The One Concert You Wish You Seen

[Blackwater Demon]

If you could pick one show you did not see but wish you could have what would it have been?

For me I would have to say when Pink Floyd came to New York in either 80 or 81. Only thing is I was born in 81 so it wouldn't have been impossible.

 

[Antyman]

Plan Three in Stokcholm last night.. 20 is the most fucked up age limit.. ever..

Other than that: Pantera.

 

[Prophet178]

Hmmm theres a bunch I can think of.

Some of the earlier Marilyn Manson shows in the 90's.

Couple broken up bands I would've loved to see live:

Death From Above 1979
At The Drive-In

Bands i'm still dying to see live:

The Mars Volta
Mastodon
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Brand New
Converge
Any of Mike Pattons bands, Mr. Bungle being my favorite
Isis
Rx Bandits
...And a bunch more

But I guess to answer the question, the one concert I wish I could've seen would be the 1996 Aenima tour by Tool.

 

[Crono101]

Yeah, I missed Tool when they came with Isis for their 10000 Days tour. That choked me up. I didn't have the money to buy the ticket. Two amazing bands and I missed them! ARG!

 

[4speedmetal]

Any concert from the original Pink Floyd. Any concert from Led Zeppelin. That's a huge regret in my life, being too young to see the mighty Led Zeppelin. They last played the USA in 1977.

Almost went on about other bands I want to see, but the question is one concert. So, for me, the mighty Led Zeppelin.

 

[Don Corleone]

pink floyd live at pompeii, 1971. well, guess i would be the only single audience =)

led zeppelin re-union 2007

and even though i saw them on tv, wish i could have seen pin floyd live at live 8.

 

[SerenityNow!]

Bands include...

Pink Floyd (one in each era)
Led Zeppelin ('70s, of course, but I'll take reunion also)
Doors (w/Morrison, but I'd take a reunion)
Black Sabbath (saw the reunion, but would love to see a '70s show)
Deep Purple (one with Ian, one with Dave <-- both perferably '70s)

Umm....

Would've loved to see a rippin' Cactus show back in the '70s. Probably in some shit-hole club, which would just make it that much better.



Oh, yeah, I did miss Dream Theater/Fates Warning/Queensryche, when they came around (although I have seen Queensryche).

I'm sure there are others, but that's good for now...



EDIT: Oops, I failed to read "one band". Oh well, I won't conform...

 

[hexwind]

Led Zeppelin
Judas Priest
Black Sabbath
Metallica
Pink Floyd
Pantera
Death
and Opeth..

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Not one specifically, but I have to say I would kill to go back in time and see one of Korn's concerts supporting their first or second album.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

Yes in 1972.

 

[Reelo]

I'd say:

Pink Floyd during the Division Bell tour
Iron Maiden during the tour for Somewhere in Time
Dream Theater during the Awake tour

 

[sotua]

Rush - still no dice in getting them to play here

Sepultura before Max split - I actually attended that show in 1994, but then my friend got his head cracked by some asshole during the first song and we had to leave for the hospital. Missed the whole show.

Jamiroquai, before Stu Zender left and the acid jazz influences left to be replaced with JK's dance dance machine.

BB King - no amount of times seeing this guy is enough (I caught him only once)

 

[FJChaos]

Woodstock '69

Especially the Jimi Hendrix concert.

 

[Blackwater Demon]

my biggest concert regret was not knowing who Strapping Young Lad were at Ozzfest 06 and only listening to a few of their songs instead of actually paying attention to them. Im such a loser.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Woodstock '69

Especially the Jimi Hendrix concert.

Oh yeah good call on Hendrix.

 

[To rid you disease]

yea, who does not want to listen to a high hendrix wank bullshit for endless hours

 

[Lateralus14]

Besides the obvious woodstock, probably some metallica concert around 1985

 

[Don Corleone]

shit, forgot about hendrix and joplin!

 

[Ruun]

Death.

 

[Chinese Whispers]

Easy question.

Monterey Pop Festival (June 16th-18th 1967).

Get to see Janis Joplin, Otis Redding and Ravi Shankar, not to mention the Who playing one of the gigs of their lives only to have Jimi Hendrix step it up a notch.
