First concert: When I was 17 I saw the Allman Brothers live at Pine Knob in Southern Michigan. I think this was around ‘98-‘99. My cousin had won free tickets from the local FM radio station. We both ate mushrooms and fruited out pretty hard. I saw my first hippie tits: there were several fully nude women in the crowd enjoying the show.

The drive home in my ‘88 honda accord was brutal and riddled with bouts of extreme paranoia. Good times.
 
I don't know about the first but my favorite was probably The Doors. Back then concerts seemed affordable, prices are outrageous now. I suppose with so much digital music now they try to make more money with concerts.
