Concert you regret missing most?

[hutch]

I don’t know what I was “thinking” when I missed the Leonard Cohen concert at Merriweather....


I wish I had a good excuse like it was during my serious addiction to smack


Very embarrassing

[WALKonBack]

I had tickets, to Ween at Pier 6, and I told every,one I was going.  Then I didn't go, because I was lazy that day.

More, than likely, I will never get the chance to see Ween again.

Prince
Joe strummer show at the 930
Bowie when he played G.Mason
Heliung

More, than likely, I will never get the chance to see Ween again.

well they have played about 30 shows since them, so it's not like they aren't touring
they hate DC for some reason, but they will probably play a show in Phil/balt in the next year
you were missed tho...fun show, hutch even got me claude's drumstick!

i waffled on seeing james brown at the club.  i could have gone but thought the ticket was a little too expensive and that he'd be back soon anyways... ask me how that turned out.

[Yada]

Prince.

Hutch, tell us more about your smack habit.

[hutch]

What I am saying is I wish I could blame it on a smack habit...

I guess maybe he came through town when I was obsessed with other music otherwise it’s hard for me to understand why I blew it off....I have really been into Cohen since around 94 and his tour was a big deal


Maybe I cheapened out...it was expensive

Maybe I thought he was too old?


Serious error in judgment

Great topic. Daft Punk is up there. Cranberries too (but that’s more about my musical tastes at 12 and Delores O’Riordan passing). John Adams with the NSO.

[sweetcell]

+1 on the cranberries.  that voice, tho...

Prince.

agreed (as in, definitely belongs in this thread if you didn't see him.  i was lucky enough to have caught him twice).

Queen at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

So I was only 13 and wasn't allowed to go to concerts at that point, but i had classmates who went.

7500 people in attendance and the box office was only 67K.

The artist that kills me the most is Jeff Buckley. Unforgivable.

Nirvana in the fall of 91 at the old 930 kinda sux too. Had been a big fan of Bleach but never saw them. That was my best and last shot to catch them.

December 1994 or May 1995? I was at one of them (Nightclub 9:30), pretty sure it was '94.

[challenged]

I didn't go to many concerts between 1988-1991 (law school) and then between 1991 and 2000 while the kids were little, and then maybe I went to a few a year from 2000-2006. So, I basically missed everything important. Catching up for that with the last 6 or 7 years, where I have probably gone to close to 400 shows.

Anyway:

Last year, I had a ticket for Idles, but logistics got complicated and I couldnt go.
I would have liked to see Tom Petty's last Baltimore show, but there was a miscommunication.
The Tibetan Freedom Concert at RFK thing & Radiohead at the Club.
That last Foo Fighters thing at the Club. I had ffigured out that it was a free foo show and meant to get a ticket when I was downtown that day to go to a show at BlackCat and just forgot to go to the club to get a ticket.
The Beck thing where he played Lincoln Theatre and was mostly acoustic?
That last DC The Hold Steady show at U Hall.
