GREAT THREAD
My choices JImi Hendrix Experience in England just after ARE YOU EXPERIENCED came out. Bob marley and the Wailers, when it was still the full complement of Wailers. The Doors just after their second album came out. The Misfits circa 1981 The Beatles playing on the rooftop |

Ditto on these for me, as well, but I would also say I'd see Sonic Youth at any point in their career, from start to present day. I'd also add the Stones during their Mick Taylor period, 1969 to 1973. Patti Smith circa 1975-77. Ramones circa 1975-77. Pixies whenever. Television 1975-1979. The Clash 1976-1979. Nirvana. Melvins. My Bloody Valentine. (!!) There must be more. |
My earlier list was a wish list of impossibility, as I wasn't alive when the shows would have happened. So, a short second list, of bands I wish I'd seen when I had the chance:
Sisters of Mercy in 1985 (it was the day before one of my English A-levels) Bauhaus in 1984 Sonic Youth on Brighton Beach in 1985 (I was too scared to go on my own) High Rise |
Elliott Smith
The Smashing Pumpkins Nirvana Hole Bikini Kill The Breeders ive prety much seen all the bands that i like that are still around. twice. |
Nirvana
Pink Floyd-Wish you were here era Queen-Any date Black Sabbath-Vol 4 era Radiohead-Ok computer era Free-any |
Porkie...
Who exactly is "Karen Coltrane"? Do you mean Alice Coltrane, piano player, and John Coltrane's widow? |

Brainiac
Don Cab (What Burns Never Returns Line-Up) Sweep the Leg Johnny Big Black Drive Like Jehu Jesus Lizard I just named 6. I'm sure that could change. |
7 sorry
Alice in chains L7 Misfits (with Danzig) Nirvana Pixies * Sonic Youth * Stone Temple Pilots (Core or Tiny Music tour) *Still possibilities to catch them live. Very unlikely though :( |
Sly and Family Stone (69 -71)
My Bloody Valentine (89) Janes Addiction (89 -91) Mercury Rev (When they had Dave singing) Leftfield (The gig at Brixton where they shook lumps of the roof free) |
Fushitsusha are still going, or at least may have a probable relinquishing of their hiatus. I am blind hope.
I'm seconding Les Rallizes Denudes. The Shaggs The Monks 2nd-wave AMM Derek Bailey Throbbing Gristle. |
Ramones at CBGB's in the 1970's
Nirvana, club show just before "Nevermind" was put out. Faith No More "AngelDust" tour, prefferably not the Metallica/Guns N' Roses/Faith No More tour, way too big. The Clash-Pretty much whenever Refused Oh almost forgot, Dead Kennedys |
Black Flag (to see what early hardcore punk shows were like)
Velvet Underground (WL/WH era) Mission of Burma (for curiousity sake) Sonic Youth early Pixies shows |
I think it's safe to say Jesus Lizard and MBV are two of the most missed bands ever.

I'm just saying that if I caught them in that in-between phase, with the raw Animals tracks, still two years away, plus Wish You Were Here, songs from Dark Side and an "Echoes" encore, it would've rocked my socks. That is all... |
