My very first concert was Rod Stewart who opened for The Rolling Stones.   1971 at Sparten stadium in san Jose, ca.  I brought 10 something, somethings.  Fantastic concert.

I'm 68 and never been to a concert. Guess I have missed out on a part of life.

Sparky sounds like your mom calling you by your proper name to get you to tell the truth.

I honestly don't remember my first.  It probably would have been a punk show in mid 80s at the Electric Banana in Pittsburgh.

Not R&R but I think my first concert was Joan Baez when I was in high school - 1962.

Kansas, 1982 I believe.    Huntsville was there starting point for a few od their tours because the civic center was large yet cheap to rent to work things out

A friend of mine was good friends with their dummer who collected Corvetts like he did.

First concert was Alice Cooper, opening act was Flo and Eddie from the Turtles.
Second concert was Chicago, opening act was The Pointer Sisters.
Quite a contrast in styles, sometime in the early 70's at Cincinnati Gardens.
Sometimes you have to go in a circle to reach your destination.

Harry Belafonte and Mariam Makeba at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. I forget the opening act(s) as I was very young - maybe 1960-1962, Junior High.  First Rock I'm pretty sure was the original Iron Butterfly at the Van Nuys Youth Center 1965-ish.

My buddy....    :( I understand if some banishment is warranted. This was a serious lapse in judgement.

Either John Fogerty or Alice in Chains, early nineties. Both at the Salem Armory RIP.
