Favourite bands you never saw

Posted by: blythe on 16 March 2017

Having read with interest the "best concert" thread, it made me think of a few favourite bands I never saw.
Who do you really wish you'd seen?

Two of mine were: Talk Talk and, City Boy.
Both were absolute firm favourites of mine at the time (and still) but I never had the opportunity to see them.

Cake. Lucinda Williams. Lou Reed. Roxy Music. Beach Boys.

Roxy Music - I saw them at Leicester Granby Halls and it was one of my all time favourite gigs. Sorry to tell you that!

Confining myself only to those that were contemporaneously feasible and that I could have seen had I been quicker off the mark/ could yet see...

10cc, Dire Straits, London Wainwright, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, Pink Floyd, B.B.King...

and a second category I'd add - artists I have seen, but wish I'd seen earlier in their careers and in smaller venues:

The Who, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Led Zep, Clapton, Jeff Beck, U2...

10cc, Pink Floyd and Keith Urban - all brilliant.
Keith Urban is often maligned as a "ladies" performer.
He is one truly great singer, songwriter and guitarist - I've seen him 5 times!
Bowie I missed but I have seen U2 and The Stones :-)

Wow - for me, in particular Derek and The Dominos must have been amazing!

Oh, I missed The Beatles who played at Litherland Town Hall and St John's Hall in Bootle in 1960/1961 but I was only 4 at the time!
