By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Watching Bohemian Rhapsody and it's taking me back to my primary school obsession of watching the Queen set over and over again on VHS! I would still kill to have been there.

Was anyone there?

Or, which other gig that's gone down in history were you at/wish you'd been at?

I’d liked to have gone to Buddy Holly’s last concert with a banner saying, Take The Bus

Was at AcDc at Donington at the end of the middle walkway. That's on dvd now. There were queensryche, black crowes, motley crue, and Metallica on that day. Was excellent.

I could have gone to Live Aid and Pink Floyd - pulse. But decided against both.. Don't know why??

Although I saw Floyd on Delicate Sound of Thunder tour and that was simply stunning.

I was at Live Aid. 20 yards from the stage all day. Wept thru the last 20 minutes of BoRap

Would have loved to have seen Bob Marley at the Lyceum 1975 as recorded on 'Live' album

Also one of Springsteen's Xmas shoes at Maidison Square Gardens

And the Stones on their 1973 World Tour

I’m sure we’d all loved to have seen Bruce’s Christmas shoes.

I was fortunate enough to have been able to see the late Michael Jackson in concert.

1992 Dangerous tour. It was Epic - and so was the record label he was signed to.

I go to a lot of gigs. Can’t think of any as ‘gone down in history’ though.

I’d have liked to have been there for Kate Bush’s recent ish comeback.

I’d have loved to have seen the Stones on their 1972 American tour, rock n roll excess at its highest.

I was at the last full gig Oasis did before the Gallaghers fell out, that was an epic night and in a small venue too so I was right up at the front.
