Bands you wished you'd seen and bands you did see

[Bombo]

wished I'd seen
The clash, the specials (putting that right in may), the jam and bob Marley

Did see
The smiths, the stone roses

This thread Is cos my uncle saw the above bands and I was jealous of him as I was too young at the time but lads younger than me are jealous that I saw the smiths and the roses
In their pomp who are the bands you'd wished you'd seen and didn't and who are the ledgendary ones you did?

Wished i'd seen The Clash and The Jam (although did see Weller on his comeback tour after the Style Council split and he did Town Called Mailce and Man in the Corner Shop - he was supported by Ocean Colour Scene too, about 4 years before Moseley Shoals), and somehow missed out on seeing The Smiths. Also turned down a ticket to see REM on the Life's Rich Pageant tour - they've gone off the boil in recent years, but that album is fucking brilliant.

Did see - Killing Joke, Chameleons, Chili Peppers (in socks on cocks and smeared in bright neon paint mode), Jesus and Mary Chain (all 5 mins of it).

One of the funniest gigs I ever saw was a bunch of LA Samoan rappers called the Boo Yaa Tribe (Boo Yaa - sound of a shotgun) and these fellas the size of fridge freezers proceeded to destroy the actual stage. They caused £1,000's pounds worth of damage and their tour was cancelled with immediate effect.
