Dang, DaveG.
Very, very, impressive.
Proud to say I was at at lease two of the same ones you were at
(also, may have asked at the Lisa show, but where did you see Jimi & The Beatles? Seattle?? Sicks Stadium for Jimi by chance?
Great list.

Hey Mike, the Lisa show was lots of fun, especially when she reached down and put her hand on each of us during a song! I’m sure her flirtatiousness was genuine!
I saw The Beatles at Dodger Stadium, August 1966.
As for Jimi, I saw him at Newport ‘69, a 3-day festival in June of 1969, Devonshire Downs, Northridge, California. In fact, the performance I saw is on YouTube and was filmed from right near where I was standing. It was a jam, with Buddy Miles and others.
Hope you’re doing well!

Regrets? Never saw Hendrix, Bowie, or any of the Beatles. (Except a glimpse of them at the Indiana State Fair 1964). Wish I'd seen Michael Bloomfield.

Dave your list is extremely impressive & the only one to feature The Beatles, The Stones, Led Zep, The Kinks & Hendrix. (that's 4 of my top 6 favorites all-time) You're so lucky!
I did notice that the following bands were absent: The Who, Yes, The Doors, Rush, Van Halen etc. If you don't mind me asking, did none of those bands appeal to you or just not appeal enough to go see them and/or other reasons?
(3hrs.45min.) Jimi Hendrix- GYPSY SUN & RAINBOWS - Woodstock Festival rehearsals

well I can tell you, based on your list, I used to see Cake at the Press Club and Old Ironsides on the regular back in the 80s when they were a local band of some renown. And a lot of other Sacramento bands who went on to some level of international success.
Then there was the whole punk rock scene at the Mabuhay Gardens in SF, right across the street from my one time home, the Stone. Some of my friends and my main weed dealer lived in the Vats, an old squat that was home to many of the local musicians in the day.
I been actively listening to music and attending live events, major and minor, for fifty years so I cannot even begin to make lists. I never got into the stadium rock thing so the vast majority have been small major venues or semi dive bar situations, and I have been mostly listening to reggae music since the late seventies so thats a whole other world.
The one I regret most never seeing has to be the Beatles. Would have loved to be at their last show at Candlestick Park, and it was a near possibility but didn't happen.
