The Who
Jethro Tull
Stones in Memphis 1975, though I did catch them later.
I have seen most of the big ones, though, and at a time when tickets were reasonable.

Went to the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay in Vegas for a double billed show. It was The Tubes opening up for Berlin. This was before cell phones and I wasn't wearing a watch, but knew I had enough time for the show before I was to catch a late night flight. The Tubes kicked arse, and just before Berlin came on, I glanced at a watch someone was wearing next to me and panicked and wondered how it had gotten so late, and I had a plane to catch, so I bolted out of the venue, missing Berlin entirely. At some point after I left, I realized that I still had three hours because the watch that I glanced at was presumably still set from a traveler from the East coast. Turns out I had plenty of time.

Had a ticket, was at the venue, but never saw Terry Nunn. I love the album Pleasure Victim. Would love to have that show back.

Chris Cornell solo acoustic show was top of my list. He never came to a venue close by. I regret not traveling somewhere to see him.

Passing on a couple of road trips (Oxford, Austin, Athens) to see Uncle Tupelo... I was a broke college student and was always thinking surely they'll come closer on the next record...

Little did I know that by Anodyne, they were barely on speaking terms and that it would all end on May 1, 1994, at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis, MO.

I don't if regret the correct word because I am not sure that I missed an opportunity in the late 70's to see them in the Baton Rouge radius but I really wish I could have seen Thin Lizzy.

Stevie Ray Vaughn when he played Jazz Fest right before he died.
I would have loved to had the chance to see Led Zeppelin.

Pantera. I saw everyone in the band play in other bands tons of times(DOWN, Superjoint Ritual, Damageplan) but never got to see Pantera.

I went with a big group to the show at the old Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport but it got cancelled right before doors were to open because the arena insisted on having chairs on the floor & if you know anything about Pantera shows that is a death wish so they decided to cancel it. A guy even got arrested outside the arena for punching a police horse.

Led Zeppelin for me but I was probably too young.


Later I would have liked to see Chris Cornell solo. Especially his acoustic tour but I didnt.

Two separate situations stopped me from seeing AC/DC and Alice in Chains.

Regret both of those.

ETA: those are ones I had a chance to see. The list of those I would like to have seen but never really had the opportunity is probably too long to list.

I had a chance to see Stevie Ray Vaughn in February 1987 but decided to study for test instead. He would die three years later. My friends all said it was a great show.

NIN

ETA: the story is my brother has seen them probably over twenty times has even made into a live video where Reznor put his hand on his head but I never made it to any of those shows. Completely bummed thinking they would probably never tour again but I’m in Luck and won’t miss it this time.
I will be seeing them in February
