    Because I had to put up with being told I'd missed a treat for about 3 years afterwards! It's imprinted on my brain.

    It would have been nice to have seen The Who at Charlton but I was even keener on playing cricket at the time and in life choices sometimes have to be made.

    Agree on Frank Zappa. I did see Frank Zappa's son Dweezil in concert earlier this year - "Zappa plays Zappa" - and it was AWESOME!

    Queen.

    I had a ticket to see them at Earls Court on Jubilee night in 1977 but pulled some bird and let my cock get the better of me. I never saw the bird again and forgotten what the shag was like but I bet I would remember Queens finest hour.

    What a mug!

    I saw them twice and there was no other band like them.

    There was a tour in the late 60's comprising Syd Barret-era Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and my favourites of the 60's The Move. I was about seven when it went out, plus it was about the time I was in Australia. So, probably that chance has gone, together sadly with a number of the main figures involved. To be honest, amazing as that bill sounds, I wouldn't swap that for some of the old punk sunday nights at the lyceum or Ian Dury at Blackheath about a year before he died - great stuff.

    (haven't read the rest of the thread so apologies before hand)

    I would have loved to see the rolling stones before they started charging 60 quid a ticket and sleeping with Russian teenagers

    (more precisely the Exile On Main Street Tour - quite possibly the best album ever made EVER)

    joy division, ian dury and joe strummer, had tickets to a gig of his the week before he died but stayed in the pub instead thinking we'd catch him the next time he played!

    Ken, Forgot about Nick Drake......

    Nick Drake, is the quintessential English folk singer, also a tragic romantic obsessive.

    I could have citied many others , but so few people saw Nick play, no video, and no official live concerts. A tragic figure. I saw so many bands that these were the main ones I missed out on.

    Unoriginal I know but it's Hendrix, Led Zep and Pink Floyd.


    I also managed to catch a couple of bands before they made it big but missed so many, particularly at the Marquee where I was a regular in the mid-seveties. If there are any other old Marquee goers here, this is a good link to find out who you saw and who you missed, plus some interesting support bands!

    Hi Bangkokaddick I went to the Marquee on several occassions but was not a regular, the Lyceum was my favourite and places in Croydon when I was at Art college.
    Loved live music, and the 'occassion' of being there.great choices as well....

    For all my sons current clubbing, they have missed out on live bands and festivals, like Reading, IOW, and Hyde Park, I used to love those free concerts........
