First concert experience? For me that would be when I saw They Might Be Giants in NYC not long after "The Else" came out. It was pretty sweet. What was really memorable though was that afterwards a large group of people from the concert got onto the same subway car and we all spontaneously broke out into "Birdhouse In Your Soul". That was pretty fun.

My first big concert experience was seeing Muse with a friend in Philly during their Resistance tour. Since my first concert was TMBG I wasn't quite expecting the sheer volume of noise coupled with the light show. Talk about sense overload. I also remember headbanging the whole way through the second half of "Knights of Cydonia." Fucking awesome.

Boss AC. A(now ridiculous) portuguese rapper. I hate myself. But I was 11. So yeah, I was stupid.

I think my first concert was Camp Kill Yourself (cKy).
But then it changed more to ZZ Top, Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc.

But I still do not regret cKy.

I believe mine was the final top of the pops or one of the ones leading to it, but back then I didn't really appreciate music as much as I did now.
Attending this years Leeds fest was one event I shal not regret attending :)

ok..gonna date myself badly, but it is what it is.

My aunt took me to my first concert when I was 10. It was Huey Lewis & The News.

Others that I saw in my teens were:
Samantha Fox
Lee Aaron
Meatloaf
Bryan Adams
Def Leppard
Ugly Kid Joe
Sass Jordan
Bon Jovi
Brook and Dunn
Pam Tillis
Tanya Tucker
Rankin Family
April Wine

Not counting numerous local bands, symphonies, vocal performances etc by ametuers.
I can't believe somebody else here knows who Lee Aaron is. Personally, I only have the one album from her, and it's because Rik Emmett from Triumph is on it. I think I listened to it once.

Remove the country artists from your list and you have a small section of what a year of visits to the Cow Palace looked like for me. Now add every relevant metal, progressive, and hair band, add a touch of U2 and British pop, and you can complete the picture of my concert experiences from the eighties and early nineties.

Say it ain't so dude... 'Hands On', 'Watcha do To My Body', 'Only Human', 'Some Girls Do' and 'Metal Queen'...... classics ;)Still listen to Powerline (her greatest hits disc). A definite Canadian classic.

My favorite gig HAD to be Rise Against. Went crowdsurfing to their closing song, Ready To Fall. So many bruises, such an amazing night.
I must resist smacking you out of jealousy.

Mine was AC/DC, and I watched a junkie get pummeled by security....ah how I love Gillette Stadium.

My First concert was a 13 hour long festival headlined by The Butterfly Effect and supported by many local bands.
What I like to call my first experience (it was actually my second) was seeing my favourite band of all time... The Pixies live. Ah the memories.

I saw Blue Man Group in Duluth, Minnesota. It was awesome. Even though I was in the nosebleed seats, I had an adrenaline high going until I got home; a good two hours after the concert ended. But then, it was Blue Man Group. Plus, Mike Realm opened, which was kinda fun.
