As a moderator, I'd usually caution you against personal abuse, but in this case, I have to say I agree with you; dwill123, you are a complete & utter UTTER poohead

Thinking about it - ELP, Curved Air & Edgar Winter?
Once all the keyboards were set up, was there any room on stage for the other musicians?

Seconded!
Strictly speaking it was the Spanish Symphonic-Fusion band Fusioon, with my family in 1975 or 1976, aged 9 or 10, but I don't remember much of it except that I was impressed, especially by the drums (they had one of the best Spanish drummers Santi Arisa).
Not with my family but with friends I think the first was AC/DC Back In Black tour in 1980 (aged 14) and then some other non-prog concerts (Hard-Rock & Heavy mainly).
Truly Prog I think Marillion's Misplaced Childhood tour in 1985.

My greatest experiences have been in small, crowded clubs watching punk and post-punk bands playing in Europe. In France I saw a post-rock Mogwai-type band playing a hypnotic set, and I was so close I could've jumped on stage. That's the way live music should be experienced.

Agreed but not with punk bands please, Prog!  and better if not too crowded. That's one good thing of Prog not being very popular since the 80's, I have seen many good Prog bands in really small venues, just in front of the stage, lovely concerts!
During Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour concert in a very big stadium it was so crowded I could barely breathe and I consumed so much substances that I fainted and my friends had to carry me away to the very back where there was some air, I missed 1/4 of the concert

It would be the Summers End Festivel at Bilstons Robin 2, back in September 2006.
So that would be Ezra, Credo, White Willow (particularly glad to have seen these guys and gals), Srangefish, Pendragon, Darwins Radio, Guy Manning acoustic set, Flamborough Head, Also Eden and The Flower Kings over the weekend.

Jethro Tull at Madison Square Garden on the Warchild Tour. Was a sophomore in high school. Still one of the great concert memories of my life. Long set-over 2 hours and they still had lengthy sections of TAAB and PP in the set along with all of Warchild and classics from Agualing and Benefit.

It was in the far away 1979, and I am not really sure if was the amazing 3 hours concert of Roxy Music in castel St Angelo in Rome, or the concert of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso always in Rome, of the tour of *canto di Primavera"

Hawkwind at The Majestic in Reading, UK. December 1986.
It was the loudest noise I'd ever heard in my life. At 16 it was quite a scary experience, being surrounded by bikers and hippies openly doing all manner of drugs. I was quite innocent. Great gig though. Glad I got to see them with Huw Lloyd Langton.

Yes "Union" in april 1991 at Le Colisée in Quebec City. They came back after the roadies had begun to put away the instruments because there was too much applause and nobody had left. They played Starship Trooper, and Steve Howe wasn't there, he was back in his car! He told that story and apologized to us when he played a solo show here two years later.

Depends if you count Wishbone Ash circa 1972 as prog - if so that was my first prog gig (and my first gig of any type)
If not, then I saw Procol Harum whilst I was at uni - that would be either 1975 or 76.
And if they don't count, it would be Camel around 1978

Wasn't the Union tour in '91? I saw three shows that year. 1 in Oakland which was the only "in the round" version I saw. The second round I saw them at Concord and Mountain View. I think the first prog band I saw was Rush on the Presto tour 89. Before that was all punk and metal shows.
