I'm reading these and more than half I've seen but I know that some dude that saw concerts from the late 60's to the 70's saw bands that I wanted to see.  Like Zep and The Who, though I did have opportunities to see the Who but never did.


One that you'd be surprised is I wish I saw Stevie Wonder.  My brother did and was blown away.

I'm not really sure if King Crimson will ever tour again, but if they don't I will be gravely disappointed  :'(

Never got to see Nine Inch Nails live, despite being a huge fan of them for over 6 years now. Trent's likely done with touring forever, so I'll probably never get the chance.  :sadpanda:

This also. 

I first got into NIN a few months after the wave goodbye tour ended. I remember getting excited to look up tour dates and being like "what's this wave goodbye tour thing?"  :sadpanda:

Avenged Sevenfold before the Rev died. I had a couple chances, but I was like, "They'll be around for a while..." And while they are still around, they just aren't as good.

Even if you're not serious, I'm going to pretend you are and use this as proof that not all heroes wear capes.

Miles
Buddy Rich
Mahavishnu
'80s Crimson

Bands I could have realistically seen though..
Lets see, I missed Children of Bodom 4 times before I actually saw them this year.  It was worth the wait, but some of their past tours had really good lineups.
Also this year I had a realistic chance to see Kvelertak in chicago and I was hyping the living fuck out of it and the day I was buying tickets, I noticed in rather small font that it was a 21+ show, and that ended those hopes.
Oh and I'll also be missing Ghost on their First US tour the day after my birthday most likely due to funds.

Pink Floyd original line up & Black Sabbath w/Ozzy.

As far as ones I actually could've seen in terms of them being active with touring and me being into them during that still-active period? Arch Enemy. In fact they even had Cradle of Filth opening for them and none of my douche friends wanted to go because I had no other  :metal friends at that time and, in a painfully coincidental twist of events, I still ended up at the House of Blues the night of the show but upstairs in the Parish Room watching these guys play. When I went to piss I could even faintly hear Dani Filth's vocals :(

Easily Queen.

For shows of bands with members dead before my time, I have to add Zeppelin and The Who with Keith Moon.


I will see Gabriel if he tours again, or I will regret it forever, I've missed too many opportunities all ready.
