iirc, the first concert i went to was a jeff healey show at the rainbow in ottawa that i ended up at because my dad had custody. and, i had to sit cross-legged on the floor a foot in front of him because i was underage (my dad knew the bar owner, otherwise i wouldn't have been allowed in at all). my dad was livid that he had to sit in the bar while i got to basically sit on the stage. he was playing his slide up there...

i also vaguely remember seeing blue rodeo in a field at the gloucester fair or something.
