What artists/bands have you seen live, and who played in the first concert you went to?
I don't think you realize the complexity of this question. You are asking about 25 years worth of seeing live music. My memory isn't that good. I will just list what I can think of in no particular order. Some I saw in their prime, some after their prime, and a pinch before they hit it big. A few were part of a multi band show (some were blah). I'm only including national acts, not any local bands.
Robert Cray/John Hiatt (recent show, Cray was maybe 5th time, Hiatt was first show I've seen), George Thorogood, Fabulous T-Birds, Kim Wilson (solo), Tom Petty, Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Alabama Shakes (saw them in a 300 person venue before they went bigger), AC/DC, Def Leppard, Poison, Bare Naked Ladies, Marc Cohn, Five for Fighting, All American Rejects (hated them, part of multi show), Judas Priest when they got back with Halford, Cake, Gov't Mule, Ice Cube, Limp Bizkit, Delbert McClinton, Rammstein (German metal, hell YEAH!), Korn (they sucked, left when they started, part of multi band show), Del Amitri, John Mayall, Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow, Colbie Caillat, Squeeze (not with Paul Carrack, but still a great show), The Police, The Moody Blues, Marshal Crenshaw, Nick Lowe, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Neil Young, Stone Temple Pilots, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, BB King, Chris Isaak, Santana, Chicago (but with the "new" singer...meh), The Doobie Brothers (most of the original lineup), Megadeth, Susan Tedeschi, Hootie and the Blowfish, Sade, John Legend, Huey Lewis...
Well, that is what I can think of. There are probably more I can't remember.
Now, the first concert...maybe I shouldn't tell you. It is "old school," and a band I liked as a kid....Loverboy.
