Rush....1982 ? & 1986, the Fabulous Forum.
1990 Seattle went with the bosses secretary since the wife was 9 months pregnant. I still hear about that one every so often (but she told me to go).

Beach Boys in Vegas when I was probably around 5 years old. Can't remember exactly. I do remember it being very loud and a lot of beach balls being thrown around. :D

A local radio station KBLA put on a all day all nite concert with all these act appearing on stage:
The Who, Music Machine, The Easybeats now called AC/DC, Doors, Love, Eric Burden & the Animals, The Byrds, Donovan, Sonny and Sher, Yardbirds, Moody Blues, and they introduced a band called the Monkeys.

Also saw the Beatles that year,, but don't remember which concerts came first.

First concert was probably the Beach Boys with my parents in the 70's. First concert I went to without them was probably Van Halen in about 7th or 8th grade. That would make it about 1982. I also saw Billy Squire and somebody at about the same time. I can't remember what I went to first.
