The Beatles
….and yes, I can say it.
Tons and tons of other shows I would have loved to have seen but missed out on for so many reasons. I'm just happy that I've had the good fortune to see all that I have seen.
mom, is that you? :D
I was only a little kid but I remember being very jealous the night my best friend came home after seeing The Beatles play in Baltimore only nights after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show.

My mom saw the Beatles….
They were third on the bill, with Tommy Steele headlining, from what I can remember…….
actually my mum was cool and was a coat check girl in the club where all the big bands played………..probably where i get it from
Husker Du @ the old club. A few of my friends went, but I decided to stay at college an extra day and missed it. Big mistake. Probably my biggest non-concert-going regret.
Dead Kennedys @ WUST
Talking Heads @ Merriweather
Minor Threat
The Clash - (I saw the "Cut the Crap" version of the band, but that doesn't count)

Your dad is much cooler than my dad.
he also took me to see Bon Jovi, Poison, Metallica, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, etc…….
ok, so i liked bad music in the 80s, haha.
Pixies- Aug. '89 at 9:30, not that I remember and still regret not going or anything.
My Bloody Valentine
The Verve
Jesus and Mary Chain
Many specific shows I missed, but saw the bands later when it wasn't quite as cool.
Saw Nirvana twice. Best "catch" before it was too late was seeing Miles Davis at Constitution Hall in Aug. '90, just a little before he passed.

I really do wish I had seen the late great Johnny Cash.
and I feel very lucky to have seen both Nirvana & Jeff Buckley not long before their demise.

Husker Du @ the old club. A few of my friends went, but I decided to stay at college an extra day and missed it. Big mistake. Probably my biggest non-concert-going regret.
also the jam in high school, use to catch the bus in front of the punch and judy theater, where a good number of the late 70's new wave and punk acts played in detroit. i can remember seeing the poster for the jam and not acting on it because i didn't have hip older guidance at the time.
i have a friend who still has his ticket from the time xtc where to play in east lansing..
Oh, I forgot the king of all missed shows:
Van Halen- 1984 Tour, March 1984 at Capital Center
My friend and I tried to convince his brother to drive us there for weeks (we were 11). He didn't. Jackass.

Husker Du – got into them after Mould's first solo album
The Clash
Robbie Williams
early Foo Fighters shows
Ash
The Tyde @ Velvet Lounge – crazy late Sun. night show, and they cancelled their other in town gig.

If I could travel back in time to see one band and only one band, I'd have to go with Joy Division…probably in Amsterdam, at the Paradiso. I have a bootleg from that show that never fails to make the hairs on the back of my neck raise.
I'm awfully glad I got to see the Ramones, Nirvana (@ Bender Arena), the Pixies, etc., but to be honest I enjoyed the Breeders opening for Nirvana more than I enjoyed Nirvana. It was not an enjoyable experience to watch Nirvana…and more specifically, not enjoyable to watch the audience watching Nirvana. A lot of people were getting hurt, and hurting each other. Of course, that was back in the day when the moshing thing was really getting out of hand. I enjoyed Smashing Pumpkins the following week at WUST a lot more…with Swervedriver opening, no less. What a great concert that was.
