i don't regret not seeing a band because mostly it's pointless (how the fuck would i make it to see, say, coltrane or james brown at the apollo or the velvet underground? a fucking time machine?). pretty much, 90% of the bands i listen to i haven't and probably will never see live.

what ^^^ said

yeah, well, obviously, i just think its a fun thing to think about, not to be taken seriously or anything.

Nirvana, in the In Utero tour.

Another thread, another chance to make endless show-off lists.

I just missed a chance to see the Boredoms... so them?

Sonic Youth when they were in Australia in 2006 (I hadn't properly discovered them at that stage).
I missed out on seeing Franz Ferdinand a few years ago because no one wanted to go with me.

Not including artists or bands that have long since broken up via dead members or general breakup:

Dirty Three
Ornette Coleman
Shellac
Keiji Haino
Melt-Banana
Mogwai

PAVEMENT !!!!

I 'm about to see Sebadoh the next month, and I'll see Jesus and Mary Chain this summer.

re Cecil Taylor

Do you know what you're talking about? What performance have you seen recently? I talking recently with Jackson Krall who drums for Cecil's big band and he was talking about how Cecil is more on than ever, how the musicians are always amazed of the stamina and inventiveness and sheer beauty this guy creates at his age. Steve Swell told me Cecil never tells them what to do, but if he doesn't like what you're doing he will give them a look that just cuts right through them and they know. Over the past couple years my friend has been putting together a doc on Cecil so I've seen hours of rehearsals and performance videos for his big band and let me tell you, and he still kills. The doc is all done, just waiting on Cecil's ok.

Pixies! Also Pavement, At the Drive-in, Bikini Kill, Guided by Voices, and Nirvana

allright well im probably wrong, scratch him off the list, allright, deal?

mudhoney, oh wait i'm seeing them june 12th. i saw fugazi so i really don't need to see anymore bands.

i think everybody here knows what three bands i would've liked to see. one starts with a b and two start with the letter m.

oh wait, rites of spring i would've loved to see live. but i don't think too often about this stuff since it would be impossible for me to see the four bands i would've loved to see because well i was 4 when the last one broke up.

rites of spring only played something like 14 shows too, so the people who got to see them better realize how lucky they are. living in d.c. in the 80s woulda been awesome. well punk rock wise, not reagan wise.

I missed seeing them too!

me too, theyre playin in my hometown of boston tomorrow night and ,y brother and two good friends (aka my band) are all goin, but i couldnt afford a plane ticket. bummed. i missed 77 boadrum too cuz my cunt of a boss wouldnt let me take the day off cuz he absolutley NEEDED me to lay down mulch on some rich fuck's lawn. if they do 88 boardum theres no way im missin it tho.
