And, if the OP will indulge me, I'd like to step off the nostalgia train jut long enough to remind myself and everyone else that there are still excellent musicians performing. In this regard, I'd love to see Black Pumas !

Beethoven 5th Piano Concerto, The Emperor Bill Evans Miles & Art Pepper Rush's R-40 Tour... miss them, oh, and Elvis when he was fat and disgusting ...
My first concert as a youth was Jethro Tull. First time I ever smelled the evil weed, too. Saw Bette Midler and Keith Jarrett, also. I spent the 90s in Milan. Saw Elton, Eric, Phil, Tina. Had a friend that got a lot of Vegas comps. Saw Annie Lennox and a few I can’t remember.
At 73 the only groups I missed and wanted to see were the Stones and Led.
John Coltrane Miles Davis Jimi Hendrix Joni Mitchell The Band The Grateful Dead The Doors Creedence Clearwater Revival Traffic Cream The Velvet Underground Bob Marley and the Wailers The Who (with Keith Moon) - saw them twice in the early 80’s but it wasn’t the same Roxy Music Howlin’ Wolf Nina Simone Sly and the Family Stone
I've actually seen a good deal of the artists mentioned in this thread. I saw almost all of the rock acts that are mentioned, with the notable exception of Prince. I saw Ellington -- a model of grace and charm. I did, though, miss Coltrane, Bird and Pavarotti. My older sister saw the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl. She yelled herself hoarse.
Hendrix, and Janis Joplin for sure. I really like Merle Haggard too. Chet Atkins and Marty Robbins. I'd like to see again but can't Prince.. He put on a killer show. I liked Salina too. What a bad thing to happen to such a shining star.. Patsy Cline and Billie Holiday. I'd give my eye teeth the see Pavarotti again...
