I've fairly young (18) so I've not been able to see a few artists I'd REALLY like to see. The fact that I'm 2 or 3 hours away from the major venues hurts a lot too.

I missed out on some AMAZING bands because of my age a few years ago. I missed Black Crowes, Smashing Pumpkins (and later Zwan), and Rage Against the Machine. A bit sad about that.

Somehow I missed Tool despite the fact that they played in Michigan like 5 times during their last major tour. I'll check them later.

I've missed Ryan Adams a few times and I really need to see him.

I've missed Aerosmith a LOT of times and prolly won't be able to see them until I go to college at a major city.

A bunch more will come to me later.

Rage Against The Machine.

Had tickets that one year when they were going on tour with the Beastie Boys, and then one of the Beasties broke his arm or something, and both bands cancelled their tour. Sucked. Never came to close to seeing them again.

I caught DD a few months ago (for the 5th time ) on the first leg of the reunion tour. One of the ladies near me was bellyaching the whole time how "this show really needs to get started...I have to get home to put my kids to bed". Despite the fact that I was probably older than she was (mid 30s), I am so glad that I will never be that old.



P.S. Duran will be doing another US tour once the new album is released.
I hope, I hope, I hope I will finally be able to make it! Do you know when the new album will be released?

!!!!!!! I wanted to go to that concert so badly. Those were the days when I was in love with them (I cried when I found out Simon got married...I was 12). I wouldn't have minded the girls outnumbering the boys because I wanted to see John.

.....I bet it was like the Reflex video....waterfall and all.....

I've seen ALMOST everyone on my wish list.

Some favorites are/were:

Pearl Jam
Rage Against the Machine
Phish
Bruce Springsteen
Radiohead

I've seen tons and tons from ALL TYPES of music.
So my list of "not seen but want to" is pretty short so it might seem very strange (especially after looking at my FAVORITE list) that I still want to see:

JIMMY BUFFET
and
TIM MCGRAW
and
The Who

All of them. First show was the US Festival in May 1983, Saw them a week or so later on the floor of the LA Sports Arena, where Bono had to jump down into the crowd after getting "caught" by fans.

Best shows:
1st Leg Joshua Tree
Both Inside and Outside ZooTV
And my one show inside the heart on Elevation (out of 8 times on the Elevation Tour)

They're allegedly about to sign with Epic records, so no news on the release date, of course, until they get a contract.

I have seen just about everyone I would have like to see (U2, Who, Stones, Grabriel, Springsteen, VH w/David Lee, SRV, ......)

Missed:

The Doors w/JM
Led Zepplein
And my number 1 miss Pink Floyd The Wall tour. I was a bit young and could not talk my sister into driving me out to L.I. to see the show
