I saw Todd Rundgren, whose music I love, live...but the band sounded really bad.
Conversely I saw Renaissance live and they were fantastic....sounded as good as studio album. Their lead singer...Annie Haslam has a fabulous voice...even BETTER live...VERY talented group...best I ever heard.
Pitts I had to go back to a few old posts of my fellow Renaissance lovers to let you know they are getting back together for their 40th anniversary. Annie still has it going on. Still can do 5 freaking octaves at 62 years old.
Really wish I could have seen Grandaddy before they split.
Never thought I'd get to see the full Pogues lineup, but alas they toured the U.S. in 2007 and 2008. Shane MacGowan sounded remarkably good for being Shane MacGowan.
If I could go back in time and see anyone in concert, it would be a toss-up between Led Zeppelin and being on the roof of Abbey Road studio for the live Beatles performance.
Rush
Red Hot Chili Peppers (Hillel Slovak days!)
Stevie Ray
Prince (Yeah, I know....)
New Grass Revival (seen many configurations of 2 or 3 of them...)
Pigpen Era Grateful Dead (Saw MANY times in 80's and 90's, not the same)
Janice Joplin
Flatt & Scruggs
Pixies
Rage Against the Machine
P-Funk / Parliment
John Lennon
String Cheese Incident
Mozart (Seriously, what a genius!)
I'm sure I missed a few. I was lucky to see a lot of good shows when I was younger. Pretty much love any form of live music, especially improvisational, or non-rehearsed music that comes from the heart. (Bluegrass is very good for that, even if you think you don't like bluegrass!)
I have pretty much stopped going to big arena and stadium shows, but I'd probably still go to see Rush if I get the chance. For 25 years, since Moving Pictures Tour, I've had one conflict or another where I just could not go to see them...
