T'Pau at Capitol Theatre, Aberdeen

not a concert but this is my favorite birthday present on 10/1/68:

Night of the Living Dead premiered in the United States. Originally titled Night of the Flesh Eaters, and filmed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the movie's first showing was in that city at the Fulton Theatre, at 8:00, with admission by invitation only.

The closest I could find was the NME poll winners party, starring Adam Faith, and Emile Ford and the Checkmates

The Beatles played in Belfast. Setlist.fm doesn't have a way to search by date unfortunately, so I'm not sure about others.

I was born in the summer of love, so all the famous 60s bands you can think of were playing.

xp you can search "date:yyyy-mm-dd" on setlist.fm

That's cool, 40 blocks south of Joni at Carnegie Hall, Yes were playing at the Academy of Music, one of the concerts recorded for Yessongs.

I'll be damned. Captain Beefheart played the Whiskey A Go-Go in Denver (where I was not born, but was raised) on the day I was born. Three sets!

you can search "date:yyyy-mm-dd" on setlist.fm

Amazing! I can now add:
Bee Gees at Stadthalle, Bremen (I guess with Procol Harum, mentioned above)
Blue Cheer at Freeborn Hall, Davis, CA
Tim Buckley at Cheetah, Santa Monica, CA
Eric Burdon & The Animals at Whisky A Go Go, West Hollywood, CA
Chicago at D.J.'s, Madison, WI
Miles Davis at Bohemian Caverns, Washington, DC
and the biggie: Johnny Hallyday at Teatro Ópera, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Not to mention REO Speedwagon at Illini Brown Jug, Champaign, IL. They were around in 1968?!

Wow, there is a shit ton. Otis Redding played the Apollo!
