I heard on the radio yesterday that The Police are reforming and touring again. Being of a certain age they were the first band I ever really liked. I've never been one for going to concerts but it has always been a bit of a disappointment to me that I never saw them live.
Which bands/performers would you like to see that are no longer performing?

Blur- although once the new album comes out i'm sure they will be touring
The Who- The original line up, a bit difficult to pull off that!
The Rollingstones- The original line up
The Rat Pack

Only one- Queen, with Freddie :cry:
Same here :cry: Got the chance to see them with wotsisface a couple of years ago but I couldn't bring myself to see them without Freddie.
Queen with Paul Rogers
I saw them at Hyde Park a couple of years ago, was a good concert, support acts were Razorlight and Peter Kay, and it was held shortly after the July 7th bombings, and all the people from the emergency services who attended the incidents were given a free ticket to the concert by Queen
That, and the music, made for quite an emotional atmosphere, there was many grown people crying, was quite a moment
I would love to have seen The Who.... loved their early stuff!! Nirvarna, yeahhhh oh so many concerts I wished I could have gone to!!
Ive only ever been to one and that was last year.. UB40, not my most fav band but they played a brilliant intro piece and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Must get out more.....

Nirvana!
yupyup... have to agree there Kiss...
had an opportunity too,though was too *out of it* to get my act together in those days:doh:
I was lucky enough to see Queen when I was about 16.. brilliant show
and Thin Lizzy was mentioned also... caught them, just in time too... fantastic... even though it was in Coventry I believe :shock:
Pink Floyd.... wanted desperately to catch the Wall tour... no joy, but a few years later... Wembley Stadium... fantastic!
There's a NIN tour impending... I'm wondering whether to get in on that... before it becomes a *missed opportunity*

Wham!!! 
Only kidding.... Adam and the Ants, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club, Duran Duran, nearly all of the 80's I guess. Most didn't really split they've just got older and don't play so much. Europe is playing in Newcastle shortly, that should be good
Does any one wish we could turn back time 20 years?
Oh and what ever happened to Tight Fit? haha

: :?: :?: now that was morrrre than annoying to have missed them.... *dazed & confused* 
They all keep reforming and playing the retro circuit so I have managed to see most of the bands I missed first time around fairly recently-ish - Human League, John Foxx, Bauhaus, The Cure, Soft Cell on thier reunion tour thingy (though I've seen Marc live solo several million times), even Sisters of Mercy... but of the bands I really want to see again who I haven't seen since thier heyday I would say The Cramps, who I adore.
Would I want to turn the clock back though? Not really - all these people are still going and thier age is really no issue, so long as they remain irresponsible
