Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to.

This is fun. I've seen a heck of a lot of shows going back almost 45 years but I did drop the ball on a few, notably:

Talking Heads

The Minutemen

Pete Seeger

Zeppelin

I've seen Neil but I wish I had caught some of those 1979 shows with Crazy Horse; I saw Lou Reed a few times in clubs but was too late for the Velvets; I saw the Who with Keith but wish I had been at the famous Leeds show; I saw the Clash at Bonds but wish I had seen the '79 tour; I saw Gregg and Dickey and the rest but wish I had seen those early shows with Duane; I saw the Dead in 1978 but, oh man, wish I had seen the '77 tour.... I could do this all night!

@tvad, say WHAT? The Minutemen >>> Bonnie Raitt? That's more than my mind can take in!

I saw a relatively unknown Van Halen open for Black Sabbath; a completely unknown U2 play for a small crowd in a club; an up-and-coming Stevie Ray in a small club; I  sat in on a Bonnie Raitt soundcheck once which was a hoot; and so on. But I ain't never seen The Minutemen open for Bonnie Raitt!

(My wife saw the Ramones open for Cheap Trick, another combination that is hard to fathom...)
