I saw The Who in '09... alright, I didn't "see" them, but heard them when they played the Melbourne Grand Prix.

I also saw AC/DC on the Black Ice tour, at Etihad. That was my first real gig.

I can't remember my first album. I think it was either the '8 Mile' soundtrack or a 'Best of The Doors.'

If we are going down that route then my first gig was a Play School concert

I was given John Farnham - Whispering Jack as a present.
First album i ever purchased "myself" is a tough one, i was a big soundtrack cd buyer more than an artist/band album buyer when i was younger, something that stays true today. In that regard it would be the Wayne's World soundtrack cd.
