There are a lot of bands that I missed (Tool, NIN, Alice in Chains 1.0) and a lot of bands I need to see before the band members die/retire (Metallica, Rush, Anthrax).
 
First concert was Kansas and Atlanta Rythym Section in 1980. I went to a......record store to buy a ticket and the guy behind the counter said "Only one?" Because my buddy already had tic, I said yes. He walks over to the computer and grabs a single ticket off the top. Front row, dead center. My buddy was flabbergasted. I've also seen:

Molly Hatchett several times, got to party with them once. Way cool.
Kiss
Peter Frampton
The Who
The Rolling Stones
ACDC
Black Sabbath
Ozzy
Eric Clapton
Deep Purple
Jethro Tull
van Halen
Styx
The Grateful Dead
Pat Benatar
Robert Plant
The Firm
Bad Company
Paul McCartney
Rush
Neil Young
Alice Cooper
Def Lepard
The Kinks
Jefferson Starship
Jimmy Buffet
The Beach Boys
Bryan Adams
John Mellancamp
Heart
Foreigner
The Outlaws
Gregg Allman
The Allman Brothers
ZZ Top
Pink Floyd
I've seen all of the bands above, and I mean all of tbem, at least twice. I was going to concerts at the rate of 2 or so a week, all through high school. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale and it was cool when all of the bands would start AND end their tours down there in the warm winter months. Rush used to do a Spring Training tour revolving around baseball teams all around Florida.
