It occurs to me that I have seen most everyone I want but probably will never see
Alphaville
Alphaville
Bands/artists you would like to see but prob won’t happen
I resubmit
Big Audio Dynamite
Kate Bush
Tom Waits
Seconded Tom Waits, which feels prescient as prior to reading this I posted an ad looking for people interested in doing a Tom Waits cover/tribute band. My thought is that If he's not going to tour, wouldn't it make niche financial sense as a group of musicians to fill an otherwise unfillable void? I am aware that it would be impossible to fill the personality role, but musically, I'm sure that there are some that would like to see/hear selected cuts performed live. Maybe I'm just a rapidly aging wannabe hipster (a world that quickly fell out of fashion somewhere along the timeline of the aughts).
Also, I'll probably never convince myself to see Springsteen for the cost of a ticket. This is despite the fact that my wife did convince me that it was worth spending, what in my mind was an obscene amount to see the geriatric Stones. Having done that I will say it was arguably worth it considering she actually really enjoyed the show (I had fun as well). I'm not a huge fan, but the songs that I do like, I really like. I would like to hear anyone's argument that Born to Run is anything less than genuinely anthemic.
Bummed that I never saw/will never see Sonic Youth.
I'll probably never convince myself to see Wilco (I assume they would mostly play ok newer tracks, one or two songs from Being There and nothing from AM).
I still mentally kick myself for missing Paul Westerberg in the early/mid 2000s and thinking that I would get a chance to see The Replacements at somewhere better than Echostage.

I almost put Paul…I don't know why he doesn't tour

I would like to see The Libertines.
I recommend going to one Bruce Springsteen show and one Wilco show. What's the worst that would happen?
Sorry you missed out on the PW and better Replacements shows.
I have faith I will see Neil Young so haven’t included him…my time will come
Going to see Rod Stewart this summer

I may see Rod Stewart, but that will depend upon whether folks dump tickets on the day of show. Pavillion tix are way to costly.
Tougher question than I thought. The mention of the Replacements at Echostage made me realize my biggest regret is not seeing artists in their prime. A lot of aging artists or reunited bands are fun to watch but hardly the version I really want to see.
That Replacements show was dull. And even if Westerberg toured again it would be nothing like the shows he played at the old 930 back in 92 or so.

Are you taking your mom, and singing along with (covering Alphaville) "Forever Young" together?
Apologies if your mom isn't with us anymore. This totally seems like an intergenerational family show possibility for the 40+ crowd and their parents.
Black Flag with Henry
Dead Kennedy's with Jello
Although Like STC said…would just be nostalgia, not really like the artist in their prime

no, man that would have been a blast
Honestly, could never get into the rollins band
I did see flag with Keith fronting a bunch of songs….was fun but also kinda meh
but Henry at the mic stand dong BF songs would be awesome
Yeah had no idea in 2003 the Rollins band did a Rise above tour!
no one updated setlist.fm with the 930 show
but I'm sure it was similar to this https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/rollins-band/2003/the-fillmore-san-francisco-ca-3bf488a8.html
Jesus that must have been epic…
also in the SF show…
Jealous Again(with Jello Biafra) !

Saw FLAG and thought that rocked, but a live show like that is so my wheel house that they would've really needed to shit the bed for me not to love it. The Rollins/Rise Above show was killer. Can't recall the setlist but I have to assume it was exactly what you linked to. Can't for the life of me remember why they toured that way (maybe that West Memphis 3 benefit album?) but I do recall his band at the time Mother Superior opening the show and talking about how ROllins backing band was their favorite
