The first of any significance I can remember is AC/DC at Bendigo Town Hall, Australia , January 1976, and having loved it and rocked it up big style, followed this in England with more AC/DC at Sheffield Top Rank and Bradford St Georges Hall during June 1976.
Had the pleasure of chatting to the 'late' Bon Scott at Sheffield, whilst the warm up act were on I wandered off for a drink and he was standing on his own by the steps having a glass of wine and weighing things up. Nice friendly man who was happy to talk.
Spoke to Bon again on the same steps drinking more wine almost 2 years later May '78 and he remembered me and was still as friendly. Couldn't believe it when he died in early 1980.
Always remember them as a great rocking 'pub' band who just went out there and did their own thing. Although they now fill big venues and have special effects and are famous they still play as a tight 'pub' band in their own style and that's why I still like 'em.
For those about to rock - we salute you !

My first I will never forget. It was the annual bday party for a popular radio station called KSHE (they did them ever year). The channel was 94.7 so the concert was only 95 cents. JOurney, RUSH, David Essex and grinderswitch. I was 14. Many since then including alot mentioned in this thread. Good thread COED.

EMF I was 13 and felt it was the best night of my life. Had a huge crush on James (vocals) and also Zac (bass) - I'm such a tart

Came home hoarse and with a bruised pelvis as I was crushed against the barriers at the front of the stage, eventually had to get pulled out of the crowd, subsequently fainted and spent the rest of the night with St. John's ambulance....but it was super

Still devastated Zac died so young

[Rasa]

ed the head im jealous Zeppelin is my all time favorite band, my pops saw them 4 times! My first concert was the Beach Boys before Carl Wilson died, I was 5 years old.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stoneage......Slane Castle 2003.

The first gig and although i've been too a lot of gigs since, this still remains the best i've been too. RHCP even released the DVD of it which i love watching to remind me of that day.

sounds like a fantastic lineup and a great intro to concert going

Most crazy moment at a concert was WOODSTOCK 1999 i was in front of 600 000 ppl 2 rows of ppl infront of me Offspring was was playing ,i knew that KORN was playing next « witch i wanted to be close too. well after Offspring came off stage took like 45 min b4 thing started moving to get ready for KORN ( at that point i was looking for air ) so layed my hand so the securety would take me out of there was treated wit Water and Hossed down... started running to get back in there and made it just in time For KORN (seing flashes has im saying this) the song BLIND starts and i turn around « HOLY FUK big WAVE of ppl JUMPING MOVING (this aint real i cant be here HOLY F..! i am!!!)
Then PAff this thing falls on me (some young woman not taller then 4'5 feet) « she looked dead so i pick her up and walk all the way back tru 600 000 ppl to the medic tent... that weekend i saw every thing you can imagine ... « but still was fun to be part of history

very cool

V-jealous reading all these as I haven't seen many live acts.

1st was Blondie & INXS in 2001ish, the ex was a big Blondie fan.

Since then have only seen Lauren Hill and Corinne Bailey Rae. Seriously need to invest in live gigs more.

[Proffessor X]

My first (proper) gig was only a few years ago, Linkin Park at the O2 arena in London
.....Although the first artist I ever saw was Shakin Stevens when I was about 8...wasn't a proper gig though he only sang 2 songs
