First song you ever played on stage?

In Junior High band class I played timpani on South Pacific
On drums it was either 18 (Alice Cooper) or Honky Tonk Woman
On bass it would be something like Ain't got you, Can't Explain, etc.
 
Whole Lotta Love, in front of a bunch of people I'd never seen before at a blues/BBQ joint. I was 15 and the house bassist was really nice to me. He set me up through his rig, set the level, made sure it sounded good, looped my cord through my strap, and was just really great in general.
