    For me it was Guns n Roses at the Glasshouse in Melbourne December 1988 for their Appetite for destruction tour.
    I was 13 and it was the loudest thing I had ever heard. My ears rang for 3 days.

    So glad I saw them at their best.

    My first concert was SUPPOSED to be Ozzy Osbourne, but he bit that darn bat the night before.... so my first concert was REO Speedwagon and Survivor in 1984. I was 7 years old.

    Garth Brooks 1992 breaking guitars really not a bad show

    I'm late to this thread, and I know I'm going to be in a minority here, but I saw Garth's solo show in Vegas a couple of years back and left feeling like it was the best show I'd ever seen. An amazing performer.

    Of course, I'm a Texan, so there you go.

    My first show was Guns N Roses is 1993!!! I went with my mom.

    I will hold the candle until it burns up my arm. I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired. I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.

    Beastie Boys "Hello Nasty" tour at the Worcester Centrum Center. It was the summer before the 5th grade for me and my dad was working security there at the time. He took the night off to take me and we had front row! (excluding the pit). It was a circular stage that rotated. My love for music began with that concert. MCA was always my favorite and it hit me harder than I ever imagined it would when he passed.
