My first was good ol' Slim Dusty, then Lee Kernaghan, Adam Brand and also The Dropkick Murphy's.

[Bax]

I don't get out often enough, never saw the thrill in going to them until you see a few good ones on DVD and the likes.

First was back in about 2000. Silverchair, Grinspoon and Jebediah.

[T3ts50]

Blink 182 in 04 at Festival Hall

[Steve D]

Not sure which was first (but still got the ticket stubs at home), all around 1989 or thereabouts:

• INXS: Kick tour
• Noiseworks (Moomba concert)
• U2 - Lovetown tour 1989
• Steve Winwood - Back in the High Life tour

Prior to that, Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms tour was the one I wished I went to.

[Blue Oval Mopar Man]

Ohhh dear , Dont laugh I got draged along by my girl at the time ! Her dad was a bank manager so I was keen to impress!

The year was 1984 , the venue was The Cairns showgrounds and the artist was Cliff Richards ! : :

[bigdave]

first real concert was in 2004 at the brissie entertainment center, Korn, Static-x, fear factory and sunk loto, was quite a good concert.

first mosh pit was at the river stage this year at the korn, disturbed, hatebreed, 10 years concert, and it was for hatebreed, i thought it was pretty brutal untill disturbed came on and everyone suged forward and we lost one of our group, later found her unconcious about 20meters away after the whole disturbed set.

[JADED6]

1st = 1997, Adelaide Ent Centre - LIVE - Supported by one of my fav bands, Melbourne pub rockers - HORSEHEAD. (probably better than live on the night)

[Gambit]

The first I can remember going to was Metallica in '98 with Horsehead at newcastle.

Probably that or Machine Head at the Uni Roundhouse in sydney would be one of the best shows I have been to.

[AC/DC]

AC/DC blow up your video tour - 1986 Brisbane........

very average record, , but very awesome concert....

[Lumpen Proletariat]

My first gig was the Angels and Cheap Trick at the Hordern Pav back in 1990

[naxh96]

1st John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1998 (i was 11)

Since then AC/DC (living end opened, great guns), nickelback (twice), Motley Crue, Crusty demons global assault. Hanging out for audioslave when they come next

[Doctor Sodways]

First concert i remember going to, i know i went to many before, was the AC/DC ballbreaker tour here in adelaide, got Angus Youngs guitar pick, cant beat going to school the next day not being able to hear and trying to explain to your year 3 teacher why.

Since then, so many live bands its not funny, 2 of the best shows ive seen were System of a Down and Slipknot at BDO, that was awesome, but cant beat seeing a live band that you know, then going drinking with them afterward. Each time my mates come over from the states its a massive road trip and a big drinking session, great fun

[punkin]

Bay City Rollers in Sydney in the 70s (I was under 10), first "real" concert - David Bowie at Lang Park, U2 at Festival Hall, actually ALL concerts at Festival Hall in the 80s

Having said that, the support band was unkown to me, certainly not The Quo. Must have been a different tour man. Maybe it was '74. I went with my Dad as a youngster, I'll ask him.

[Charliewool]

Maybe there was a later one at Festival Hall?...
This is the one I went to in 73..
