Although I already posted a list of people or bands that I wish I had seen, I would like to add an addendum.    

Even though I saw him live before, I would really like to see the real Bob Dylan.    

What I mean is that I would like to see Dylan play all his songs as they were presented on the records I own. I know that after playing the same songs for 50 years there is a tendancy to want to improvise a bit, but when I saw him the songs were literally unrecognizable.    

Probably the most disappointing concert I have ever seen.

@shtinkydog - I suppose you got to see Siouxsie on her solo tour and with the Creatures? I loved that band - I was fortunate enough to see Siouxsie and the Banshees about 10 times over the years in the SF Bay Area...

@schubert is funny - he loves 'Arty' Shaw so much and doesn't even know how to spell his name. At least he's an entertaining troll. 

This is fun. I've seen a heck of a lot of shows going back almost 45 years but I did drop the ball on a few, notably:

Talking Heads

The Minutemen

Pete Seeger

Zeppelin

I've seen Neil but I wish I had caught some of those 1979 shows with Crazy Horse; I saw Lou Reed a few times in clubs but was too late for the Velvets; I saw the Who with Keith but wish I had been at the famous Leeds show; I saw the Clash at Bonds but wish I had seen the '79 tour; I saw Gregg and Dickey and the rest but wish I had seen those early shows with Duane; I saw the Dead in 1978 but, oh man, wish I had seen the '77 tour.... I could do this all night!
