Default Concert you never saw but should have

I brought this up the other day with a friend of mine. Knowing what you know now, what artist/band would you have absolutely gone to see that you didnt back then.

Even though he isnt a favourite of mine, i would have taken a trip to see Prince and would have loved to have seen STP back in the 90's when Weiland was at his best.

If this thread has been done, i apologize.

I missed several chances to go see the Sex Pistols back in early '77, I regret not catching most of the Grunge scene in the 90's, in my defense I had an 8 year old kid and a bad marriage

When Soundgarden was here, shooting the video for Fell on Black Days, I should have gone. It would be cool because of the living relic the video would have been.

In Jr. High, I kept putting off getting tickets to Radiohead...by the time I got around to it, it was too late. I got to see them at Max Bell a few years later, but it would've been a cool experience to see them at Mac Hall when they were still relatively small.

There are probably a hundred awesome concerts I should've seen while living in NY. The problem when you live in a busy place like that is that there's always another concert coming up, so you just put it off.

Two that come to mind are Daft punk around 15 years ago in the states and Prince when he was here the last time before his death.

Metallica And Justice For All tour with The Cult as an opener. Two of my absolute favourite bands and I didn’t bother to try and get tickets as a 14 year old with better things to do.

I should have seen the band Her’s in Denver but the woman I was seeing didn’t like their music. I said that’s fine and I’ll catch them next time they’re in town.

Entire band died in a car crash a few nights later. So can’t see em now.

Had floor seats for that one. Excellent show.

STP, never managed to see them.

I was at that show too. The Cult were great but weren't received well by the Metallica fans.

AC/DC in Edmonton in 1991 and later in 2015. Missed both for not wanting to pay scalpers’ prices and still kicking myself for it.

The second time Fugazi played here. I wish I knew it would be the last time.

The fact that these were all Calgary shows is devastating now in retrospect…
