To ask which singers/ bands you wish you'd seen live? And which ones you'd

[PrickWhittington]

you'd like to or plan to see one day?

My ones are Freddie Mercury at Live Aid, or George Michael at the Freddy Mercury memorial concert.

People I'd love to see live are Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Stone Roses, Prodigy.and Sia.

Would love to have seen Linkin Park. Could have got VIP tickets for free once but didn't find out until the week after the concert!

Fleetwood Mac or the Mamas and Papas.

I saw Status Quo playing a private gig (about 100 people) around 10 years ago. I was working in event management and walking around a circular table sprinkling swarovski crystals every-fucking-where, when Francis Rossi came up behind me and said 'I like how you do that, very arty-farty'. I was 22 at the time and had no idea who he was

Crowed House at Sydney Opera House

I’ve seen everybody I wanted to see so far , went to Live Aid, Queen at Wembley in 1986 etc . The only people I’d like to have seen was a full Wham gig so that’s not happening , although I did see George Michael a few times .

Queen hands down. Saw Bohemiam Rhapsody movie the other day and it gave me goose bumps watching the live aid concert in that. Such a loss. He died shortly after I was born but I grew up listening to Freddie mercury.

Would also love to have seen Oasis. But not to the same extent

I saw Bowie twice and Queen. I wish I had seen George Michael. My sister went to live aid and I really really wish I could turn back the clock and go with her.

Queen and Nirvana.

I saw Stevie Wonder when he headlined Glastonbury, he was brilliant.

Would like to see or have seen:
Queen with Freddie
REM
Nirvana
Stone Roses
Coldplay
Duran Duran in heyday

I have seen a lot of bands though over past 30-odd years.,

And The Killers just to see Mr Brightside live!

Joe Cocker
Queen
Abba

REM
Pink Floyd with Roger Waters

Another vote for queen

I've been lucky enough to see some of the big acts I love (prince, Elton John, Billy Joel, Foos, the killers, snow patrol, stereophonics).

I think I'd have loved to have seen moatloaf

Like everyone else I wish I’d seen Queen with Freddie. Also wish I’d seen Marillion with Fish.

I was too young to have seen Led Zeppelin and Gabriel era Genesis, so have had to make do with solo Robert Plant, Steve Hackett and Peter Gabriel.

I have seen Rush several times and am absolutely gutted that I won’t see them again.

WiseUp I've been lucky enough to see Rush twice. Who says men can't multi-task!

I would have loved to see Joy Division live, also Pink Floyd with Syd Barratt.

Whitney Houston.

ELO and Fleetwood Mac

Janis Joplin
Santana

Would love to see (in my dreams!):

Want to see (or again):
Foo’s (always) - booked!
Muse (Drone ‘s was outstanding at the O2) - booked!
Noel Gallagher HFB
Rival Sons
Eric Clapton

Wouldn’t bother with:
RHCP - saw them at Hyde Park, probably it was the wind/acoustics but it was terrible. Really disappointed.

WiseUpJanetWeiss

Yes! A Led Zeppelin concert would be an absolute dream come true. I’m also too young to have seen them in their heyday.

I have seen Rush several times and am absolutely gutted that I won’t see them again.

Oh God, don’t I know it. I’ve seen Rush six or seven times. Last time was with my husband and sons in 2015, what wound up being Rush’s final tour, when it was rumored that it would be their last. We were devastated when a few months later they announced they’d never tour again. We suspected it was coming, but still . . .

What talent. Three guys on stage making all that music. We’ll never see anyone like them again.

Aaah, I’m sorry you missed Duran Duran in 1982! They still tour occasionally, though, so maybe you can catch them the next time around. I’ve seen them four times since 1984, and the last time was in April 2016 when Chic opened for them. It was a fantastic concert. Unbelievable. And Simon's still awesome

My husband, who was not a fan, surprised me on Easter Sunday with the tickets and went with me. And even he was impressed. His (paraphrased) words were, “That wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, they’re pretty good. That bassist is really talented.” This coming from a complete Rush fan.

Just thought of another one. Madness!

My sister had a crush on the guy who played “Brother” in the “Our House” video. I think his name was Mark Bedford.

The way some posters are just listing all of the live bands they’ve seen!! Read the opening post!
