What Concert Would You Like To Go To, But Never Have?


I've always wanted to see The Rolling Stones.  I've never been to one of their concerts.  The last time they played near me, the cheapest ticket was $115.00 and that was for a seat way up in the nosebleed section.  I couldn't afford to go.  cry

David Bowie. He doesn't come to town often, and usually when he does, I can't afford tickets. Last time he came, I tried as hard as I could to win tickets from a local radio station, but no luck.

Back in the day I always wanted to see Aerosmith and Def Leppard! My sister told me after the fact that she had thought about taking me to see them. cry

Aerosmith will probably still be cool to see.

You know, I'm sure Lady Strange is going to come to this thread and go: seen it, seen it, seen it...

I'm gonna show my age....but I've seen most of the great classic rock bands of the past, but some concerts I would have like to have been at:

The Beatles (I've seen Paul a few times and John Lennon's last live appearance with Elton John at Madison Square Garden though)
Elvis
Frank Sinatra

You're not that much older than I am SG....only by a year or two.  The Beatles, yeah, I would've liked to see them too.

Marky had a good connection, and saw him at a small club - my favorite club, actually, a few years ago.  Must've been awesome!

No way, Jose!  There are a lot of artists I've never seen live, but want to!

Not the biggest Aerosmith fan in the world, so have not seen them live, although my husband has many times, and tells me that Steven really is that good live- as he seems on TV.

I've seen DL a few times, but never with their original lineup, which makes me very very sad, and is a huge regret of mine.  On the High 'N Dry tour, they opened for Judas Priest, & I really wanted to go, but I was young, and missed the boat.  I was really sad when Pete Willis left the band.  cry   I did however see them twice on the "Pyromania" tour, twice on "Hysteria" tour, then I was 'done.'  When Steve died, my favorite 2-guitarist HM band had no more original guitarists, and it changed everything. 

Plus Joe can't sing anymore.  And once Vivian Campbell traded in guitar god status to play over-produced pop, it became completely ridiculous!  I mean, what in the hell is that all about, anyway?!  mad

Sigh....  I need to hears me some real DL.  (Good thing it fits in with our theme today!)

LS......Aerosmith really is that good live!!  First time I saw them was right after "Get Your Wings" album was released.......Foghat opened for them (they were really good at the time too)........last time I saw them was after "Permanent Vacation" came out.  They only improved with age! 

Thinking back on all the concerts I've attended has made me realize how truly shocking ticket prices are now.  I saw so many great, great shows for less than $7.00 a ticket.....average price used to be $5.00.  Most expensive concert I went to at the time was $22 for an all day and night show which featured Cheap Trick, Bob Segar, Van Halen, Blue Oyster Cult, REO Speedwagon, Rush, Uriah Heap, Ted Nugent, and an "unknown" U2 opening the show.  Those were the days!!!

I wish I could see "The Police" this tour, and back when I was younger, I would have liked to see "The Doors", but Jim Morrison, died too soon, and I never got to see them.

Aerosmith rocked the two times I saw them! Steven is SO full of energy and flips and grooving'! You get whiplash following him!


I, too, would like to have seen the Doors and Hendrix. I would have also like to have seen Boston, Beatles, Bruce Springsteen and Phil Collins- solo or not. Oh yeah and Rush!

Ruby, I saw Boston once but I was kind of disappointed......I dunno, maybe they were having a bad night or something wasn't right with the sound system, but they didn't sound too good that night.  They had a good stage presence though. 

Sorry you've never seen Rush.......saw them a few times and they are excellent!!
