The Clash - could've should've didn't
Siouxsie & The Banshees - ditto
can't think of anybody else
ton - which key members were the Pistols missing? Sid was hardly "key", he couldn't play a note. I saw their filmed gig from 2007 on the telly the other week - Cook, Jones, Matlock & Lydon were all there.
psychle saw Pink Floyd at Earls Court, Brilliant and GnR at MK Bowl back in 93 they were good as well. Wished I never turned down that Queen ticket though 🙁 and would love to see Faith no More again.
Stone Roses before they got shit.
The Doors (bit young for them though 😉 )
psychle saw Pink Floyd at Earls Court, Brilliant and GnR at MK Bowl back in 93
bastwerd 🙂 I was only 16 at the time and when they came to Oz I couldn't afford a ticket 🙁
What's really annoying is knowing that your never going to get the chance to watch them perform again 🙁
Led Zep! - I got to see Paige and Jones guest with the Foo Fighters at Wembley last year, but it's not quite the same 😆
Genesis with Gabriel, Queen when Queen II came out, The Who.
Seen Floyd ( DSOM tour), Zeppelin, FNM, Souxie and the Banshees, The Clash, The Jam, Ian Dury, Thin Lizzy, Soundgarden, ZZ Top, Steely Dan, Hole, QOTSA, ELP, Television, Blondie, Björk, Killing Joke, and many, many others over the last thirty-odd years.
Pink Floyd for me every time. I would pays lots to see them. Fortunate to have seen Queen, AC/DC (back then and recently) amongst others. Queen were my lifelong highlight though - just after Live Aid at Maine Road. Amazing.
Sorry guys but I saw Pink Floyd present 'Dark Side of the Moon' at Wembley in 1972. I didn't actually like Pink Floyd though (boyfriend did).
For me, it has to be Hendrix, Cream, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Free, Neil Young.
The Ramones for me. Still haven't got to see Metallica yet though.
Nirvana at the QM or Bowie
+1 nirvana
Nirvana were shit. I iwsh I had seen Culture Shock 🙁
The Faces
The Undertones
Little PSA for Joe Bonamassa fans - FREE download available of "Merry Christmas Baby" from his website 8)
The Clash
Joy Division
Peppers
Led Zep
Floyd
Guns n Roses
Probably loads more but that's all I can think of for now.
I've seen everyone bar John Waite - who I will be seeing early next year.
After that I'm giving up going to gigs as everyone I like is getting older and shitter
Plum
Led Zep are the 1 band I wish I had seen but never did.
There are a few others I wouldn't have minded seeing if I had chance:-
Beatles... but I doubt you ever heard a thing live....
Guns & Roses,
Cream
Barclay James Harvest....
QUEEN DID ROCK !!!!!
was lucky enough to see them 5 times at differant stages of career and all were absolutely FANTASTIC
From indoor arena at New Bingley Hall Stafford though Football grounds to
KNEBWORTH PARK ....AWESOME
U2 in their very early days. In late 1981, while on tour for their second album, they played a local sports centre just 4 miles down the road from me. Local paper's arts reporter covered the gig by that little-known Irish band and wrote: [i]"Everyone went home with the sound of U2 ringing in their ears, a sound that is sure to earn them fame and fortune."[/i] I don't think anyone at the time anticipated just how much fame & fortune!! I finally got to see U2 6 years later, at Wembley ...
Nearly 10 years ago I had a ticket to see Coldplay at a local student uni (on the NME tour?) before *they* made the big time ... but on the night I was in a blue funk and left my ticket at home. 🙁
Queen and Dire Straits
already covered but
led zep
the jam
the clash
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 ****s.
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
