First: Seals & Crofts 1971 or 72, but backstage, so they weren't facing me. Can't recall the next one.
Last: Saw a few bands at SXSW (Lenka, Blue King Brown) and KISS a couple of years ago.

First: Iron Maiden, with Anthrax opening for them. Birmingham NEC, must have been about 1990/91
Last: Killing Joke, at Brixton Academy a couple of months ago. Should have been watching Loop, The Fall, and Swans in Manchester tonight, but my mate can't make it, and I've seen this version of Swans enough not to bother going on my own.

My first show was country band Sawyer Brown in the year 1986 somewhere in the Jacksonville area of Florida which is where I was born. I turned four years old in June of that year.
My most recent show was my getting to see my most favorite singer James Otto this past October in Gatlinburg, TN.
God bless you and him and Sawyer Brown always!!!

I don't go to concerts that often and can't remember which band was first. Most were bands and not solo-artists. In-fact I can't recall offhand any soloist's concert I might've been to. Anyway, the first was either the Rolling Stones or the Talking Heads. I've also went to a concert in which Level 42 opened for Madonna (probably my one-and-ONLY soloist concert; although she of course had a backup band). I also saw the Manhattan Transfer at Ravinia during their 'Vocalese' tour. Any others I don't remember. I hate crowds so that's why I don't go too often. Only a few times over decades run.

First: Erasure at the old Marquee in London
Last: The Godfathers
Though I could have replied this Sunday after seeing Depeche Mode the night before and claim some strange-ish synchronicity

I am getting a grey on...so have to admit to nagging parents to see The Shadows at Great Yarmouth when I was about 6...and getting a bit of a cuff for falling asleep during.
First band I paid my own money to see [although was taken to many concerts by elder cousins as a littlun] was Manfred Mann's Earthband, whom I subsequently saw about a dozen times during 70's and 80's.
Most recent concert was Ennio Morricone a couple of months ago, and most recent 'currentish' music act was Ryan Adams although I mainly wanted to see the support act, Karen Elsen. Best concerts I've seen in recent years are Warpaint, U2, Coldplay and First Aid Kit. Band I would love to see now is Future Islands. Best Acts seen live ever are Horslips [12 times] and Pink Floyd [4 x times], Hawkwind (lost count), Fleetwood Mac (twice) and David Bowie (twice), Warpaint and U2 Most disappointing was Dire Straits.

First was actually a festival where I saw many bands. But my first “solo” concert was Marilyn Manson.
The last one has been a while. I don’t go to concerts that much anymore because of my panic disorder. So it’s either Marilyn Manson or Kasabian.
