My first concert was The Vienna Boys Choir at the Kennedy Center.

My first rock show was Lock Up opening up for Sea Hags at the Thunderbird Bar in Jacksonville NC.

I bet @Yer Ol' Uncle D knows the importance of Lock Up.
Mine also was Guns 'N Roses in November/December of 1991 for the Use your Illusion tour in Chicago. A new local up and coming band opened for them. I remember that band getting booed off of the stage, and then a year later they were blowing up, and to this day I personally don't understand why. That band was Smashing Pumpkins. Next 2 shows after that for me were Depeche Mode and the Cure. I've been a Hip Hop junkie ever since.
 
My first show was Beck on the Odelay tour in 1997...

I got pulled off stage and assaulted by security during his set at Bumbershoot that year. I was thrown out of Seattle Center

That was the one year I attended Illinois State. For some reason I decided not to go to this show even though my dorm was basically right across the street.
 
mine was
guns on new year's eve, soundgarden opening.
I was at that show!!! Maybe the worst sound of any concert I’ve been to, but I was in the upper deck.

it really was terrible. soundgarden was both muffled and tinny. worst sound i've ever heard in a concert was taj mahal opening for tom petty on the wildflowers tour -- i don't know if the sound dude just hated Taj or just didn't care or what, but they cranked the treble and it was physically painful to listen to the damn set.
 
Weezer, Phoenix AZ November 2001, right after the DBacks became the youngest team to win the World Series, beating a post-9/11 Yankees. Tenacious D and Jimmy Eat World opened; had no clue who Tenacious D were before that night.
I saw that line up at Redbird Arena I was a going to school in Peoria, IL at the time and we drove down and bought tix from a scalper and slept on my friends, girlfriends dorm room floor. I remember I had just totaled out my car and got a nice check for it and used some of that money to buy tickets and a Tenacious D “Cleveland Steamers” hoodie. Overall it was a fantastic show, “Only In Dreams” was an epic closer too.
 
Just a reminder - the absolutely incredible psychedelic rock comp "Psych-Out Christmas" finally got a reissue and releasing tomorrow. Pretty cheap at Amazon, too!

the first concert i remember was my parents taking us to a Loretta Lynn/Dolly Parton show at Dollywood in the late 80s

the first concert I attended with my friends was this sick DMB show in 1996. Soul Coughing opened.
That was the first time I saw DMB, it made them one of my top 3 favorite artists. I've been hoping they'd officially release it. They did officially release "Little Thing" from the show, so I know they in their archives.
"Lie in our Graves" was amazing.
