Huey Lewis & the News- Red Rocks, Colorado. '85 or '86 I think. My dad took me.
"I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."
The Australian Pink Floyd Show... who by the way, do it better than Roger Waters.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
Bush (Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase)
Foo Fighters (Only their self titled was out)
Echo & The Bunnymen
Blur
Soul Coughing
Luscious Jackson (from what I remember, they got booed off stage!)

Interesting show, Cheap Trick really played poorly, and they came back about a year later and sincerely apologized for the shitty performance that night.
I've seen Aerosmith twice, including the first time and both times I've seen them I've noticed that they turn their shit up WAYYY too loud. It's almost annoying how much unpleasant feedback, squealing and screaching they have...also though, it could've been the venue, at the time it was The Delta Center in Salt Lake City, but the second time I saw Aerosmith, KISS was on the tour too and they fucking tore it up so, I'm sorry Aerosmith, I love you guys to this day...but from my experiences, you suck live lol.

Audioslave, back in '03. Pretty good show, but I couldn't hear Cornell for shit over the crowd.
Did that happen to be @ Lollapalooza? I saw that tour when they came here and it was fucking awesome.

With 'rents... Barry Manilow in like fall of '79 @ Merriweather Post pavillion in Baltimore area.(Saw Johnny Cash @ Dollywood with grandparents in spring of '80)
1st without 'rents... GNR, Metalica, and Faith No More summer '91 @ RFK stadium.
Faith No More was great, Metalica was INCREDIBLE, and GNR took an hour and a half to come out after Metalica... but, weren't bad.

I was there and Metallica was totally, totally awesome. They came out to steal the show and all of DC in front of what 50,000 headbanging mop heads. What an awesome scene that was.
Then GNR came out finally and by then most of the enthusiasm was gone at least for me and the best thing they did was NOT their songs. Axel what a pretentious buffoon he can be. Metallica rocked that night/morning we didn't get home till 4in the morning. For some reason I don't recall FNM at all must have been the beers.

My very first concert?
I was 9.
Unfortunately, Jimi Hendrix was no longer the opener in Seattle. He had dropped from the tour over a month previous. It was the summer of love & I went with my dad

oh yeah! back then I'd never heard of them or NIN. I've no memory of the support acts playing, was taken by my aunt and our seats were as far from the stage as you could get. Was still awed by the whole spectacle though, previously I'd only been to Brisbane Road to see the O's.
wow, you're telling me you can't recall Seb Bach's rant against Wembley council? It was fabbo In fact....here it is

No reason for shame here. I saw Hanson five times with my then-teenage daughter. My husband, never big on concerts, also brought her to see them once, so Hanson was his first concert and he was in his 30's at the time. I am happy to say he has since accompanied me to see PJ, Neil Young and Eddie Solo among others.
okay- *phew* (wipes sweat off forehead)
it was errrr.... no doubt in 96... somewhere in PA...
my second though was A Day in the Garden at none other than Yasgur Farms-Bethel NY
