Out of curiosity, how many acts currently enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have YOU seen perform live?

For me, the count is 17 (below, alphabetically) but it should easily be in the 20s as soon as they get off their butts and get acts like Little Feat, Jetrho Tull, and others that I've seen but whose exclusion from the Hall is criminal.

1. Aerosmith (Riverbend (Cincy))
2. Allman Brothers Band (Cincy Gardens)
3. Bon Jovi ($10 tickets in Indy!)
4. James Brown (IU Bloomington)
5. Chicago (my first concert ever, Joplin)
6. Def Leppard (twice in Indy)
7. Bo Diddley (toured with BB King thru Dayton)
8. ELO (2018 Detroit and 2019 Nashville)
9. Buddy Guy (with BB King in Dayton on a different tour)
10. Hall & Oates (Cincy Gardens)
11. B.B. King (Dayton, Bloomington.... every single chance!)
12. John Mellencamp (IU Bloomington)
13. Steve Miller (Riverbend)
14. Rush (Market Square Arena, plus some rando venue in VA)
15. Van Halen (Cincy Gardens)
16. Yes (Nutter Center, Dayton)
17. Frank Zappa (Columbus O)

I'm impressed.

The Cow

You missed Elvis at UD Arena in '76!

I went because my mom won tickets from a radio station like an hour or two before showtime and she wasn't able to get a friend on short notice, had great seats. My sister and her future husband paid for tix and were way in the back (they didn't know we were there due to the timing).

kenbuzz

I was 13. Didn't have a car and I didn't know your mom... yet.

I also missed the Who at the Coliseum on '79.

Zero, until Rick Springfield makes it in.

tonyc3742

Not many....most appear to be defunct in one way or the other before I was really able to go to concerts.

(Never saw Elton John - had tix to him this year before the world fell apart)
(Never saw Bowie - had tickets in 95 but my honeymoon collided with the date)
Elvis Costello
(Never saw Black Sabbath - had tix to a cancelled show - but have seen Ozzy a couple times)
Alice Cooper
(Never saw the Beastie Boys - we ALMOST had them and Rollins Band at my university, but someone was worried it would rain so they went to another school with indoor venue. It didn't rain.)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Kiss
Cheap Trick
Pearl Jam (they DID come to my uni, we signed them right before they exploded for Lolla 92; I chatted with Eddie Vedder about local restaurants without knowing who he was)
Def Leppard
Depeche Mode
Nine Inch Nails
