My first concert (that I remember) was Sharon O'Neill, a Kiwi
singer-songwriter now based in Australia. I was 16. It was held at the
Kensington Stadium, in Whangarei, NZ - the first concert held there since
the stadium went up. This is not a "stadium" as you'd know it in the US - I
think there were 1000 people, and we were packed in like sardines! I also
remember there was an uproar the following week when it was discovered that
all the stilleto heels had marked up the basketball court (not mine,
obviously - I wore sensible shoes).
