I think it was either late '87 or '88. @ Maple Leaf Gardens, right? I was there, great show.
My first concert was KISS @ MLG for their "Creatures Of The Night" tour in 1981. Not the original lineup (Eric Carr and Vinnie Vincent replacing Criss/Frehley) but the last tour KISS would do in makeup prior to their reunion tours.
Lots of fun for an 11 year old. Had floors, got to run up to the front of the stage for most of the show, and had a big biker guy make sure I didn't get squashed at the end with everyone herding for the exits. Chaperoned by my 14 year old brother who was on acid.

EDENFEST- does anyone remember this wicked 3 day 60 band show?
great thread soooo many great memories (or lack of)
So I realized just now after reading the replies, my post was in fact a sham all along. I just remembered I saw a Jurrasic 5 performance at the Kool Haus in Toronto a while back. It was a great show, but wasn't nearly as entertaining as the Nickleback concert, the lights and sound and effects made it what it was.

KISS - Aug 4, 1979 War Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo. Original lineup, makeup. My 13-year-old brother bought 4 tickets for my Dad's b-day - "Happy Birthday Dad, you're taking us to see KISS!". They were in their comic book/meets the Phantom movie phase, so we weren't the only family there.
My first concert was Michael Jackson - Thriller Tour (is that ever long ago now!!). That same year, I also saw Culture Club (eek!). Not much of a concert goer, though... since then I've been to see Pet Shop Boys twice, Super Furry Animals, and I think that's about it!!!
Oh, I also saw my boyfriend's band play once when we were in high school (said ex-boyfriend now posts here on Tribe, but I will keep his secret safe...)

I've been to way too many concerts.
First one was Pantera/Skid Row/Killer Dwarves in Grade 8.
First big one in Toronto was a few months later, Neil Young/Pearl Jam at Exhibition Stadium.

My first concert was Candy and the Backbeat at the Opera house.. my brother won free tickets on CHUM FM and we both went to this show.. it sucked, but free was nice
My best concert experience to date was a Del the Funky Homosapien show at Reverb. This group Blackilicious, whom I had never heard of, were the opening act. They came on and literally TORE THE ROOF OFF THE REVERB. People were singing along to tunes they had never heard.. i jumped around and danced like a fucking lunatic that night.. and then Del (who was supposed to be the MAIN ACT) came on and everyone went home. *sigh* blackilicious has owned me since that day. I even bought their cd on the way to work the next morning.
I saw them again a year later, and while the show was better the second time (they brought Latife the Truth speeker this time), it just wasn't the same shock level as the first show.
other memorable concerts.. public enemy at opera house a few years ago. my friend knows the sound guy, so he let us onto the balcony to watch the show. flava flave came up there and stood next to us as he checked out the sound.. and we also got a few shots out "to the balcony massive" that night from chuck d.
i've seen the hip 7 times and never been disappointed..

My first concert ever was Culture Club. My nan took me and my cousin, and sat with us in the crappy seats, and my mum and my auntie went together and sat in the good seats.
And I was allowed to wear a tiny bit of makeup! haha
I think I was like 8 or so.

you were at the phoenix? what did you think of the various bands?
i have no idea what the first concert i went to was, my dad took us out to jazz, rock and folk festivals from as early as i can remember. one of the first that i remember was the shuffle demons at the harbourfront outdoor stage. i would have been a little kid though.
incidentally, i just found out that richard underhill from the shuffle demons will be playing on an album that i'm going into the studio next week to do - kind of a nice full circle.
i'm going to guess that i've seen hundreds of bands, but probably under a thousand. my ears hurt after reading that.
The first concert I went to was on my 15th or 16th birthday.
I went to see Weezer at the Opera House on a school night, did acid, came home at 4am and got to listen to my Mom give me a lecture on responsibility and drugs.
The lecture really taught me 1 important lesson:
If you're on acid wait until your Mom goes to work the next day to come home.
I still failed that lesson a lot.
