Back in '99 I went to see Crosby, Stills & Nash with my folks. It was a killer show! My first prog show was Yes back in '02, with Porcupine Tree as an opening act.

KISS on the Creatures Of The Night tour with Molly Hatchet opening.
Most vivid memory: A sprinting Paul Stanley going into a dramatic slide on his knees, only to have his knees catch on the surface and him toppling over in a heap of spandex, teased hair, and kabuki makeup.

Aside from local groups (the first of which I could never recall), it was Children of Bodom in '03, at the Back Room in Austin..

Iron Maiden on the Killers Tour at The Odeon in Edinburgh in 1981, with Paul Di'Anno on vocals. The support band was Trust (excellent heavy metal from France, their song Antisocial was later covered by Anthrax).
Next was Hawkwind on the Sonic Attack Tour, again at the Edinburgh Odeon.
After this it was Rush at the Ingliston Exhibition Centre. I went with my cousin and my brother, it was my brother's first gig. We went there by bus and my uncle was going to pick us up after the concert but his car broke down. We ended up having to get a taxi home, it was about 35 miles and cost my mum a fortune!

I was 13 when I went to a schoolparty in Scheveningen (part of The Hague, my hometown) in 1973, in the gymnastics hall was a band playing, I attended their concert because I was pleased by their swinging blend of several styles with great guitarwork and a good singer, later I heard that the name of the band was ALQUIN  !

Since I'm older than dirt I can't say for sure but I think it was The Five Americans singing their hit "Western Union" at the Bronco Bowl in the mid 60s. Or it could have been the Beach Boys about the same time. Well, you DID ask!

The first big concert I remember going to was Ozzfest back in 1998, I must have been 12 or 13.
I remember seeing Sevendust, Limp Bizkit  , and of course Ozzy. The first band we saw when we got there was the end of Incubus' set back before they were even close to popular.
The worst part was that Tool was there, but I didn't like them at the time so I didn't pay any attention!
