Which band do you regret not seeing live?
yeah Bunnyman - that Nirvana show was a mess - I tried to stay out of the fray as much as I could but by the end of the show nearly the entire floor was consumed. They had Pat Smear with them at the time & he spent a lot of the show tongue kissing Novaselic. Weird.
While the show was not one of my favorites - you just knew you were seeing something special - important even.

This one's simple:
The Clash.
It was just in the window between my parents taking me to see their classic rock bands and me venturing off to see new acts. My folks weren't into punk and neither was I when I first started seeing bands on my own.
I will always be bitter about that. Who's idea was this?

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.

And the Velvet Underground in NYC.

Gotta agree with folks about regretting not seeing/wishing I had seen the Clash (although I might be too young). I also would have liked to have seen Johnny Cash. Feel good about seeing the Pixies though. My Bloody Valentine got a little boring after a while.
Being a bit on the young side for any serious missage, I think Pavement is the only band I could have seen, but didn't. Definitely regret that one.
Oh, and Pulp-not-TFC for me too.

The list of performers I shouldda seen live is to long and depressing to think about (including both Tim Buckley and his son). But among the ones I also couldda seen and managed to screw up the (now lost forever) chance:
Velvet Underground and Nico (Crown & Anchor, Provincetown MA, August 1967)
The Clash (UM, College Park MD, 1979)
Roy Orbison (Cape Cod Melody Tent, Hyannis MA, 1988)
John Hartford (Station Inn, Nashville TN, 1996 among others)
Danny Gatton (way too many chances passed up)
A few caught just in time:
Joe Pass
Laura Nyro
John Fahey

Would have like to see Joe Strummer and At The Drive In during their existence. Still regret missing Converge at 9:30 when they opened for hatebreed.
