No particular order...and I'll probably come back and add to it:
First concert, a Dick Clark Caravan of Stars around 1968, at our high school:
Gary Lewis and the Playboys
Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs
The Yardbirds (post Clapton and, we think, the concert immediately after Jimmy Page left - or maybe he played, nobody knows for sure
Bobby Hebb
Brian Hyland and the Jokers
Jimmy Clanton and the Angels
Classics IV
Swingin' Medallions
Most of these in Tuscaloosa while a student:
Bill Cosby
Santana (awful)
Beach Boys with Golden Earring
The Who
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Wet Willie
Allman Brothers
Yes
The Eagles
Three Dog Night
Cheech & Chong
Grand Funk Railroad
Jethro Tull
Led Zeppelin
Bob Hope
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Elton John
Atlanta in the mid 1970s:
Steve Martin
Paul Simon
David Bowie
John Denver
Since:
Jimmy Buffett (4x: Huntsville AL, Nashville, Atlanta, Birmingham)
Billy Joel
Huey Lewis and the News
Fly By Radio (only because somebody else listed them, they're a cover band)
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Martina McBride (local festival, free!)
Blue Oyster Cult
I do regret not going to Elvis Presley (I was too cool) and Stevie Wonder with the Rolling Stones (just could not afford the $5 ticket, I had no money).
