We saw them a couple of years ago at the Portsmouth Guildhall, they were great.
I wish I had seen Pink Floyd . |

"Suede."
I got to see them back on their first tour when Bernard Butler was still playing guitar. Birmingham Hummingbird I think. So good! Also seen Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana and a few others on this thread. I was a little young to appreciate The Smiths back then so with hindsight I wish I'd seen them. Did see Johnny Marr a few years back and he did do some Smiths songs. And did them justice; his band are cracking. |

"I would have loved to have seen an on form Amy Winehouse perform live."
Saw her at G'bury some years back. I'm a big fan but by the end of the set when she was mullahed and slurrrring through Rehab I was like, Hmmm. Maybe not...
Sad. |

Nirvana
Foos - still have a chance at this
Rob Zombie - as above"
I would have liked to have seen that Motörhead line up. |

"Would have loved to have seen Kirsty McColl"
I saw Kirsty supporting the pogues. Very shy on stage but terrific voice.
Steve Earle was also on that night and they all joined in for the encore Fairy Tale Of New York.
They made it snow on stage, it was brilliant. |

I think i was at that same Suede gig, may 93? Hummingbird was a cracking venue, got closed down not long after iirc. Seen Suede 3 or 4 times since. They're still ace live even if the records aren't great. |

I saw Floyd twice, first at the old Wembley stadium then at Earl's Court.
Wished I'd seen the four of them together doing a full concert.
I wish I'd seen Roger waters do the wall live - still kicking myself
I wish I had seen Pink Floyd . "

Nirvana. Didn't bother going to Reading 92 to see them . Thought they were past it! Doh!
Never saw Suede. They didn't tour up north much in their early days. I did see Oasis in a pub though! |

There and to the left a bit |
With you on The Jam OP, seen Weller solo numerous times snd The Style Council a couple of times too, but timing never did work out to see The Jam. Other one would be The Clash - sadly for different reasons neither is ever going to happen now.
The only other one was The Specials, who I did finally get to see on their first reunion tour and were awesome, even though, sadly, Dammers wasn't there. |

Bruce has appeared a couple of times with Paul on his solo tours not even sure Rick plays any more, and certainly won't be guest appearing with Weller any time soon. As an aside the charitable project I help out with that releases albums of covers of different artists by unsigned bands is doing The Jam in 2017, can't wait to hear some of those. |

The first reunion tour the shows were fantastic, sadly now they're down to just three or four of them and still playing the same set, you couldn't pay me to go see them. |

Same. The 2009 show I saw at the Brighton centre was awesome. |

Stevie ray vaughan and his brother just sounded different to everyone else yet played r&b rather than rock and roll, killed in a plane crash, i think in 1990. |

"My biggest regret is not seeing Prince
+1
Also Guns n Roses when they were in their pomp!"
I saw GnR at Wembley Stadium doing Appetite, but wish I'd seen them at a smaller venue. I hate stadium gigs.
I think I'd also have to go with The Doors! |

The Cocteau Twins. I'd have loved to have seen the smiths as well but I dread any reunion, somethings are of the time and best left alone. Also, Morrissey has turned into a huge arse over the years... |
