what bands you regret that you never got to see them live?

Pink Floyd, especially during the PULSE tour. I was really young so it wasn't going to happen.

I'm really bad about saying "I'll see them next time around"

I missed David Gilmour in NYC, I had the perfect opportunity to snag some decent tickets for the show that was happening a few days after Score and didn't do it.

There are too many for me, mainly because of money, it is expensive to watch bands in Mexico when you don't live in Mexico City. Some bands I missed that I regret:

Transatlantic, VUUR, Alestorm, The Aristocrats, Babymetal, Dream Theater in the BC&SL tour (the only DT show I've missed since I became a fan in 2007), Mayan, Ghost, Mastodon and many others.

Thinking about it more there are more bands I didn’t see simply because of laziness. Now I’ll try and go see anything I’m even remotely interested in.

Deep Purple.

Purple is still touring; even with no Lord, no Blackmore, and Gillan at three-quarters strength, they are still one of the best live bands around.  I've seen them twice in the Morse era and they ROLLED.  To this day, the moment in "Woman From Tokyo", where the bridge ends and the band kicks in with the riff is one of the coolest moments I've ever experienced live.  They were in perfect synch and went from zero to blowing my hair back with power in the space of a heartbeat. 

Plus they do a great job of mixing new with recent old with classic.  They have GREAT setlists.

Totally agreed. I've seen them twice with Steve Morse as well and they rock super hard. It's one of the most entertaining and fun shows out there.

Hopefully they'll return to Norway before they stop, so that I can rectify that.

Blind Guardian, I bought At The Edge of Time, and was just getting into them. They announced a show here and I was thinking about going but didn't. Now I regret not going because they played some good shit...

Here's their set:

Warpaint.  Every time I try to see them something else comes up.  Next weekend it's a funeral.  I had one chance to see them live at the Hollywood Bowl and got there late and missed them. 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Biggest one for me is Porcupine Tree, although I still hold out hope for a reunion.
