My first concert was The Pretenders when I was 17. katsy, I like the Blind Pilot performance you posted (never heard of that band before) and agree with you and Erica that it seems a serene, secure environment in which to introduce your daughter to live music. Same for Burning Down's clip of the REM concert -- the crowd doesn't seem the least bit raucous. My daughter was 12 when I took her to her first concert, (radio station) Z100's Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden. A group of her friends from school went with us. Destiny's Child, Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani, Maroon 5, Good Charlotte. Oh, and Ashlee Simpson. Suffice to say I was glad when we got home! When my daughter was about 16, she started going unaccompanied by me to concerts with friends. I remember her seeing her hearthrob Jason Mraz and Jimmy Eat World and Paramore at that age.
