one of our biggest regrets in life was not going to see queen play live.
For me it's Prince on either the Sign 'o The Times or Lovesexy tours.
Seen him a few times, and he is an amazing artist to see live, but having got the concert dvds of both of those tours I know that they would have been awesome.
And Marvin Gaye, 1980 Montreux Jazz festival - again, seen the dvd and he gives an incredible performance.
Was lucky enough to see George Clinton and the P Funk Allstars in New Orleans in 1998. To have seen either Parliament or Funkadelic in their prime would've been amazing too.

now had to listed to my Led Zeppelin back catalog
ahh that gives me :idea:
we have been lucky and have been avid concert goers from the 60s and clapton, hendrix. floyd days to the present with meatloaf and the current headliners,
but our one wish would be to see Elvis .....
I posted this on another thread some time ago, but I'll bore you with it again
The band I most regret missing is The Clash though I did go to a Clash gig 1n '77 - The White Riot tour- as a 13 year old boy. Just as they came on stage I was hit on the back of the head by a bottle and the next thing I knew I was sitting in the pub kitchen with an ice pack on my head and could hear brief muffled clips of Joe Strummer whenever anyone opened the kitchen door. Never got the chance to see them again until they went downhill.
I love a good gig the bigger the better and have seen a few in my time from Queen, santana, springstean, Tina turner, Robbie I don't need to like the band to see them live now but I did years ago, so I passed on Zepplin, Micheal Jackson, Rolling stones, now I wished I just went instead of turning up my nose when others I know went.
If you were not at The Albert Hall on monday then YOU missed Joe Bonamassa. shame on you.
As for ones missed, then has to be Led Zeppelin
In answer to the postings re Thin Lizzy - seen them several times, done 2 back stage parties with the boys (brill, hic, inc once at Belle Vue with Geldof and Fingers from the Rats) and when watching Sky Arts the other week when they had a Lizzie concert on was spotted in the crowd.
Pink Floyd, twice, plus last year (2008) Roger Waters Dark Side tour.
Missed Fleetwood Mac, however cloest nowadays is Rumours of Fleetwood Mac - ace tribute band and v v close to originals.
Speaking of Fleetwood Mac, early 80's did the Santana UK Tour, consisting of 6 night's at the Royal Albert Hall. 2nd encore was with a certain Mr Green guesting on guitar - brilliant.
Loads more, just where did my youth go ........
