Don't know if this topic has been done before, but I remember my first ever concert at a real venue. It was way back in either 1982 or 83, I went with my brother to see the rock group "Saga". My brother was a huge fan and dragged me along to Maple Leaf Gardens to watch it. First time I ever smelled marijuana.

Julian Lennon. I think I was ten or something. When he was singing Much Too Late For Goodbyes. I think it was at the Beacon. Or maybe the Hammerstein Ballroom.

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
Pink Floyd, the tour with the giant pig ballon.
First Concert, man i really cant remember what was first. I was dragged to a Rap Concert with coolio and some other artists back in 96.
But the first concert i went to on my own was Vans Warped Tour 98 or 99. First mosh pit experiance and all that jazz. Lots of fun.
My first out of town concert was to San Diego in Nov of 01 to see Weezer, Tenacious D, and Jimmy Eat World. Best concert i've ever gone too.
My mom says my first concert was Foreigner, Journey, and Loverboy in San Jose back when i was 2 (do i remember this? hell no)

FUCK YOU OMG! I was born in the wrong generation.
I went to a couple of crappy concerts when I was a pre-teen, but I wouldn't count them since I went with my mom. Yeah. Then a long dry spell when I had zero interest in concerts and almost that little in music period; I was completely burnt out on commercial radio/MTV but didn't think anything outside of that could interest me. That all changed my last year in high school when a friend got me hooked on Pink Floyd, and many similar and not so similar bands followed. My second year in college, I finally went to a real concert in Atlanta. It was Phil Lesh & Friends, Ratdog, and Dickey Betts. Of course, Bob Weir played with Phil's band almost the whole show, so it was almost exactly the same lineup currently touring as The Dead. I was more interested in Betts, but we got there late and missed half his set. :-( He still came back out with Phil and Bob to play "Blue Sky", which made my day. All in all, it was a fun time and a great value ($30 tickets for 8 hours or so of music). I wasn't blown away by The Dead and still am not, but it led to many other fantastic concerts that were much better.

Ha, ha. I saw that tour (not my first). I remember Dave rode this gigantic inflated microphone. He looked quite comfortable straddling it.
First concert ever was Eddie Murphy Raw. First music was Journey with The Outfield

My dad took me to my first concert at age 12. I saw the Dead Milkmen and Mojo Nixon. This was back when Mojo had semi-notoriety for his awesome song, "Don Henley must die". In the middle of the set, Mojo's piano player started playing "The End of the Innocence", and Mojo got IRATE. Then he forced his piano player to mock-sodomize an atomically correct inflatable sheep that just happened to be on stage.
True story!

Weird Al on his Running With Scissors Tour. Very funny, but way too little audience interaction.

Oh yeah, I forgot about seeing Raffi when I was in kindergarten. He played that one about the watermelon patch, which was my favorite, and then the encore was something sappy that nobody liked. That's all I remember.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I was 16 and I went to see Sevendust on Valentine's Day with a friend who eventually became my gf. It was a good concert, no regrets.

My first was a huge rock festival in Moscow where many bands performed, I was young I didn't know most of them at the time (my sister took me with her), but I clearly remember The Scorpions and Bon Jovi performing, I wish I can remember the name of the whole thing so I can dig up what other bands were there. I'm sure I can google it but don't feel like doing that right now, must hit the sack.
