. Definitely was into that scene when I was younger."

"Man, it was Santana way back when he was touring with Earth, Wind & Fire. It was an excellent first concert."

"My first concert? Kanye West."

(Left) "Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals. Not bad for a first one." (Right) "My first was a Wailers concert. Minus Bob Marley, of course."

"Shania Twain, baby!"
