I saw them on that tour in Philadelphia. Best concert I ever went to!I went to see Pink Floyd at blossom
It was the Dark Side of the Moon tour and I was amazed at all the semi trucks with the album graphics on them and all the equipment ..... WOW . Great concert from the first note to the last
The first I remember was Jefferson Airplane, 1968 or so.
The Young Rascals.. Oh, about 1966 or so..
If I remember correctly, The Vagrants were on the bill also.. Just about as good as The Rascals

Either Stecher and Horowitz (duo pianists) or The Irish Rovers ... both when I was a kid with my parents ... don't remember which was first though.
Cambridge Corn Exchange, The Stranglers sometime around September or October 1977. I saw them again there in about 1998, and then just this year in Melbourne in February.
Usher's Truth Tour, Staples Center, Los Angeles. Good concert.
Foghat. Early 1980s. I can't remember exactly what the deal was, but they were going through some changes in band members, and so for a couple of weeks they played a dive of a club out near my little town evidently to tighten up before touring. Good times. \m/ \m/
I like most psychedelic rock, but this is pretty high on the charts.
Rolling stones Wembley stadium 1990, will never forget
They put on the best live show I ever saw (1965-Louisville). They really knew how to develop a rapport with the audience and the sound system was great, unlike Dylan's mid 60s shows with the Band which drowned out his vocals. PP&M's double "In Concert" CD is a great representation of their shows back them.
I just had an old brain cell come to life and remind me that the first live act I saw was Bobby Rydell on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City in the summer of 1964. After Rydell's live show they would run the movie, A Hard Days Night. His song Wild One was ok, but I was not a fan. I went to the show for the Beatles movie which had just come out.
I cannot keep the early 60s Bobbies straight: Rydell, Vinton, Darin, Vee, Goldsboro (mostly later I think, as was Sherman). Dylan I can keep straight! 
I should add that my first college concert (1965) was Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts at--of all places--Oberlin.
Traffic 1973
Soundgarden
I asked my old man about that very thing. He said it was the Beatles' Chevy. I said that didn't make sense, the Beatles were British pop and the Stones (in their early days) were British bluesy rock. He then said you had to be there.
I imagine I'll be having those same conversations with my children in another 10-15 years. Trying to explain why Nirvana or Alice in Chains (Rookie's happy music) was so big.

I asked my old man that question. He saw them in 72. He told me they were the Beatles' Chevy. I told him that didn't make sense, 2 different styles of music. He replied you had to be there.
And I know one day I'll be having Ybor same conversation with my children. Dad, why did Nirvana get so popular?
Jethro Tull, 1978 in Miami. Still one of the best shows I've ever seen.
After the Victorian era and two world wars probably anything new coming along was going to cause quite a commotion. Vera Lynn and Glen Miller were great and all that, but the yoof were earning and moving on fast.
