What Band do You Regret Not Seeing Live?

[rsm]

Other than bands I like that I was too young to see live, I've seen most bands / musicians I've wanted, except Led Zep (I saw Page & Plant tour).


I would have liked to see Death on the Human or Individual Thought Patterns tours.

I would have liked to see Allan Holdsworth live.

I would have liked to see early '80s Belew-era King Crimson.

I would have liked to see the 1990 SOS tour - with Sepultura, Obituary, Sadus.

Yeah he is the forerunner of all loud rock guitar. My wife went and saw him a couple times, tickets were like $15. Bargain. He autographed her CD.

I knew the bar owner, so I got in free, VIP section (we had floor seats)

I saw VH when they toured for the first album (and two other tours). I don’t remember who opened. In fact, I have no recollection of that concert whatsoever . I know I was there - I used to have a ticket stub…

I saw VH open for Black Sabbath in '78 Never Say Die Tour, then saw the VH2 tour; saw Ozzy on both Blizzard and Diary tours with Rhoads.

I’m going to go with ZZ Top…

Especially before the move to digital, quantized drums and the pop BS…

Regret would mean I had the opportunity to see them, but didn't. But yeah, seeing them tour for any one of their first 4 albums would be right up their with seeing Hendrix, Zeppelin, or the Stones in their prime.

On that front I'd say Mastodon and Soundgarden top my list for shows I shoulda, woulda, coulda. Also Red Hot Chili Peppers on the tour for BSSM. Shit, and almost forgot Faith No More on the tour for Angel Dust opening for Metallica on the tour for AFJA.

AC/DC, they never came to Hawaii ever... wish I saw Rush, sadly the last time they played in Hawaii was 1984 when I was a youngin.

Prince.

Guy I used to work with would go every time he played Atlanta, always raved about how good the show was & urged me to go to one.

Saw Gary open for Rush in 1984. I went specifically to see Gary but I did like Rush also . Gary was awesome , I saw him again in 1987

bummed i could’ve gone to that show and missed ever seeing both.

Black Sabbath
