My second concert was Rez Band somewhere within the Empire State Plaza, probably the tour for Hostage, ~1985.
My first secular concert was Metallica at the RPI Fieldhouse on the ...And Justice for All tour. That was awesome.
Love how those first three hit Albany, Schenectady, and Troy. Goddamn I miss home...

The next concert I went to was with 4 other friends when I was 16, its was Metallica at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. The tour was in support of the Black Album and they didn't have an opener just and extra long set. I still recall the clip for The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly that they start the show with, and apparently they used that little sequence quite a bit from then on.
In both instances I was surrounded by pot smoke most of the night and came home with the munchies.

It's hard to say, as I've been to Dio's Last in Line tour(might have been Holy Diver), Van Halen Hide Your Sheep tour, Def Leppard Pyromania tour, Journey Frontiers tour, Metallica Kill 'Em All tour, Police Synchronicity tour, Scorpions Blackout tour, Prince 1999 tour, and Iron Maidens World Piece tour all within the same year or two in around 1982-3-ish?
It was my musical awakening years.

We thought we were so bad ass, I wore a denim jacket with the sleeves cut off and a Nuclear Assault back patch on it. I didn't have long hair, I had a gelled-up spiky thing going. Total teenage metal dork.
On the bill- Anthrax, Helloween and Exodus. So of course it was awesome. They were touring on "State of Euphoria", "Keeper of the Seven Keys part II" and "Fabulous Disaster", respectively. I remember being really kind of scared but it was that excited, exhilarated kind of fear. I remember at the end, Helloween and Exodus came running back out on stage and pelted Anthrax with tennis balls and shaving cream. It was that kind of goofy, late 80s thrash thing. Of course I got the T-shirt, I was upset that they didn't have the Judge Death shirt so I settled for the one that had the illustration of the band done up in MAD Magazine style by Mort Drucker.
Damn, that's awesome. Helloween is one of my favorite bands. "Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II" changed my life, although I didn't hear it until ten years after it came out.
