Which band do you regret not seeing live?

[brennser]

ok, obviously most of us on the list go to a lot of gigs, but have there been bands that you really like, that for one reason or another you never saw live? They have to be bands that you could have seen (you can't say The Beatles), i.e., they played a town you were in and you were old enough to go but didn't....
 
 for me the two that most immediately spring to mind are The Housemartins and The Boo Radleys - I also really would like to see Neil Young but he always seems to play Merriweather or Nissan and I'm secretly hoping he might play 9.30 someday

by admitting to this i'm just reopening some old wounds.....
 
 but eminem at 9.30.......the other half wanted to go and i thought it would be terrible.........
 
 whoops

nirvana

stone roses on spike island......
 
 There was a bus trip from Peterborough for 45 GBP. I didnt realise it would be my only chance. Similarly I never got to see the happy Mondays either....
 
 I guess I am too young to have seen the Smiths or the Clash.
 
 I am really glad I saw Strummer the last time. We got back from a holiday that day and it was a real struggle going. We hung around and met him that night......

I could have seen Roy Orbison, but did't. Within a year, he was dead.

 Actually what does anyone see in him anymore?
 
 I possibly forgive you for making me go to see Robbie Williams. But then you made me see Jamiroquai......  :mad:

 smiths were a little before my concert attending time, happy mondays would have been a laugh, but otherwise i'm happy..........

 There's probably a ton if I thought about it long enough, but that's just too depressing.

I really do wish I had seen the late great Johnny Cash.
 
 and I feel very lucky to have seen both Nirvana & Jeff Buckley not long before their demise.
 
 Nirvana was @ Bender Arena (still there?) in the November before Cobain's death.
 
 Jeff Buckley was one of my last shows @ the old 9:30 site. I've never witnessed a crowd that enraptured with any artist. It was packed and silent.

Pixies --- great big second on that one

I'm going to boast and say that I saw Cash twice, the Pixies on the Doolittle tour, and was at the Buckley show at the old 9:30 Club. Really, I was. hahahaha
