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.
