My first concert that I admit to in person was the 2006 Triple J One Night Stand in Port Pirie. The Living End was headlining.

But when I think about it more, I remember going to a Lee Kernaghan concert at Balaklava(?) as a kid. Wouldn't have been any older than 12 years old.

Billy Joel at Thebby theatre in 1981

[Freo HeaveHo]

I think it was live, dolphins cry tour at entertainment centre at a guess around 1997 -98

[Dogwatcher]

First touring BDO at Adelaide Uni. Jumped the fence, got in for free. Still the best BDO line-up ever.
Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, Mudhoney, Carter USM, Disposable Heroes of Hip Hoprisy, Sonic Youth, the Clouds, etc etc

Si Lo Tienes Muevelo concert by INXS at the Apollo Stadium in 1986. I was 13

Same. Shriekback supporting. Haven't we met in a similar thread before?

[CK]

Icehouse (went with Mum) on the banks of the Torrens

I was at that concert also. Only cost $4 to get in, I reakon? A great show. My uncle, who went with me, taped the show somewhere.

[Magpiespower]

Public Enemy, Ice-T and Sound Unlimited Posse
Thebby Theatre, 1991.

Crowd heckled the absolute s#!t out of SUP from the very first song. The chick vocalist even flashed her boob at one point to win us over. But she just copped more grief coz those boobies were so small.

After the concert, the S1W's - PE's security - threw my mate's brother's mate head-first into a fence coz he got to close to Flava Flav. Blood everywhere. Flava went ballisitc at the S1's.

Then after the gig, everybody trashed the BP across the road, which made for a good "rap is evil and/a bad influence/corrupting our youth" story on the news the next day.

Memorable night.

Yes we have. Miss Jenny Morris on backing vocals.

AC/DC @ Globe Derby 1988...I was 10 years old. Thanks Mum & Dad

Same for me .. Either that or it was Eurythmics at Memorial Drive, but I prefer the sound of ACDC at the trots.

[HH3]

Sum 41 supported by New Found Glory, on the Does this look infected tour at Thebby. Blew me away, and thebby remains my favourite venue.

Jon English Apollo Stadium 1978

[RustyCage]

Metallica at the Ent Centre in 1998, supported by Horsehead

[Hondo]

I can't remember any concert before Aerosmith at Memorial Drive in 1990. The Pump Tour.

[Dissident]

Pearl Jam 1994 memorial drive. awsome show for a 14 yr old lad to sneak out and bus it to town

This was mine too. Sat next to the big tree there about 30m from the gate from the early morning.

[RJM]

Poison at the Showgrounds touring "open up and say aah" around late '88 or early '89. Had to argue with an over protective mother who liked "both kinds of music. Country AND western" to go even though I was almost 18 and holding down a full time job at the time. Thankfully my concert choices improved a lot from there on. A mate of mine hates the fact that I saw Aerosmith in 1990 but he didn't. I remind him of that fact every now and then.

Cheers

You don't realise how many hits Jon English had until he sings them all.

Eurogliders with Do Re Mi as curtain raiser at Adelaide Uni, I think it was 1984.
