The Beatles
 
 ....and yes, I can say it.
 
 Tons and tons of other shows I would have loved to have seen but missed out on for so many reasons. I'm just happy that I've had the good fortune to see all that I have seen.

Yes, the Happy Mondays, just to see Bez dancing.  Would imagine many of their shows sucked too.
 
 PiL with Jah Wobble and Keith Levine.  Without them it was the Johnny Lydon road show.
 
 Johnny Cash.  That would have been great.
 
 Verve (pre "The" in their name).  Never saw either version, but the earlier reverb soaked one would have been great.
 
 Others that I was too young for would fill a notebook so best to stop here.

Fuck off, sonny boy! Or I'll ground you like Kosmo grounded Flawd.  :D  
 
 I was only a little kid but I remember being very jealous the night my best friend came home after seeing The Beatles play in Baltimore only nights after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show.

Husker Du @ the old club.  A few of my friends went, but I decided to stay at college an extra day and missed it.  Big mistake. Probably my biggest non-concert-going regret.
 
 Dead Kennedys @ WUST
 Talking Heads @ Merriweather
 Minor Threat
 The Clash - (I saw the "Cut the Crap" version of the band, but that doesn't count)

I've seen them....twice, Sonny Boy. Once before Dark Side Of The Moon and another time when DSOTM was just released and years before the burn outs got into them. Both times were at the Lyric Theatre in Baltimore. Great shows!

I had a ticket to see them in 1988 in Toronto, didnt feel like going at the last minute so my dad sold our tickets.   He hates me for it too now, cause HE'S never seen them either now, whoops.

my dad is the coolest ever. The first show he took me too was Aerosmith and Guns N Roses in 1988 (i was 11) and he took turns putting me and my friend on his shoulders for the WHOLE show.
 
   he also took me to see Bon Jovi, Poison, Metallica, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, etc.......
 
   ok, so i liked bad music in the 80s, haha.
