what concerts do you wish you attended?


Let me preface this by saying you can only pick single performances and not festivals ( sorry all you people that would put woodstock on your list). Also please feel free to pick performances before you were born.

That said the performances I wish I could have seen are:

1)Pink Floyd performing the Wall in 1980 in Madison Square Garden. I was not old enough to drive yet and I was not going to buy an airline ticket and then have to buy tickets off the street and then deal with my parents after all that.

2)Miles Davis with his first classic group. To hear Miles, Coltrane, Evans...all on one stage would have been an experience of a lifetime.

3)Tom Waits in his middle years before the voice went and he was doing a lot of work with jazz and just letting it flow. I have seen an old performance from PBS from the late 70's and it was wild.

4)Francis Albert Sinatra----Late 50's enough said.

I now realize I could be at this for quite a while so I just stop now.

Pink Floyd Animals tour

The Highwaymen (Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson)

The Traveling Wilburys (George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty)

Any pre-1980 show by The Tubes

Johnny Cash in his prime (maybe 1965)

Willie Nelson in his prime (maybe around 1975)
I just bought tickets to see Willie Nelson this summer. I didn't want Willie to be on my list of "artist I regret never seeing". I really wish I had made the effort to see Johnny Case before he passed away....
