Bands you wished you could have seen live, but never did.

Whether the reason was you were born the wrong year or you never got around seeing them, what bands would you have liked to have seen.

My choices.

Led Zepplin - Was only 12 when they last toured the US (1977). Got to see Plant and Page together twice.

Steve Hackett in Genesis. Saw them a few times post Hackett, but they were not the same without Hackett and Gabrieal there. My favorite version of Genesis was when they were a 4 piece band (Trick of the Tail) days.

Beatles - Who would not want to have seen the most influencial band of the modern era?

Buddy Holly - He died 5 years before I was born. He probably had more influence on rock than Elvis did.

John Bonham, Phil Lynott and Freddie Mercury all died before I was born and I would have loved to have seen any one of their bands, especially Queen.
I saw Lizzy this year admittedly but while they were great it's just not the same.
I also would have loved to have seen Pink Floyd. Maybe they'll get together agian in the future, who knows.

Most of the concerts I go to now are the ones I missed for one reason or another. I also like to take my son to those shows, as well as shows from bands I find influential. I want him to see certain bands before the oppurtunity is gone. I want to take him to Maiden, since I have never seen them myself, not sure how many US dates there are going to be though.

The Beatles for me, I have seen damn near every band I have wanted to see. I am suprised no-one said Elvis. My mom took me to see him when I was in 7th grade, granted he was all fat and near the end but I can say I saw him! A whole lot of him...lol

...Elvis Has Never Personified Rock & Roll for me...Think about it...Did he ever write anything that impressive?...he was more of a side show to me...For Me it's Definitely The Beatles/Zeppelin/& Pink Floyd...Then There is Thin Lizzy...My list isn't very big as I have been to over 200 shows through the years...

I've been to 4 shows so I could pretty much list everybody.
