Led Zeppelin

Came here to say this . I just missed them . I was 12 when Bonham died.

That concert they did in 2007 at the O2 was fucking incredible. Genuinely the best reunion concert of a band I’ve ever seen. And I’ve only watched and listened to the recordings. Being there must have been something else.

Stevie Ray Vaughan

He was an absolute beast of a Blues player. I got to see him twice.

Beastie Boys

Saw then on the licensed to ill tour and they were amazing.

Prince

You never saw him? Why not?

Just never had the opportunity to

Queen! I thought for sure this would be here already

This is mine as well.

I saw them in 81. They sound as good live as on the albums

Frank Zappa

Nina. Simone.

Fleetwood Mac would have been amazing back in the day.

Yes they were. BEST concert EVER

Nirvana, AIC, Led Zeppelin

Nirvana 100% Even on a trainwreck night like the Hollywood Rock festival in South America.

Just to see that trio (or squad if you include pat smear) would be amazing 

Always regret not seeing nirvana. I saw AIC but Layne was all fucked up and they were basically booed offstage. It was before dirt came out though so I’m sure they would have been better later. 

Rage Against the Machine

Jerry Garcia

Oh, I have a list that I can’t narrow down to just one: David Bowie, Motörhead, Kyuss, The Cramps, New York Dolls, Velvet Underground…

I wish I had seen Kyuss live.

In the desert... 8 grams of mushrooms, a pack of reds and a case of beer. Woulda been fun

Hell yeah, Kyuss. I’ve seen QOTSA and Them Crooked Vultures though.

I wish I would have been able to see Tom Petty. 😕

I was able to go see him at Bluesfest a few months before he passed. I couldn't get very close but it was pretty awesome

Stood in the first few rows in a small auditorium way back in ‘82 as they were preparing for a big tour, so good. Saw the Ramones, Eddie Money, and Stevie Ray Vaughan there at other times. All gone now.

Had tickets to see him with Lenny Kravitz as the opener. Show was cancelled for lack of ticket sales (Ottawa Canada)

Oh, that sucks!! 😕

Hard to name just one. But if you'll allow, I'd like to have Frank Sinatra open. Followed by Bob Marley, and then end the night with early 70's Led Zeppelin.

That would be an eclectic concert

Oingo Boingo, specifically one of their Halloween concerts. XTC, specifically when they premiered Senses Working Overtime. Brian Wilson performing SMiLE live with a full orchestra in the early 2000s. They're still super active as a band, and I've seen a few of their recent concerts and was very impressed, but I would have loved to have seen They Might Be Giants in their earliest years when they were just two guys and a drum machine performing in underground Brooklyn clubs. Swoon.

I'm 100% with you on XTC and that song premier.

OH! I went to an Oingo Boingo concert in Miami during the Dead Man's Party tour! (I was obsessed with that album) Although...I was already a LONG TIME FAN since the album Nothing To Fear.. XTC- I really think I saw them too!? I feel like they opened for another band in Seattle back in the day... I distinctly remember watching them perform 'Making Plans For Nigel'.

Bob Marley

Sam Cooke

The Allman Brothers Band, when Duane Allman was still alive

Pink Floyd, i did get to see Hendrix though.

Bowie

I saw Bowie half a dozen times (and once with Tin Machine). Always an incredible show. I will never be OK with him being gone.

Talking Heads is a great answer, I think I’ll say that too. 

Never got to see Tom Petty. Pity.

He would have liked to see you, too.

Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday

Chris Cornell

SRV and Tom Waits

I was fortunate to see SRV in 1988. Blistering set!

Jimi Hendrix

Soundgarden and Nirvana probably

Ronnie James Dio

Zeppelin

Queen while Freddie Mercury was still alive

Ozzy. Solo or with Sabbath.

The Beatles

The Cure. Not that it can’t happen but I’m not sure how much longer they’ll be doing tours.

The Cure was my first concert. I want to say either '96 or '97.

I saw The Cure in concert about a year ago, they did an amazing, extended outdo of A Forest, it absolutely blew me away.

Otis Redding

This was my second choice.

Journey

Can

Can would have been amazing. Especially with Damo

Zeppelin

Zeppelin or stevie ray vaughan

Bonn Scott era AC/DC

Layne Staley, AiC

Early-mid ‘70s Sabbath

The Beatles or Pink Floyd

Sublime (with Bradley)

Ramones Big Star Thin Lizzy

Radiohead. Unfortunately we’re probably a couple years away from LP10 at this rate 

Bob Marley or The Beatles

Queen

John Denver

Blind Melon, Alice in Chains, Chris Cornell.

The Beatles

Alice In Chains in Stayley’s prime

Pink Floyd

Bolt Thrower

The Ramones  The Mick Jagger tour where he had Joe Satriani in his touring band Allman Bros with Duane Derek and The Dominos, Cream Natalie Merchant when Jennifer Turner was her guitarist Edit: dire straits, the police…the list can go on and on.

The Beatles

Soundgarden Pink Floyd Hendrix Dead Kennedys Paw Stompbox The Cramps

Bowie, for sure

Led Zeppelin

Jeff Buckley and I second Talking Heads.

Led Zeppelin

Zeppelin

Linkin Park. I did see them once back in 2015, but I was just at Rockville a couple of weekends ago and was thinking how amazing it would have been if they were there. I miss Chester.

Nick Drake

Michael Jackson 👑

Layne Staley of AIC

Gorillaz any time they played full albums or did big collab shows with their featured guests. My god to see Demon Days played in full..

George Michael

Rush

Joni Mitchell. And sort of Fiona Apple (but that could still happen... so... let's just pray). They are both still alive but don't do concerts like they used to.

Faith no more

Captain beefheart!

Amy Winehouse. There was a point in the early 2000's where it really looked like she was the next jazz diva. Such an incredible talent.

Peak Scott Weiland.

Alice In Chains with Lane Staley

Foo fighters, Soad and aic

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers I had my chances, but he was expensive even back in the 90s and I was particularly poor. 

The Beatles August 15 1965

The Doors. Live they could be a little hit or miss, but the chance to hear them live and intact would be special. My other dream concert was fulfilled last year when I saw The Zombies. Never thought I’d see them in 2023

Zappa.

Pantera, Death, Linkin Park, and Pink Floyd

Beatles

Queen with Freddie

Portishead.

Led zeppelin. I just saw Jason Bonham led zeppelin experience opening for Billy Joel in Seattle. It was great. 40 minutes and then whole lotta love on Billy Joel’s set. ( which was awesome as well. 2.5 hours and he sounds great!) The real thing in a large venue would have been a once in a lifetime experience

Love & Rockets

Radiohead

Motörhead and Focus in the early 70s.

Queen!

Killing Joke when Geordie was still alive 😔

For reference, I graduated high school in 1991. I've gone to a lot of concerts and seen almost every band I've wanted to. The one band I feel like I missed out on seeing live at their peek would be Jane's Addiction. Seeing them slightly before or right after Ritual came out I believe would have been one of the best shows I would have ever seen.

I had tickets to Gordon lightfoot but had to cancel at the last minute. Still regret to this day

Bon Scott

Kate Bush and Danielle Dax. Still praying Kate has one last change of heart about touring.

layne staley or kurt cobain

Chester Bennington

Nirvana

Wish I could've seen Yes in the 70's but I wasn't alive:(

George Harrison

Soundgarden, RIP Chris Cornell

Toots & The Maytals. I had a chance, years ago, and didn’t take it… I will never forgive myself.

The Cure

The Smiths. I highly doubt they ever reunite

Architects I love all their albums and pretty much all the songs. rare that I feel this way about a band

Harry Nilsson

There are only a handful I never got to see. Biggest regret would probably be Dire Straits.

Prince. I was too young and stupid to realize it when I had the chance.

Robert Plant

SELENA

Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix 

Soundgarden 🖤💔

Alice In Chains Layne Staley or Linkin Park Chester

Led Zeppelin, missed them just by a couple of years,

This is very difficult as to name just one. 😣 Being that I'm an eclectic music lover. I have a list of artists I never got to see live. 😢🥀 Top 3 Male singers: George Michael, David Bowie & Luther Vandross. * My fave male singer I saw live was Prince with Sheila E. 🔥 Top 3 Female singers: Nina Simone, Janis Joplin & Amy Winehouse. * My fave female singer was Sade, and I saw her numerous times. 🥰 Top 3 bands: The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Type O Negative. * And finally, fave band: System of a Down. 🔥💯👍🏾

Rammstein

Alice in Chains with Layne

nirvana, pavement, talking heads, f(x), ot5 shinee, elliott smith

Queen Or George strait Or blue October.

Billie Eilish Ariana Grande Rihanna SZA Bruno Mars Chris Brown I would have loved to see Michael Jackson Whitney Houston Amy Winehouse Aaliyah

Queen with Freddie Mercury. Full stop. No question.

Ugh. It’s a tie between George Michael and Queen

The Beastie Boys

Amy Winehouse

Kate Bush! The icon of prog and art rock has hardly performed live throughout her illustrious career! Madonna performed live before more people at one show than 34 years of Kate’s career combined

Tom Waits

Nirvana

Oasis at their peak

Pink Floyd
