    Queen - Freddie Mercury and all. In St. Louis at the "old arena"

    Bohemian Rhapsody, Fat Bottomed Girls, We Will Rock You...

    That must have been fantastic. One band I'm sad I missed.

    I would agree

    Mine was Weird Al Yankovic. I can't remember the year, because I was only 9-10 years old at the time but that would have been around 1985 or 1986 when "Dare to Be Stupid" came out :-D

    Mine was Lionel Hampton at The Royal Festival Hall in London in about '92/'93

    For those of you too young to know who he was, he was a fantastic jazz drummer and vibraphone player.

    It may have been Nigel Kennedy, but I'm pretty sure it was Lionel.

    Green Day, 1995, the old Memorial Concert Hall whatever that got bulldozed to make the Rose Garden in Portland

    They played all of Dookie and I remember it sounded ten times better than the album. Billy Joe mooned us, which he was famous for getting arrested for, back in the day. A really ridiculously stupid ska band called The High Fives opened for them and, during brief pauses in music, the three guys on stage would seriously high five at the same time.

    Will never forget it.

    The first concert I went to because my mom wanted to go was probably Whitney Houston in the 80's.

    The first concert I went to because I wanted to go, I think, was Barenaked Ladies
