Concerts you wish you could have attended

[TheGhostOfAbeVigoda]

The last real Guess Who reunion tour with Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings.

Was on some family reunion trip and the rest of my family went to see the last BTO tour.

Styx with Dennis Deyoung

Not in the same league as those but am really pissed I missed Suede when they were in LA a couple months ago.

My dad took me to see Randy Bachman one time. It was almost like a one man show but he had a band. He told a bunch of stories and played a bunch of songs, it was pretty cool.

 

[ThePepsiColaRapist]

Tom Petty
Sonic Youth

 

[Riccardo Bosi]

Motorhead no-showed at a shitty little bar show I had tickets to in a small city. I couldn't believe they were playing there and I'm pretty sure they saw the venue and were just like "fuck this."

I saw them in 2011. Best show I've ever been to.

Haha.

 

[Riccardo Bosi]

Heaven & Hell (Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio if you're retarded) WITH JUDAS PRIEST


I said I'd catch them another time

 

[AntSucks]

Call me a faggot I would have loved to have been there when Michael J Fox did his Johnny B Goode performance.

I would love to see one of those. Motherfucker just never makes it to the west coast anymore. Him and Turner aren't allowed to use the BTO name which limits where they can tour but it may as well be called BTO. Same thing with Burton Cummings, they do shows every so often but just Canada and the East Coast. Him not being in the rock and roll hall of fame alone delegitimizes it.

 

[Mitch Weaver]

Tom Petty is another I fucked up by not seeing.

 

[ThePepsiColaRapist]

I saw them in 2011. Best show I've ever been to.

Haha.

I saw them at a pretty small venue back (500 or so) in 2003.
It was amazing. They were very, very loud.

 

[N64 Cube]

I saw Rush in 2011 during the Time Machine tour. They played two sets that tour. First it was different songs. Second set it was all of Moving Pictures.

Before this, I was never a really big rush fan. I knew similar songs. Tom Sawyer, YYZ, The Spirit of Radio and Subdivisions. I only knew them through a coworker of mine because he was a big rush fan. I ended up going with a few friends of mine became a rush fan. It was a really good show.

I was in the same situation. Not a fan. (Still not really one, but I do enjoy those songs you mentioned). I saw them during the same tour on the east coast. Really impressed with their musicianship and talent.

I would’ve liked to seen the Stone Temple Pilots during the late 90s early 2000’s. I was in college and could barely afford anything at the time so I couldn’t go.

Metallica from the early days to about 1993.

Queen (not the queen now, but with Freddie Mercury). Although I got beat up and called Faggot when I was in middle school for liking them.

And probably Paul Simon

Pretty sure that last decade or so they were piping in shit. Back in the day half the fun was watching that dude play bass and keyboards at the same time.

 

[JoeCumiawearsDIAPERS]

I’ll have to look it up, I think he told it on a Stern interview. I think they met somewhere or he contacted him personally and told him he wanted to work on something with him. He gave Grohl a time and address and Dave showed up to an empty room. Probably waited there alone for like 1-2 hours thinking Prince was on his way then realized “fuck, he got me”

I’m pretty sure this was before Prince played the Super Bowl so when he covered “Best Of You” all it did was confuse Grohl even more. Prince never reached out to him again so he really fucked with Grohl’s head in the long runs

I heard a story that he basically wrote and recorded an entire album for The Time. Apparently he was a workaholic and called the one guy 70 times trying to get in touch with him.

He may have been the innovator of telephone harassment. Prince was a patposter confirmed

 

[Monk]

March 27th, 1981 in Montreal when Rush recorded the Exit...Stage Left video. Could have gone to one of the R40 shows but I would have had to drive several hours and probably go by myself so I didn't. I don't feel like I missed out on much though. The quality was still there with their ability to play the instruments but Geddy's voice is long gone.

Concert for Bangladesh and Concert for George. Prince and Michael Jackson would have been cool to see live. Stevie Ray Vaughan. Ray Charles. BB King. Canned Heat before Alan Wilson died. Professor Longhair.

I saw Rush on their last 3 major North American tours. Don't regret that decision one bit.
