Watching the "story of wish you were here" on axstv right now
Those guys never "got along"

Yeah! My fav's are WYWH and Animals, both recorded at a time of major drama within the band.

I had a chance to see Nirvana and Alice in Chains in around '92 I think and didn't get to go.

I agree Talking Heads for sure and Nirvana/Alice In Chains would've been killer.
My list would be,from bands/groups i had a chance to see,some still do.
Depeche Mode
The Cure
The Cranberries
Duran Duran
Queensryche
REM
Anthrax
Springsteen
Cinderella
Skid Row(moreso back in the day)
Guns N Roses
The Fixx

A lot of other 80's bands i would've liked to seen.

Talking Heads.

Unfortunately I was only 3 at the time, but man I’d give a lot to have seen them when they were touring with Adrian Belew as part of the band. If anyone hasn’t seen it, look for the Live in Rome show on YouTube. Incredible.

Paging KC Dan.

I remember a Van Halen concert in Vegas he regrets missing I'm sure.

I'll tell the story a bit later if he doesn't show up.

The original Guns n Roses, when they were the baddest dudes on the block

The Heads are one of my all time favorites and were in their prime while I was in my my teens and twenties. I should have made a determined effort to see them before they broke up.

I agree about the Rome show. They were a great live band. The Name of This Band is Talking Heads is very under appreciated, IMO.

Pink Floyd back in the Dark Side/Wall days. The Sex Pistols. The Clash. Iron Maiden or Judas Priest when they were unknown and in small venues (I've seen them both in arenas). Van Halen. Boston. Talking Heads. Alice in Chains. Nirvana or Pearl Jam when they were unknown. Mother Love Bone. Jimi Hendrix. The Beatles. Shit, you could go on and on, there have been so many great acts...

Gotta add My Morning Jacket at Red Rocks. While I was physically there, I didn't account for the altitude and got way wasted and don't remember anything past the 1st song. Still exceedingly upset with myself over that one. The videos look incredible. :/

Had:
Led Zeppelin
Kiss

Updating my list:

Frank Sinatra
Elvis
Queen
Elvis Costello and the Attractions
B-52's
David Bowie
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Eagles
Fleetwood Mac
Heart
Motley Crue
Jackson 5
