First concert was real band-geek stuff: Maynard Ferguson, in maybe '82 or '83. He was great tho- I eventually saw him 5 times over the years.
First major concert was The Cure, in '86, Head on the Door tour at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA. They were great! I was in the very front for most of it, til my girlfriend kinda passed out from being squished by the crowd. I remember as a teen-aged fanboy being disappointed that Robert Smith had chopped off his hair, but the sound was fantastic.
