Bob Marley &amp; the Wailers. Without a doubt.

Jose_Reyes · Answer

I saw Alice in Chains with their new singer last spring. I swear that they had Layne's voice dubbed. I was in the first row. At one point no one on stage was moving their lips. Yet someone's voice was coming through.

Rage Against the Machine for me. I heard rumors of them touring again with Zach....

Jimmag · Answer

You will want to kick me for this (but, not as much as I want to kick myself) Pink Floyd- they were around a couple of times. I had a group of friends that went to see The Wall when that tour first came around. They did not have enough tickets for me and another friend. Ya right, friends?

Led Zeppelin- there was a very small window and I missed it.

Pearl Jam- by the time they started touring my concert going slowed way down.

SurfApe · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A ton of other roots reggae guys from that era as well.  Obviously jimi, would have loved to have seen dylan in the early years at some rundown shithole in greenwich village, i was fortunate enough to see the grateful dead before jerry died, whoever said nirvana, that was a good one that really stings because i actually had the chance to see them and didn&#x27;t.  For the guy who said rage, I saw them play with the fucking wu tang clan.  Holy SHIT!!!!

I had to go just because of the pairing of the bands.As for who I missed and wished I&#x27;d seen; it&#x27;s gotta be Zeppelin at this performance... holy shitness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T12wRBAhcTY&amp;feature=related

dennishopson · Answer

The Clash,

Led Zeppelin,

Pearl Jam,

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

-shocked I never saw Peter Gabriel

-also shocked that I never saw Joe Walsh while he was still kicking ass up till around 1982-ish

Zeppelin is the only one that I can't fault myself for not seeing, since I never noticed any opportunity I can recall. 46 years old now, so I was 16 in 1980, and by then, I can't recall too many chances to see them.

Oh shit, here's an obvious one.

The Who

, and I'll throw in not seeing Pete Townshend as a solo act as well....

I've seen him a couple times, but to the guys my age, I'll speak for you guys and mention that if you did not see Todd Rundgren, you missed out.

Oh, and I can't believe this either, but I never saw Springsteen. I'll have another shot at that one though I'm pretty sure.

dennishopson · Answer

Stone Temple Pilots......although I might get to see something or some kind of a Scott Weiland incarnation another time..

I can certainly think about STP getting all together for a semi decent cash n grab small tour in the future.

Dutch1976 · Answer

I kept putting off seeing The White Stripes. And now I hear they&#x27;ve broken up for good. Although I see a reunion tour happening in 8 yrs or so.

Anent · Answer

I had tickets to see David Bowie back in the early nineties, but had to take an exam and never went.  But later I didn&#x27;t study for finals to go see Oingo Boingo.So it balanced out.

Anent · Answer

Nirvana show I saw in December of &#x27;03 was fairly average, but I&#x27;m glad I saw &#x27;em.The White Stripes will definitely be doing a big event reunion!

picc818 · Answer

Led ZeppelinQueenRage Against the Machine

Runnin Mitch · Answer

Besides ones mentioned before I pick Albert King.,,Buffalo Springfield as well as
The James Gang ( With Joe Walsh) They played the Beacon in NYC 2 or 3 yrs ago ,but I missed them to see the Allman Bros the following week.
I saw Nirvana in Springfield MA 1993 one week after the Unplugged show and they were quite good.

Biscuiteater1 · Answer

Once upon a time i had my choice the Dead or Zep, i chose the Dead and no doubt made the right choice, but man i&#x27;d like to have seen those guys. We are talking Zeps 2nd trip to the states. Oh well, Zep is a great band, the Dead are a state of mind.LOL. But i would saw my finger off to have seen Jimi at his best.Would have to have been 3hrs though. LOL

lords of acid

Killer_B · Answer

The future is now DH. They are back together and touring for over a year. Released a cd 6 months ago or so (not very good actually). They have one more record left on current deal with their label. Funny I&#x27;m listening to them while I read your post.How long did your coma last?

dennishopson · Answer

Stone Temple Pilots played here in fucking Vegas last Friday Night at the Palms.  I just noticed the advertisement in Vegas&#x27; big weekly entertainment mag they put out. Was on a date, but had I known, I would have at least changed night of date. I have priorities, and a date in Vegas is like having a single chees everything at any Wendys...An any day happening whenever you want.Grrr....Can&#x27;t believe I wasn&#x27;t paying attention to the show magazine. 9 days after I posted wanting to see them, and they play at a Casino on the same street I live on....dumbass! Just realized this now @  2:30am Sunday Night (mon morning depending on how ya look at things  )

djspurlz · Answer

I never got a chance to see - &#xD;&#xA;The Smiths - that would be my all time band to see.&#xD;&#xA;I regret not seeing - &#xD;&#xA;Depeche Mode Violator tour and before ( I finally saw them on the Exciter tour - but not the same.)&#xD;&#xA;I am a huge fan of the Cure- but I have unforn. never seen them live.&#xD;&#xA;I also had several chances to see the Ramones - unforn. never saw them.&#xD;&#xA;I also wish I could have seen Ministry pre 1991 on any tour and also Front Line Assembly ( any tour ).

Bands you missed you wish had seen.......
