First: Boxcar Willie and the Mandrell Sisters that my parents tooke to as a wee lad. Actually, it may have been the Statler Brothers first.

Last: Grace Potter/Cee Lo/Ben Harper at the park down the street from my house last summer. I was too drunk to enjoy it, though. Apparently, I didn't like what I was hearing and was heckling them. I think I was actually drug back home before Ben Harper. I don't have a problem. Really. It was just that damn free beer garden...
It's also possible that the alcohol paradoxically improved your ability to accurately assess Cee Lo Green's degree of musical aptitude.

I don't know about that, necessarily, but I probably would have been able to keep my mouth shut about it, not been a sloppy drunk, and been able to power through it well enough to enjoy the rest of the evening.

first: james brown--circa 1965. life changing and mind altering! still one of the two greatest shows i've ever seen (along with the who at the warehouse in new orleans, fall '71, showcasing who's next.

most recent: guy clark last fall. one of our greatest songwriters and approaching national treasure status. his first album (ol' #1) is still my favorite of his. he's not in great health, so catch him while you still can.

I think the first was AC/DC when they were doing the "Highway To Hell" tour.
I think the last was Van Halen in Winston-Salem in the early 80's at the old Coliseum.

1 - The Yardbirds with Jimmy Page at a dance at my HS, Christ The King, in Middle Village Queens, NY. 1968. They played in the cafeteria, used the kitchen as a dressing room and stood on top of the lunch tables for their set. I stood literally 3 ft. in front of Jimmy Page for the whole set and got his and the whole bands autographs after the show. Just unbelievable and still a thrill when I think back.

I was going to say post a picture of this or it didn't happen, but then in googling this, I see in the dealmac archive from 2004 you say you actually do have a picture.

For me,

the Who (the clash opening) in 1979

The new pornographers locally at a club; Neko was there backstage but didn't come out for some unexplained reason.

I'll see if I can dig up the photo and autographs - it really did happen, check out this page from another HS show they did:
