I was in the right area at the right time but just not aware of what was around.
I saw them a few times and they were great. Feel a bit uncomfortable about enjoying Ian Curtis's on-stage behaviour with the hindsight that he was both ill and emotionally frail.
Probably most wish I'd seen Dylan and the Band at their peak. Or any of Miles Davis's bands from the fifties or sixties.
I saw Stevie at Hammersmith. Amazing.
A few years later, he came to play there again. I had a ticket but he died just a couple of weeks before the gig. Very sad.
I've seen bands like Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Black Sabbath at points when they weren't their 'classic' line up (which again is always open to argument), but they've always been great.
60's and 70,s - The Stones, Pink Floyd, The Commodores, Earth, Wind and Fire, Roxy Music, The Kinks, The Beatles, Iron Butterfly performing In-a-Gadda-da Vida.
The best I have seen - Bowie, Jethro Tull, Slade, Peter Gabriel.
Would have loved to have seen Pulp and Radiohead (1st 3 albums only though)
I was lucky enough to see Radiohead and Pulp fairly early on - first time I saw Radiohead was when "Creep" was out and they only had one album's worth of material. I wasn't impressed
They got a lot better, obviously. Reached a peak, I'd say, around OK Computer and the brilliant 1997 Glastonbury Festival appearance.
I saw Pulp several times before they got famous in the time just prior to the His and Hers album when they were still touring stuff from Separations and the Babies and Razzmatazz singles. They were brilliant. In smaller venues Jarvis was very comfortable drifting off into little stories and observations for the audience in between songs.
EDIT: Bands I would have liked to have seen: Joy Division, The Smiths, Pink Floyd when Rog was still in the band.
I forgot to dd Blondie to my list but I'm finally seeing them in July.
Bob Dylan too but when he was younger. People either say he's really really great live or really really shit now. Saying that, I think I'd still go if he did some more shows here.
PJ Harvey she's one of my favourite artists ever and I still haven't saw her live.
I saw Hole a few years back but it was the new line up and I was only there because it's Courtney Love. I would like to of seen the Celebrity Skin line up.

Wow, a real long time, and original member too.
He is brilliant, as are the rest of them. You really should see them, they are truly superb.
Rory Gallagher
Roy Buchanan
Duane Allman with the Allman Brothers Band

I want to see Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.

Too young for The Beatles, The Kinks & Queen (when they were good)
Did manage to see Nirvana, Guns & Roses, Oasis, Blur, REM, Green Day though (as well as loads of smaller bands)

I saw Reef a few years ago at the Shepherds Bush Empire.
Dominic the drummer is a 'stand in' drummer for another reformed band at the moment.
Hopefully, Reef will never die as they are amazing.

I saw The Smiths over 20 times. They never disappointed.

To be fair he was always a bit of a knob even back in the day !
Also, Queen and I wouldn't mind seeing Muse either.
Guns n Roses at their peak
James Brown at his peak
Freddie Mercury/Queen
Vegas Elvis (the early Vegas years though)

I am now officially jealous
Saw FNM a couple of times - once at the Barrowlands (they came on doing star jumps) and once supporting GnR at Gateshead. They were amazing both times
