Only been to two of them, the first were string quartets by somebody (did Shostakovich write any), the second was some Bach and Handel. The latter was the superior concert.
 
First concert I would sadly have to say Kenny G lol...with my parents when i was a weee lad.

First real concert was Dave Matthews Band
 
ZZ Top in the Summit, Houston, Texas.


They had a Brahma and a Buffalo on the stage on left and right of them.

Had to stop the concert for a couple of minutes and tell everyone to be quiet cause the animals started banging around in the cages.

I was sitting on the floor at the bottom and narrowly averted getting thrown up on by some girl standing to my left.

I think I got hearing damage from that concert.

I'll admit it...when I was really young my mother took me to see John Denver.

HOWEVER, the first concert that I officially went to without any parental supervision was Ronny James Dio, the Last In Line tour at the Forum in L.A. on November 23, 1984.
I saw that tour up here in Portland... It was awesome! Even though I had a pretty bad fever, and it was all I could do to not throw up during the show. But I wouldn't have missed that little guy for the world! 😉

But my first concert was Triumph, a couple of years prior to that Dio show.
 
Metallica -- 1989 -- Justice Tour

Sat 20' from one of the big racks of speakers. Ears rang for a full seven days. Neck was sore for about that long too. Man, what a time that was....
