Ditto LQ, I too have always regretted never seeing Freddie
Daughter and I saw We Will Rock You in the West End some years ago, it was really good
The first concert I saw was The Beach Boys in Belfast in 1967. I was madly in love with Dennis the drummer. My older brother was also at the concert but sitting elsewhere and the next day he ticked me off, "You were screaming!"
Many concerts since then but the last live venue I was at was Hyde Park in 2017, daughter who lives in London bought us both tickets (my birthday pressie!) to see Tom Petty. Was gutted to read a couple of months later that he had died
I am going to stay with daughter end of March and we are going to see Lindisfarne in West London and also Fascinating Aida at The Fairfield Halls. Should be a fun trip!

Re: Your first...
I was brought up in a village in Warwickshire, then we moved to Manchester when I was 17A couple of the lads at school invited me to go with them to see Joan Baez at the Free Trade Hall. That would have been sometime in 1967
This was something of a revelation, as I hadn't really understood till then that you could actually go and see the musicians in the flesh, as opposed to listening to their records and watching them on TV --and so that was my first concert
After that I joined a folk club, to see various musicians, some better known than others
Then I moved on to see many Prog Rock bands at the Free Trade Hall and other venues, but also Woody Herman, Oscar Peterson, and others
