Bob Seger at Cobo Hall in Detroit the night they recorded his Live Bullet Album. My aunt took me and we were standing up at our seats when the lights went down then when the spot light came up it was on us and then the blaring saxaphone intro for Turn The Page started and the Sax player was standing in our seats right behind us.

My first concert was AC/DC and Queensryche at Alpine Valley in East Troy, WI. It was around 1986 or so. I was a teenager, and my stepdad drove us. While he was waiting in the parking lot to pick us up, he heard the canons and giant bell and was wondering what the he** was going on in there....
That is a good start!
I don't remember much about my first concert.
It was a local rock band in the mid seventies.
Same here LOL I have no clue who I saw in concert first went to a lot of concerts, but . . . remember the last concert I went to before I moved here, but my first which was in the mid '70's - nope
I remember it well. I had just turned 16 and went down to the "big city" Johnstown. The concert was at The Point stadium. It was Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet tour with Skid Row opening.
Pop Disaster Tour in '02 (Jimmy Eat World, Green Day, and Blink 182). Green Day was the reason I went and they were amazing. They made the show worth it. Not much to remember about Jimmy Eat World and Blink 182 was awful (no surprise there). I have to say though that the best concert was the second one, Metallica in '03. One of the greatest live bands ever.
My addiction began with my first concert ever on February 12th, 1980 at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, MO. I just started learning drums and my 17-year old cousin took my 9-year-old keyster to see a band "with a really cool drummer."
I was altered forever. I have seen these gentlemen nearly 20 times since then, and they just get better with age.
Fun Fact: Max Webster was the opening band that night, another Canadian act who did a joint song with Rush known as "Battle Scar."
It turns out that this was a very heavily bootlegged show (they played three straight nights). Here is a snippet of that magical evening...I will never forget.
Or it might not, if you guys have a sense of humor. We had this subject a LONG time back, was one of my first 5 posts.
I joined the Boy Scouts in 1960 (I'm ancient). Boy Scout Jamboree 1961, held 10 miles north of Colorado Springs, back when there actually was open space there at one time. And the first concert I went to was at that Jamboree and it WASSSS----(drum roll please)-The Lennon Sisters!!
Hey, when you're 11 and there's no British Invasion, Elvis is in the military, Buddy Holly, Johnny Horton, Richie Valens, and many more stars were getting killed in plane crashes, I gotta listen to something!
First concert, yeppirs!. I did improve a tad after that though.

Tried to sneak in some beers but they got me and I had to dump em. Later on, I got a bunch of wine from someone who managed to sneak it in.
I saw this tour too! I paid big money at the time ($150!) for 3rd row, center-stage tickets. At that time, concert-goers were a lot rowdier when Skid Row was playing than Bon Jovi. Jon Bon Jovi actually threw a rose at me because once they hit the stage I was one of the few dancing and having a good time. I still have that rose! (Ahhh, the memories...)
The Doors in their first concert at Madison Square Garden, Jan 24, 1969. I was so amazed by the noise, the lights, the music, Jim Morrison(!), that I kept forgetting to clap.
