There are some artists I missed to see playing live without a chance to say "perhaps next time" - they are gone (rip)
Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Calvin Russell, Rory Gallagher ...
Missed them, because: too young, lack of time, money, information (the internet is not soo old and avaiable for people as a source of info as it now) or other reasons ...
Which ones are yours "too late now" ?
-
Jeff Buckley, Nirvana, The Smiths, Joy Division, Elliott Smith, dEUS with Stef Kamil Carlens, Mano Negra, The Triffids, Husker Du
-
Queen (the only line up), Lizzy (although I love Ricky, I'd love to have seen Phil), Metallica with Cliff, DC with Bon, The Doors, Jimi, The Who with the Ox & Moon, plenty more I've forgotten temporarily...
-
the clash and johnny cash :'(
-
The Clash, Joy Division, The Smiths, Sex Pistols (at the time, I don't care about the recent years rip-off reunions), The Sisters of Mercy with Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams (or previous line-ups) and plenty more, mainly due to me being too young and/or living in the wrong country at the time...
-
NMA with Stuart :)
The Jam
The Clash
Southern Death Cult/Death Cult
Getting the Fear
Queen
The Who
Specials with Jerry Dammers
Undertones with Feargal Sharkey
Nirvana
-
Great topic!
Nirvana (for obvious reasons :'()
16 Horsepower (because I discovered them just after they quit, dammit)
The Who (because 60 Deutschmark was too much for me back then :P)
Raw Melody Men (because back in 1992 secret gigs were indeed secret ;))
-
Bon Scott and the Vengeance era line up...............

The MISFITS in 81 or 82!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before they reformed basically.....

Marillion with Fish (odd one, I know!!)
Not odd at all - great band!
Unfortunately, I started listening to them around Clutching at Straws after which Fish left.
BUT: I once saw Fish without Marillion :P ;D which was great as well :)
-
I met Marillion on their He Knows You Know Tour....... Then missed the bloody gig that night....... Lift let me down..... :'( I've been a fan of the Fish era stuff from the Market Square Heroes on wards. Still got all my vinyl/picture discs. Bought the double disc editions of the records on cd years ago aswell.......
-
Country Joe & the Fish - Woodstock (love it)
I wasn`t old enough to be there
-
I'm just here to say I saw Rory Gallagher live and make some people jealous.
it's not too late for Leonard Cohen, he plays this week-end in Paris but 100 euros is way too much...
-
To mention Gallagher live - that`s not fair >:(
Just back from a funeral ceremony (he was 86, but unexpected) ..., that kind of 5 hours can be endless, longer than 10 hours working
One member of my "want to see live, before it`s too late"- list is Roy Harper - but he doesn`t play outside UK these days (when was his last gig not only for the "Inselaffen"?)
-
I was lucky to see Rory Gallagher play in the 1980s twice :)But i would love have seen in the 1960s Hendrix ,the stones, Cream,Janis joplin,In the 70sBob marley Bad Company,SAHB,Led Zep. But i been lucky to see some Ace Bands and hope to keep gigin 8)

"GIVE ME AN F!" ;D ;D ;D
-
The Smiths
Joy Division
The Clash
And here's another vote for Marillion with Fish... I love a bit of the old synth-y rock! Yeah, I know some of it makes old-school Genesis look like The Buzzcocks, but check out HEART OF LOTHIAN, WARM WET CIRCLES/THAT TIME OF THE NIGHT, WHITE RUSSIAN or CHILDHOODS END... thats good stuff right there. Great lyrics and great musicianship!
-
The Smiths, Faith No More on the Real Thing tour, Southern Death Cult, Nightwish with Tarja, The Cure back in the day, Sisters with Wayne, Gary and Craig...and that's about it. Mainly spurned opportunities...
-
Bob Marley, The Smiths, Johnny Cash (especially his later years).
Coletrane, Mingus, Davis, Coleman, Sun Ra
to name a few.

..
dubious claims to fame no 57.. Rory Gallagher got me a beer & sandwich once.. I was working one of his gigs (just shifting gear at a local venue). The gig was on a sunday (and so doors were earlier) and the security were late - so i was volunteered to sit outside the dressing room in an empty corridor until security turned up. Rory was came out to see if I wanted a beer and sandwich whilst I was on duty - seemed a top bloke!
i saw Nirvana a few times - but never in the small venues - not sure why as I was going to a lot of gigs round then - the gigs probably clashed with a gig by Ghost Dance or Crazyhead or some other band that time has been less kind to!
The gig I regret missing the most was Stone Roses in the Maze bar in sheffield (about 150 capacity) - i knew the girl putting on the gig and I was on the guest list - but ended up staying in the pub.. doh!
-
... Nina Simone, Queen, Led (I saw Page & Plant, at least!), Metallica with Cliff, Ray Charles, Hendrix, NMA (with Robert Heaton, of course), Floyd (with Roger Waters), Dio... :'(
-
The Ruts, Dead Kennedys, early Clash
-
Iron Maiden's World Slavery Tour! Also, Yes' Close to the Edge Tour.
-
The Doors
Hendrix
Generation-X (early line up)
Nirvana
Most of all, The Sex Pistols,, although, Lydon did finish a PIL set I saw with EMI, the place went mad.

I remember you getting his towell when he chucked it into the crowd. Great gig.
-
Gillan with Bernie Torme', saw em with Janik Gers a few times tho'.....
I'd go with that choice ! Mr Universe is still one of my favourite albums. I did see Bernie and John McCoy playing together with another couple of guys some years back at a benefit gig for ex Maiden drummer Clive Burr, at The Ruskin Arms in east London. That was pretty cool to see, and loud too since it was just a pub, and I was stood right next to the speakers !
Top of my list without any shadow of doubt would be Jimi, no question. I'd also go for 1970s Queen, early 70s Black Sabbath, Motorhead with Eddie Clarke and Philthy, early Sisters and Fields of The Nephilim

BLACK FLAG (before Rollins)
CRASS
HAWKWIND (back in the early 70's)

I love the Nervous Breakdown ep, but the Rollins stuff doesn't float my boat. Dunno quite why.... I have to admit not being a fan of CRASS either........ :-X
But stuff like CRUCIFIX and FINAL CONFLICT, Christ On Parade, Amebix and Anti-Sect were all class in that vein. ;)

I'm a big fan of ROLLINS, but I prefer the BLACK FLAG records before he joined. As for Anarcho Punk, well that's my era. I spent the early 80's being one of those "passing stranger's dressed in black". ANTISECT were awesome, nice to see them back together, whilst I'm not really one for nostalgia tours. It's good when these bands release new stuff. Have you heard the AMEBIX album from last year Stoney?
That CRUCIFIX album has got to be one of the best releases put out by CRASS, blew me away when I heard it... 8)
-
Yeah the Anti-Sect In darkness lp is class, new Amebix is pretty solid aswell. Not sure the popsturing over booking the cancelling the Rebellion gig was a good move tho'. Seemed pointless, everyone knows the crack there so don't book the gig if it bothers you. Folks were coming from Japan n stuff to see em. Seemed out of order to me....
I like ROLLINS solo stuff, just can't get away with Greg Ginn's guitar playing after Rollins joined. The concept and what they stood for is above reproach. Just musically I can't get away with it. :-[
-
I think my big one would be Stevie Ray Vaughan. I love Hendrix but I'm not sure if hearing him blasting a few Marshall stacks and blistering feedback would have been as enjoyable as hearing him on an album. I'm lucky that I've seen quite a few of my favorite bands that aren't around anymore (Metallica with Cliff, Maiden on the Powerslave Tour, the Ramones a bunch of times, Sepultura on the BTR And Arise tours... hammm? Maybe the original Pink Floyd around the time of Animals?
-
Stevie Ray is a good call, the unplugged Rude Mood is just stunning!!!!!
