I couldn't come anywhere close to all of them.

My first concert was Iron Butterfly in 1970. In '71 I saw Three Dog Night and Creedence Clearwater Revival. In '72 I saw Black Sabbath (opening act Gentle Giant, that changed everything right there), then I saw Led Zeppelin, the last time they ever played Portland OR. Everything starts getting hazy after that, the standout being in 1974 when I saw Jethro Tull, still the greatest concert of my life. I wrote a review of that in another forum, I may post that review here someday.

But it's literally hundreds of shows, there's some of them that I know were great shows, but being the blackout drunk that I was (been sober for almost 18 years) I have no recollection of them.
