    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.

    What's really annoying is knowing that your never going to get the chance to watch them perform again 🙁

    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.

    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

    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: "Everyone went home with the sound of U2 ringing in their ears, a sound that is sure to earn them fame and fortune." 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. 🙁

    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..

    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.
