Iron Maiden (number of the beast tour)
Depeche Mode (construction time again)
Ultravox (can’t remember what tour)
All at St David’s Hall (Cardiff) which was pretty much the only venue in the city at that point.

My first two were in Derby which was about a 12 mile ride which on an old clapped out C50 with possibly 1 candlepower headlight was pretty entertaining all on its own right…lol
Rainbow was at Bingley Hal, Stafford and that fortunately had a bus organised from our local town although we missed it for the trip back home and had to thumb it back, which is a whole nother tale!
Oh dear, I can’t remember. I know the first concert was four guys and a reel-to-reel tape player at the Hammersmith Odeon in '82… they were the original line-up of Depeche Mode. I saw a lot of live music and theatre after that.
Def Leppard at the Sheffield Show, just before releasing their first single ('79?). Probably followed by The Ramones at the Top Rank Suite and either Gillan or Whitesnake at the City Hall.
