Bands you regret not seeing

Which group/singer/band would you love to see that doesn't exists anymore? Be it from breakup or death. There are many great former bands but the two I would have loved to have a chance to see are Nirvana and Rage Against The Machine.

I would definitely have to say Operation Ivy. Rancid is alright, but we all know they were so much better in the Op. Ivy days. But if you're talking about any genre of music, I would have loved to gotten to see Sinatra and Miles Davis together (or seperate).

The original GnR would be on my list also.

The Beatles but they broke up before i was born so i didn't ever have much chance of seeing them.

Frank Zappa
Jaco Pastorius
Faith No More
Pantera

Here they are in order:

Gorky Park
Dire Straits
Mcauley Schenker Group - M.S.G
Focus
Babe Ruth
Cream

Defunct:

Captain Beefheart
Thirteenth Floor Elevators

Still a chance:

Gallon Drunk
Tom Waits

Thought I would never see but got to see:

Pere Ubu
Diamanda Galas
Dead Kennedies
Philip Glass Ensemble
MC5

and a few dozen others
A relatively short list from a survivor of 1500+ diverse gigs.

nirvana
screaming trees
alice in chains

Pink Floyd!!!!!!!!
Doors
Supertramp
Black Sabbath
Bob Marley and the Whailers

... among MANY others.

Seen: 1981, 2003.

Both great. 2003 funnier for the dance party crowd bopping to four 60-year old Germans with laptops. Only Ralf and Florian remain from the original lineup. Both nice guys.

Orginal GNR lineup
KISS when they came to the area
The Doors
Queen
Bob Marley

Their most recent release at the time was Computer World. I played a few bars on a calculator in "Pocket Calculator", they had a few toys passed around the moshpit. Otherwise all their old standards Trans Europe Express, Autobahn, Robots, Man Machine, The Model etc.

Their graphics and light show hasn't progressed much - still just as cheesy and fun.

mine would be boxcar racer (i m not sure if you heard of them...) but it was made up of two members of blink182, Tom and Travis and two other members, and they were the serious politcal side of blink182, but they broke up because it almost broke up blink182...
which is okay since i LOVE BLINK182. but i really liked bcr `s music.
