Where and when?
Cleveland and a long as time ago. One of Kiss' goodbye tours.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

The first concert I went to was a Jesus fest with my sister when I was 14. Third Day and Mary Mary.
My first concert of volition was Incubus in 2001.

They were my second concert (July 19, 1974) Fayetteville, North Carolina while I was with the 82nd Airborne. I had actually gone to see Black Oak Arkansas.

The first concert of my choosing was the Cult opening for Metallica on the Damaged Justice tour. It was January of '89 in Knoxville, TN, and the tickets were a Christmas present from my dad. I could practically smell his swollen pride as he walked into the venue with his twelve-year-old daughter, who couldn't have been more excited for that show. I'd probably be swimming in cash right now if it weren't for the addiction to live music that first one caused.

I was bored. It was at the basketball stadium at FSU. Meh.

First arena show I went to was Rush, at the LA Forum, in October of 1987.
I knew Moe Bandy back when he was in high school. Funny, I grew up on country music and can't stand it now.
The first concert was Foghat, Emerson, lake, & Palmer, and Head East (?) 1972-73 one of the loudest I ever recall.
OP - I saw VH 1984 in Vegas was like the next to last concert before the break-up, someone threw a silky handkerchief with a heavy object in it and hit him right in the eye as he slid up to the edge of the stage on his knees and the whole band came to a screeching halt. He was pissed and screaming and cussing and threatened to turn the whole auditorium into a riot to punish who ever threw it. The bassist put on a solo show that was beyond description, like tossing the guitar from 15 feet up right in the middle of the stage the noise... it made... and the show stopped short.

Barenaked Ladies, Hershey, PA, Feb 18 (<- I think) 2004.
Very very awesome. They're effectively a combo concert/stand-up routine. Very very funny and skilled

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Reminds me of when I saw Pink Floyd in 1994 on an abandoned airfield. Got the tickets for free, since a couple just learned they were expecting their very first child and gave them to me. Scared of what the music might do to the unborn.
Heh, when my son's mom was at seven months pregnant with him, we went to go see Carlos Santana. Everybody, your ob'd'nt correspondent included, was up and dancing. Raylene said my son was dancing in her belly, too.
