Within my lifetime, Nirvana, SRV, Foo Fighters w/Taylor,

One of the ultimate arena concert bands.

My (nopic) wife’s great grandfather had a band and played trumpet around NE IA, his daughter, my wife’s grandma Jean played piano for them. We would always try to get her to play at family gatherings; the few times she did play were glorious. I would like to have seen that band.

 

[ISUBryceC]

Beastie Boys. Had a chance to go see them in Minneapolis on the Hello Nasty tour and didn’t do it. Only regret I have when it cones to concerts.

Elliot Smith.

Saw Tom Petty at Carver Hawkeye and Nirvana at the Aragon.

 

[boxahawks]

Sam Cooke, but I'd have only been 15 so it wouldn't likely have happened,

 

[McLovin32]

Foo Fighters before Taylor Hawkins passed. Bought tix one day then 12 hours later the news about him came out. Gutted......

Damn dude, that's brutal. Foo Fighters w/ Hawkins is up there for me. Audioslave and 2pac also immediately came to mind.

When I was a freshman in college I skipped a free concert on campus to finish a chemistry lab report. The concert was by a little-known band from NYC ...


... called The Ramones.

Sh*t.

 

[JMNSHO]

I have told the story before about how I blew my chance to see Emmylou Harris, opting instead to let my wife watch on her own while I watched the Cubs lose a playoff game. Such a dumbass.

She will be disappointed to know she’s dead.

I expected at least one Jerry Garcia reference in this thread.

Alpine Valley 1989

 

[GlenHawk]

Layne and AIC

 

[Pinehawk]

I expected at least one Jerry Garcia reference in this thread.

The people who wanted to see him, probably did. Twice.

 

[NDallasRuss]

For me there are ones where I could've probably gone to see them, but didn't make the effort and then it was too late:
Nirvana
Beastie Boys
Prince
Pantera

Other than that, I'd have liked to have seen Sublime before Nowell died but, being honest, I only learned of them after their big album came out, then went back and found earlier stuff.

 

[Mayland]

Stone Temple Pilots.
