The Cranberries in Newcastle (Australia) sometime in March of 1995, I believe. Pollyanna was the opening band.
First time I saw PJ was in Sydney, March 1998 with Shudder To Think opening. First time they played "Dead Man", and Jeff's birthday. A good show! I was 16 at the time and my Dad took me.

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.
I had Ozzy tix to see him in Miami at the Orange Bowl ,Randy Rhodes was killed the night before in that freak plane /trailor accident..Feel your pain
My real 1st concert was the Bee Gee's at the Seattle Center Coliseum for my 13th birthday, in 1979. The 1st concert I bought my own tix to was Ozzy on the Diary of a Madman tour also at the Coliseum in 1982...no Randy.

March 1991 Iron Maiden and Anthrax at Mercer Arena in Seattle. Went for Anthrax with one of my best friends, fell in love with Maiden that night.
First PJ was Drop in the Park (could have seen earlier, but never had a ride from the east side.
Great thread!

First proper concerts were in 1996 at 16 when i saw (separately) blur, jamiroquai and the fugees (jay z supported this - random!)
First rock concert was in 1999 which would have been pitchshifter i think
It got so so much better after 2000!
