Spinal Tap

Chuck Berry. I'd go see him tomorrow. Yes, I know it would be awful but he's Chuck Berry.

Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix...don't think I'll ever seen them(!)

Jethro Tull. I'm seeing Ian Anderson in London in April

He was good in 2003/2004 when I saw him

The Eagles, Bob Seger, Paul Simon, The Beatles, The Ramons, Debra Harry and Blondi (Although I have seen her in the local supermarket since she lives in my neighborhood....does this count?....).....

I was lucky to be able to attend the "Live Aid" concert in Philly back in 85. I caught a lot of acts I would have most likely never seen otherwise.

Patti Smith - I cant understand why I have never seen her... I must be mad.

i'll just name a few who are still alive and touring:
jeff beck
clapton
springsteen
fleetwood mac
the eagles
U2
crosby,stills and nash

think i've seen about any other band i had on a bucketlist

No particular order...

Chuck Berry
Aretha Franklin
Tina Turner
Beth Hart
John Hammond, Jr.
J. Geils Band
Southside Johnny & The Jukes
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
Van Halen
U2
The Police
Keb' Mo'
Brian Setzer Orchestra
Tommy Shaw/Styx
Journey
Chris Daniels & The Kings
Mingo Fishtrap

I have not seen U2 or Green Day.... I suppose I should... someday... maybe.... I have pretty much seen everybody I ever wanted to, if they came close.... but the concert window is kind of closing for me.... I am not in the mood to pay several hundred dollars face value for balconey seats, to see anybody. I am addicted to being close, or I am not interested in spending my time. Back in the day I routinely, and happily, paid a couple of hundred Dollars to scalpers for front row (at least in first 10 rows) now they want hundreds of Dollars for all the seats... iphone that....

These days I am more likely just head out to a local bar and pay 5-20 bucks to see a great local(regional) band giving it its all.

While the haters will have their opinions, I can tell you that Green Day is one the The best live acts I seen in my 45 year of concert going.

Jeff Beck. David Gilmour (with or without PF) - too late for the latter, I think he's retired.

I always wanted to see Eric Clapton.

Gordon Lightfoot but that will change come November

I see lots of Tom Waits mentions. By all means, if you get any chance to see this great artist, do it!

John Fogerty

Seems every time he comes to the UK he plays London and hardly anywhere else or is half way down the bill at a festival.

This year's Hyde Park Calling being another unfortunate example.


McCartney would be another one, I guess - although its not as if he plays near where I live. I HAVE actually seen him perform live, technically - when he guested on "A Day In The Life" with Neil Young at Hyde Park 3 years ago.

John Prine.

Jimmy Cliff - most definitely a sore point as I went to the Feis at Finsbury park last June expecting to see him only to find that they'd put him onstage at about 2 pm and I'd just missed him thanks to the chaotic lack of information the promoters had provided about start times.

Red Hot Chili Peppers


I've been able to finally cross a few off the bucket list in the last few years though - Ry Cooder, Emmylou Harris, Social Distortion

Doyle Hargraves Band, talk about an Apex of Talent.

McCartney was in Antwerp yesterday and apparently he was excellent. Good reviews.
John Fogerty will be at the blues festival in Peer july 16th

I saw the American Idiot play a few months ago. After seeing it, I think I would enjoy a GD show even though I'm not a huge fan or anything.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

Turned up a week late to a Buddy Guy-Jnr Wells show back in the 70's.....
Man that one stung real bad ... miss read the date on ticket ...

Still laugh at how we thought we were so lucky to score a park out right out
front of Dallas Brooks Hall then walking to main doors and thinking we were first there ... dumb and dumber

I have heard that too, same with U2... People rave about about how great they are live... so... yup... I should probably see them live, I have seen about everyone else.

If I was to say..... one of my favorite live acts ever is Neil Young, I have seen him about 10-15 times and he never ceases to amaze me. With the exception of the Shocking Pinks tours, every time I saw him I was blown away... his range in unlike anyone elses....from his sweet "Mother Earth" to a raging "Day in life" he does it all.

I have never seen Van Morrison, but hope to correct that this summer in London when I vist friends and see Ronnie and Mick Taylor.

Pretty much have seen everyonme else I have wanted at least once.
