concerts you missed and are kicking yourself for

[gldstwmn]

I honestly can't think of one.

Ahem Lisa, Im waiting for your post.......

the Mac themselves, July of 2003..... I didn't have my job yet and couldn't afford the $100 for close seats

[Jessica Leigh]

Joni Mitchell in Orange County in May 2000... tickets were only $40 but i was beyond broke and i was living in Santa Barbara at the time with a Mustang with 245,000 miles on it so doing a 2 1/2 hour drive was a major risk. i thought to myself "ah it's ok, she'll do more live shows..." so far, she hasn't done one. i loooooove her

I LOVE Joni Mitchell too! I saw her play the Edmonton Folk fest in 1993. The thing is, I only knew her earlier work at the time and had no idea her voice had changed so much from all the years of smoking. So, I was expecting her to sound like Blue or Ladies of the Canyon. At the time, I was really disappointed in her voice. So, that is one concert I would really like to experience again. 'Cause in retrospect, she was fantastic but at the time I didn't appreciate it. WOULD LOVE to see her again and she truly never plays live. Like maybe MAYBE one show a year.

Stevie - RAL - Tons of promotion in Philly that year, and I go to see the Chicago 17 concert.
FM - Shake The Cage - My then girlfriend went with her friend.
Mellencamp - 1987 - My college roommate & I almost went.
Warren Zevon - I can't believe I never got around to catching him when I had the chance.

New Order this year, should've gone to Sweden to see them a while ago, but couldn't find anyone to attend the festival they were playing in with. And now I wish I would've gone there alone.

[Mari]

^ yeah, dito. Hope we get a second chance next year though.

also: u2 in 97/98 maybe.

Not going to count all those mac concerts in the USA since I've became a fan, I simply didn't have the money so that was out of reach anyway.

I saw them in New York City in April... and i'm so glad i did, cuz i will probably never ever get to go to their shows again, seeing as how the last time they came to the USA was in 1993...

Joni Mitchell's last tour, with orchestra. I will forever regret missing that one.

Fleetwood Mac September 2003 at the Fleet Center Boston.. I was poor and had no vacation time left to take but I wish I could have been there.

And after reading all the concert reviews from Stevie's current tour, I wish I could have seen her when she was here on the east coast but again the money factor

I would have loved to have seen Journey in 1981-1983.

Sadly, there have been a regrettable few:

1. 1976 - Pink Floyd - Anaheim Stadium, CA
2. 1977 - Lynard Skynard - Anaheim Stadium, CA
3. 1997 - Fleetwood Mac - Rose Garden, Portland, OR
4. 2002 - The Cure - Tempodrom, Berlin
5. 2005 - Stevie Nicks - Red Rocks, CO

1. I missed because my b/f and I broke up just before the show - 500 people were arrested that night for possession of pot.

2. I missed because my friend and I got tickets then b/f wouldn't let me go because we didn't get him one. Their plane crashed shortly after that show.

3. Day late and a dollar short.

4. Ditto.

5. Just dollar short.

I have attended MANY excellent shows over the years, including The Ramones, Bowie, The Stones and U2 coming up. So unless I want to change my last name to "Banger" - I shouldn't be too upset over the ones I missed. Numbers 1, 3 and 4 cause me the most grief tho.. mostly because there will never be another chance for shows on the same magnatude.
