[Whirlwind]

Good topic.

Beatles - early days at The Cavern Club
Elvis - any era, even the goofy Vegas stuff
Joy Division
The Specials (not what's out there right now)
New Model Army (not what's out there right now)

(I do think Joy Division will be on most people's lists.)

[Pol]

The clash
Hendrix
Rage against the machine
The Skids ( gotta have a Scottish 1)
Bob Marley

[Whirlwind]

The clash

Saw them many, many times. Saw them at the peak of their powers when they played their legendary shows in Times Square in New York City. They were one of the great live bands that ever existed. Echo and the Bunnymen were the best live band I ever did see, but The Clash sure were not too shabby. Passion, aggressive energy, and fun. Great live band.

Well, The Clash and Joy Division would be on my list, as others have stated here, but beyond that... I've been to many hundreds of gigs over 30 years and I think I've seen pretty much everyone I wanted to.  I mean, I like a lot of Queen stuff from the 70's but I don't feel any burning desire to go back in time and see them...

I can think of one single gig that I missed and regret it to this day, I think I've mentioned it before.  When Shane McGowen left The Pogues they already had a UK tour booked so Joe Strummer stepped in on vocals.  I bloody love The Pogues but McGowen, bless him, was a dodgy proposition at best in a live venue (I saw him when the Pogues reunited in the 2000's and, well, it wasn't the finest performance I've ever seen, to say the least...  )

But Strummer, fronting a great band and singing those great songs.. HOW IN THE NAME OF FLIPPING BLOODY CRIKEY DID I PASS THAT ONE UP? At Liverpool Royal Court as well, a long gone venue that is still one of my favourites?

I still regard myself as deserving a hard punch, right in the dick, for passing that one up.  You're welcome to agree.
