there might be another thread to this effect, but if there is i couldn't find it. mandatory disclaimer: #firstworldproblems
everybody was talking about that last show
for a hot minute i planned on going to ozzy's retirement party. i had a flight lined up, was scoping out a ticket... but reality set in and i shitcanned the idea. i knew the ozzy/sabbath show was a now-or-never situation, so i was at peace with my decision.
there are several shows that i skipped that i really regret to this day, like not seeing james brown at the club. i forget what did instead or why i couldn't go, but it could not have been more important. huge L there.
i bailed on seeing the cure at MPP at that make-up show where they played 33 songs. that was plain dumb.
didn't go see leonard cohen on his last tour because i thought the ticket was too expensive, not that i wasn't spending as much or more on other shows at the time. yeah, i'm really glad i still have that $200 (or whatever) in my bank account...
biggest regret, and yes admitting this is grounds for revoking my canuck card, is the tragically hip. they were just always around. every time i told myself they'll be back in 12-18 months so i'll catch them next time, until there wasn't one. i did everything i could to get a ticket to their farewell tour but that was a tougher pull than floors for taylor swift.
and you?
