My wife and I saw Canyon open for someone once at the Black Cat and both of us thought they were dreadful. The headliner was good, though I don't remember who it was.
Bands You Miss Seeing Live
Fleetwood Mac with Christine McVie….sorry it's not the same without her! That's why I'm not seeing Fleetwood Mac next year!

when was this? maybe this was when they were just starting out?? always were solid when i saw them..
Yeah, who knows why/if Canyon wasn't up to it that night. Those shows at Iota were so killer, I saw four or five of them and they killed it every time. Might have been the most disappointing band break-up I can name.
red hot chili peppers!!!
man they NEVER tour anymore!

I really don't remember. If someone threw a complete list of bands they opened for at the Black Cat I'd be able to pick it out.
It was long before they hooked up with Jay Farrar.

Im sure theyre taking time off cuz they toured for like 2 years straight. If not working on an album. Stadium Arcadium was the bee knees.
My list is a long one:
The Ramones
Inspiral Carpets (still doing UK shows)
Ned's Atomic Dustbin (ditto)
Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (ditto again)
Catherine Wheel
Curve
Material Issue
The Judybats
Paw
Red House Painters
Jawbox
Sugar
Heatmiser / Elliott Smith
Grandaddy
Face to Face (especially lately, even though they still do West Coast shows)
Queens of the Stone Age w/Nick Oliveri
and, back when they didn't suck, Smashing Pumpkins

I was joking. I've seen them like 10 times and dont think i ever once bought a ticket because they were on the lineup!
Seriously though, i miss seeing the Tragically Hip
I know they are still around and i can still see them, but in DC/Baltimore its like, not even the same show.
Other than that , i dont think i've ever really seen anyone more than 5 times so i dont really feel like i miss any of them.

Brendan Benson (pre-Raconteurs)
Garbage
Le Tigre
Sleater-Kinney
I'll second the PJ Harvey and The Gossip, but the Gossip just played in April in NYC, and PJ played last October.

Ben Andrews who played Madams Organ on Tuesday nights for at least ten years.. just fabulous bluesman… unfortunately he left earlier this year..not sure what happened.. i think he's playing in europe where people actually pay good money to see him
He was just amazing… a huge loss for DC.

While I wouldn't at all call them dreadful, I have never liked them either. Guess part of that is due to it just not being my cuppa tea. Have only seen them once but any MP3s I heard did even less for me.
Which brings me to the one time I did see them, they played at the Black Cat for the band I dearly miss seeing play live…

Plenty of other bands I missed out on and would have loved to have seen but that list would be for a whole other thread.

Magazine, one of my FAVORITE bands ever, is playing a 5-date reunion stint in the UK in February. Am I strongly considering flying out? Hell yes.
Moral of the story: Get it while you can with the bands you wanna see!

Not a lot of bands I've seen have called it quits, besides GBV and the Beta Band (I'd say Blur but, well, y'know… http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/148057-blur-reunion-its-on-for-real.) So here's a list of bands that sadly broke up before I ever got to see them live (or know they existed):
Fugazi
Mclusky
Dirty on Purpose
At the Drive-In
Beulah
Pavement
