My first was:
The Jackson's Victory Tour - 1984- Saw it with my Mom and Sister @ The Silverdome in Pontiac, MI. I was 13.

Last was:
High on Fire -2010- Oh how we change:smug:

One of my best buds' first concerts was Elvis. Now THAT is just cool:cool:

Lynyrd Skynyrd, Southern by The Grace of God Tour was first in 1988 I believe. Everclear with Marcy Playground, and Fastball in 1998 was last. I did see The Commodores a few years ago at a casino, but it didn't feel like a concert.

First: Aerosmith Just Push Play tour @ The Sacramento Valley Amphitheater in 2001
First time I ever saw boobs, all the chicks were happy to show them to Steven Tyler, and when they moved to a stage in the middle of the grass area halfway through the setlist where I was sitting, it effectively made our cheap seats the best in the house to where we got right up next to the stage, in a genuine forest of boobies. Pretty freaking mind blowing to a 13 year old at his first concert! They put on an amazing show too.

Latest: Wasp @ The Last Day Saloon on March 23, 2011 in Santa Rosa Ca.
Great to see skitzo and WASP, Skitzo did the throwing up thing and WASP rocked the house. Kinda awkward though since I went with my old bandmates when we were about a week from breaking up and we were all fairly sick of each other at that point. Great show, but no boobies (at least at the show that is ;))

Honorary mention to Judas Priest w/ Anthrax opening on 10/28/05 at the Konocti Harbor.
First METAL show and both bands rocked the place with great performances which cemented my love for metal!

First: really have no idea, some 50s band in the late 50s. Dad helped manage a couple of bands then so we went to shows. First 60s band, still can't remember, saw lots of them.

Last: Last night a friend took me to see Melissa Etheridge in Council Bluffs for my 60th birthday present. Melissa isn't one of her faves, but we had a good time and she put on a hell of a show.

First: Kort Prosess, a VERY cool Norwegian hardcore-band. 1993 I think(when hardcore was still hardcore). Their vocalist now sings in Nidingr, one of the bands I'm in.

Last: Voivod, after we (Nidingr) opened for them at the Inferno-festival in Oslo this easter.

When I was in grade eight, I went to see Opeth. Such a good show.

I am incredibly jealous of you. I was supposed to see them a few years ago and was planning on seeing them next month, but the former didn't work out and I doubt that the latter will with my situation at the moment. Lol. It must not be meant to be.
