Willie Dixon.Muddy Waters
Jimi Hendrix.The Band.
I’d love to have seen the Beatles doing some of their later stuff live, but I’m pretty sure they never did tour with that material.Apart from that, I’ve managed to see most bands I like, but there are some I wish I’d seen earlier in their careers
Hanoi Rocks
Blondie
Santana
Van Halen
Jefferson Airplane
There are plenty of others I want to see, but they are still touring. At least I hope they are once we get past COVID.1 -
Mostly the ones that had split up by the time I was old enough to go to gigs.....
The Beatles
Led Zep
The Who (with Moon)
The Doors (with Jim)
I have seen the last 2 - The Doors with Ray & Robbie (can't remember who was lead singer- Eddie Veader ?) and The Who with Zac Starkey on drums (with Joe Strummer as Support act)

I would’ve given anything to see Otis Redding but he sadly passed away five years before I was born.1

Sad to say that being a full on mod ( which the majority of the audience were), I was really into soul and ska at the time I didn’t fully appreciate what I was seeing and hearing....it was the first gig he did in The UK outside of one or two he had done in central London, he had just signed a promotional deal with The Gunnel brothers management/circuit ......dodgy couple of bastards they were. 🤨🤨🤨
Of course, it wasn’t very long before I and many others realised his immense talent, things changed and we started to take notice.
Feel a bit guilty about it to be honest.....but I was a devout Geno Washington fan at the time......who, incidentally was also signed up by The Gunnels.1 -
Would have loved to have seen The Sex Pistols with Glen Matlock (first time atound) and X Ray Spex0

Queen W/ Freddie Mercury.
Regardless of what nonsense some people will say about them being terrible or Freddie being a ‘terrible singer’, they are regarded as one of the ultimate live bands of the last 50 years.Would love to have seen Pink Floyd too.
Being born in 87 meant I missed out on both.0 -

Floyd were great too, saw them on their last tour at Earls Court.1 -

Great to hear what you said about Geno, my friends were always seeing him in Woolwich, I also got dragged along to quite a few Reggie nights,and Tamla\Soul, but I dropped the Ben Sherman's and Fred Perry's and sadly some of my friends, as I got into the Art college scene, and going from the Fox under the Hill, to The Three Tuns in Blackheath. They were all working and had money, (or so it seemed) When I did have money, I was at the Lyceum, and the Marquee to see Rory Gallagher. In those days you could see the Likes of Roxy music, and Free in Croydon as I went to art college there.

Having watched bohemian rhapsody tonight I agree on Queen. So many brilliant songs and what a performer Freddie seemed to be.Also another one I don’t think I’ve read so far on here: Michael Jackson. For all his demons his music was and always will be legendary. He was a game changer in the music industry.2

So many big name artists who paid their respects that night covering Queen songs - George Michael, David Bowie, Elton John, Guns N Roses, Rob Plant, Roger Daltry etc. If the question was "name a single gig you with you'd attended", then it would be right up there for me.1 -
Has anyone seen The Verve live, especially up to and including the Urban Hymns time? I loved that album. But they seemed to be a problematic band. I watched their Glastonbury reform headline (2008?) and you could see and feel the tension.0

Richard Ashcroft will be missed when he is gone1 -
I would’ve loved to have seen Fela Kuti.2

Again, would have loved to have seen The Clash but I saw Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros three times.0

Dying alone in a Renault 5, choking on my own vomit on a cold February night is not a way I’d like to end my days on this Earth.0 -
