that you wished you'd seen.
in no particular order

Rolling Stones- 1969 Madison Square Garden- most of Get Yer Ya Ya's out came from this show

Led Zeppelin- 1972 LA Forum- at the height of their powers

Nirvana- 1991 10/4/91 Cat's Cradle, Chapel Hill. I had no idea they ever played there. I lived an hour and a half away and was only 3 years out of school at UNC.

Allman Brothers- March 12/13 Fillmore East- Live at the Fillmore East recorded then, enough said

The Smiths- 12/12/86 Brixton Academy, London. The last show they ever played

REM- anytime 1984 40 Watt Club Athens, Ga- the Birth of Alternative Rock. Got to be there for that.

I know, I know that's 6. Sue me

two good picks, for sure

Sex Pistols at Winterland in San Fran - the last date on their (ill fated) US tour, would be another good one

LOL. I've seen...I would guess...thousands of shows. Those may not of been the best I had seen or even favorite bands of mine..but they stood out.

Oh yeah...Big Audio Dynamite in 1986 was awesome too.

Love and Rockets at the Bronco Bowl
RHCP at Bronco Bowl...then they played again at Clearview that night

Shoot...Butthole Surfers...Skinny Puppy...Fudge Tunnel

Biggest Arena Show??

Probably Stones in 1988. or for shear WOW factor as a 13 year old--Texas Jam with the Scorpians.

LOL, I'm still not sure you get it.

This is anytime anywhere- Buddy Holly - Lubbock Square dance Hall, or the Beatles in the The Cavern in '62

You know, the one's you didn't see


EDIT

sorry just saw your post above- now you get it.

I wished I would have caught the other Pink Floyd shows in 1994...or in Berlin, 1986(ish)

No thanks on the Abba.

I don't really care about the venue, but I'd love to have seen The Replacements anywhere during their heyday. One of my all-time favorite bands, but they were before my time. Their live shows were supposed to have been epic.

You and I don’t agree on a lot of things, but I must admit you have pretty good taste in music.

I spent my teenage years in Southern CA and had access to almost all of my favorite bands (at a cost of $6.50 to $12.00 per show in the 70s) so I really can’t think of one of my favorite bands that I haven’t seen. I am seeing two good shows later this week and the first part of next week. On Friday the 25th I am heading to Cains Ballroom in Tulsa (very small venue) to see the Used and on Monday the 28th I am flying to Austin TX to see My Chemical Romance at Stubbs.

BTW: I was at the 72 Led Zeppelin show at the Forum and it was one of my all time favorites.

Good for you. I continued on for another four or five years destroying brain cells until about 78 or 79.

You have to admit that the 74 CA Jam was one hell of a “BIG” party

I was/am a big fan as well- I actually had tickets to see them in '87 at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill, but was home ( 1-1/2 hr away) on a break.It was like a Tuesday night so I passed. I still regret it to this day

tha't cool, Jmar
how old were you, I'm guessing at least a little older than me seeing as how I was 6 in 72' and I can't see a 6-10 year old catching Led Zep. hahahaha

Anyway props to you for still getting out there and seeing good live music( even flying to do it)

Three doors down and I believe Chevell was also on that ticket.

Would have been a good show.
