What bands have you seen that don’t exist anymore? What bands did you miss seeing?
We had a discussion at work this week about bands that we wish we could have seen. It got me thinking about what bands I could have conceivably seen during my concert-going years that I missed, as well as the bands and musicians that I did get to see before they disbanded or passed away.
With that in mind, I made a list of the bands I’ve seen or missed as of the date of this post.
Concerts I wish I had seen, but missed my chance:
- Queen
- Barry White
- Cranberries
- David Bowie
- John Lee Hooker
- Lou Reed
- Morphine
- Nirvana
- Plasmatics
- Prince
- Sinéad O’Connor
- The Cars
- The Clash
- The Kinks
- The Pogues
- The Who
- Twisted Sister
- Type O Negative
Concerts I did see before someone critical passed away (I have been very lucky):
- Avenged Sevenfold with The Rev
- B.B. King
- Charlie Daniels
- David Crosby
- Etta James
- Huntress
- Jeff Beck
- Joey Jordison (drumming for Slipknot)
- Katie Webster
- Metallica with Cliff Burton
- Motörhead
