concerts you missed and are kicking yourself for

[all the same]

I, in my frequent state of retardation, forgot to go to a concert once. I had tickets for Buffy Sainte-Marie and completely forgot about the show until my sister called at around 10:30 and said "Uhhhh... wasn't Buffy tonight?" Apparently the show was fantastic and I can't believe I missed it!

Another was in 1996, I think. The Cure played in Vancouver and I was a student at the time, so clearly couldn't go. Word on the street is they sang Love Cats and played for like three hours. Sigh...

My mother missed an opportunity to see Elvis by one day. She still is "reeling! It hurts [her] feelings!" over it! And I'm pretty sure "it hurts [her] self esteem. it hurts [her] everything!"

My dad missed a chance to see Roy Orbison and kicks himself over that one too. And the reason! They got too drunk to make it! WHAAAAT???? Yet, funny!
