My first concert was the Flaming Lips/Stone Temple Pilots/Butthole Surfers in the summer of '93. It was a fucking awesome show.

Geez. I went to Allman Brothers shows as a kid with my folks but the first show I bought tickets to was either ACDC on the Razor's Edge Tour, SoundGarden (BadMotorFinger) and Guns n Roses (Use your Illusions), or Prong and OZZY(No More Tears). All of these took place pretty close together.
I remember seeing lots of titties when GnR played.
Around the same time I started getting into some club shows (I was 13 or so) and I lived in Tampa so I was seeing Morbid Angel and Obituary, etc. Fucking Brutal. I saw GWAR at a club and that was sweet too. Lots of shows when I was 13 and 14, all kind of a jumble.

My first concert was in 03 maybe? I saw Minus the Bear and These Arms are Snakes. It was a great show.

I saw this tour in Seattle except it was Stone Temple Pilots/Butthole Surfers/fIREHOSE. Fun show although IMO the Buttholes were already past their best work, the highlight of the night was Gibby introducing the next band. "Stick around, Stone Pimple Toilets are up next."

My first concert was goth-rock band The Mission U.K./Soundgarden in '88. Soundgarden blew my mind as a kid, and living in Seattle it opened my mind to the local music scene at the time, after this show I started going to shows at least 3-4 times a month.

My first concert was 311 with G Love and Special Sauce. Be jealous.

First big boy concert for a band I really wanted to see was The Faint in high school (like '06). It was fucking bad ass.

You, sir, are a legend. That must have been amazing.

It's hard to remember, but I'm pretty sure my first concert was green day in sf

[Jeff-7]

You guys had some cool first concerts, this should probably go in the confessions thread but mine was Clay Walker when I was 11.

I went to a bunch with my dad when I was little. The only one I remember was Lynyrd Skynyrd and Little Feet. My first concert without parents or anything was Steel Train / Kevin Devine / Ace Ender. I only kinda liked Kevin Devine, but whatever. I didn't see any kick ass shows until 2008.

altho i do remember some dude screaming "I HAVE SYPHALIS!!!!!" at the top of his lungs to get ppl to move out of his way.
we saw him up at the front so i guess it worked

Awesome / shitty

Oh my god that must have been so cool. Did Erin play drums for both sets?

[Derelict78]

Pink Floyd in 94 at the Pontiac silver dome, first date on the tour.

[fuzzywolf]

First concert I went to was ZZ Top and Aerosmith at (what is now) First Niagara Pavilion. Neither were/are my cup o' tea, but it was a pretty fun time!

[bongoben]

My first "big boy concert" was Hootie and the Blowfish at Summerfest in Milwaukee 1995. That led to the next 8ish years of non-stop concerting.

[tuffteef]

radiohead

[greyscales]

The first real one I went to was BB KIng & Buddy Guy. As a beginning guitarist it was pretty awesome.

[Haki]

Korn

[IEatCats]

Hoobastank.

At least it wasn't a boy band or something from when I was really young.
