Was invited to see someone I'd never heard of many years ago at a gig in Oxford. Didn't go as I had a race the next day. My friend went with someone else instead. Said the band were very good, and as there were only 12 people in the audience took them all down the pub afterwards.
It was The Strokes.
Agree with ton.. The Small Faces(saw the Faces a few times)but Steve Marriott was a different class to "Rod the Mod", as good as he was with the Faces..
and Thin Lizzie..
Saw Queen before they made it big.. shite or what !
Oasis and U2 recently, wish i'd seen The Gallaghers ages ago, they were hoofing !
Come on people...obviously The Doors!
Well I'm only interested in seeing bands in smallish venues - saw FnM and the Chilis at Unis.
AC/DC with Bon, Frank Zappa and MOI - ideally in the early 70s but I was a bit little then...oh and Beefheart of course.
Led Zep and Husker Du
i'd have to agree with barry bethel here; nirvana were pretty dire live. saw them at newcastle mayfair, which wasn't tiny but was a reasonably small venue, and they played for 15 minutes, then spent 20 minutes trashing all their equipment. bunch of knobheads.
there's a few bands i'd have liked to have seen, but it's no big deal because there's plenty others around...
Saw Floyd at Earls Court in 94, don't think anything can beat that performance (even though Dave Gilmour can't sing live for toffee)
Would liked to have seen Led Zep & Cream. Oh & any big band with Buddy Rich on drums
Saw Pink Floyd at the Live Aid thing in Hyde Park a few years ago. And whilst at the time your brain's going; "OMG OMG OMG that's Floyd" and they're never going to do this again...The music left me cold, It was good, but too...like a record, too polished? dunno, It just wasn't a great live performance.
Stone Roses , I have an unused ticket for Glasgow Green in June 1990 , a friend of my missus orginised a short notice wedding before emigrating to Orkney , so I couldn't go to the gig. 
anyhoo , wish I had seen Talking Heads.
da funk
The Ramones were great.Saw them in Bristol, my pint was bouncing around on the balcony railing.
Would like to see the Rezillos but I reckon they are a bit older than in their heyday
Cant beleive nobody's mentioned the Macc Lads!
Seriously for me it's Led Zep and Motorhead.
Seen AC/DC x5, Thin Lizzy x3, ZZ Top, Iron maiden (Paul Di'anno), U2 in 1982, Kiss, Kasabian, prince x2, The cramps, the smiths x2, def leppard, bon jovi, hawkwind, the police, jethro tull, pink floyd, The firm, meteors, rainbow, Ian Gillan, The cult, Siouxsie and the banshees, Human league, Whitesnake, Meatloaf, Dio plus a few more I'm sure! Cant beleive how expensive live music is these days!!!
The Beatles when they played a local pub in Tenbury Wells!
Mott the Hoople when they played in the ballroom of a local hotel
Queen, when they played Worcester and the many top acts that used to come to the Winter Gardens in Malvern!
Saw the Macc Lads in Widnes many years ago, we were all stage diving until i found a small gap in the crowd. Concussion and temporary deafness for the next few days were to follow. Back to the point - Elvis and The Cramps for me.

Really? I saw three bands at the o2 in Oxford a couple of months ago for £9.00
Couple more: The Smiths, when they played Golddiggers in Chippenham, my home town, Roxy Music, when they played Chippenham Town Hall just when Virginia Plain was released, King Crimson, Sandy Denny. Oh, of course, the Sensational Alex Harvey Band!
talking heads
