Plastic Ono Band
I also have attended more concerts than I could list, my first concert was in 1971, Jethro Tull with Yes opening the show.
1972 was probably my favorite year for concerts. In June alone I saw the Rolling Stones (June 3) Jethro Tull (June 11) and Led Zeppelin (June 19). Other favorite concerts that year were the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Mountain.
Maybe due to the fact that I grew up in that era I felt that the bands touring back then were the best, and since the late 70s I really haven't found many new bands that I really like. It was a great time to be a young concert goer!
Props to Rockadanny for taking the time to list his.

So many concerts, so little space. 8)

Jefferson Starship
....and probably a few more I can't recall.
In 1965 I took my girlfriend to the Hollywood Bowl to see Joan Baez perform. Towards the end of her performance she stopped and waved someone in from the side of the stage. Some guy came out who she introduced as Bob Dylan. I had never heard of him and his singing didn't sound like any kind of "singing" I had ever heard before. I even apologized to my girlfriend for the lousy end of the Baez concert.
The link below has a footnote indicating the Bob Dylan had opened for Joan Baez at the Hollywood Bowl in 1963. I specifically recall that Bob Dylan came on towards the end of the concert so I am quite sure that it was the 1965 concert that I attended.
