    Mine was Daryl Hall and John Oates, circa 1984. My Dad got free tickets because it was sponsored by a company he worked for. My brother and I got to meet and have our picture taken with the guys after the show (my first taste of groupieism??) I was 7 years old. :)
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there....

    Nine Inch Nails - Atlanta '95. Fantastic way to bring in my concert experience.

    My first PJ show was September 1, 1998 followed with the Beasties at the same venue the next night. Two greatest concert nights of my life.

    Iron Maiden at the Lakeland Civic Center, 2/16/1985. Powerslave tour. Great f*cking show. Cost $13 IIRC.

    First Pearl Jam show was at the Salem Armory, January of 1992, opening for Nirvana/Chili Peppers: Had never heard of them, played a 20 minute set that blew me away (including a pre-VS version of "Leash"). Bought "Ten" the next day. Still have the tickets somewhere...best show I've been to, hands-down. Nirvana was unreal that night, as were the Peppers.

    First "real" PJ show was May the same year at the Roseland in PDX.
