November 4, 201411 yr Jimmy Buffet Eagles (only If I can get Jim to go with me to give me play by play critique) Van Halen with Dave (Again) Pretty much seen everyone else that would go on my Bucket List...there are several I'd like to see but those would be near the top of the list.
November 4, 201411 yr If Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Pete Townsend, and Roger Daltry got together they'd have all the necessary instruments covered, and they could call themselves "The Whotles". I'd pay to see that. I never have, and would love to see: -Heart -The Who -ELO - w/Jeff Lynne -Led Zeppelin - (If they pulled something together w/Jason Bonham). -The Rolling Stones -CSN & Y - (It'll never happen) -KISS -Coldplay Edited November 4, 201411 yr by B-Ball-fan

November 4, 201411 yr I've seen pretty much everyone that would be on my list, except for U2. Never the biggest fan in the world, but certainly fan enough that I'd like to see them once.
November 6, 201411 yr I don't mean like, man I wish I'd seen the Beatles or Jimi Hendrix. Who is on your list to see that is alive today and you hope to see them before one of you leaves this earth. Mine would be Van Morrison, Tony Bennett and Tom Petty. I've had chances to see Petty and never made it there. I know he's probably an easier score than the other two logistically and age-wise so I really hope to go next time he tours. Who do you hope to see someday? I've seen Petty 14 times...............and counting:thumb:
November 6, 201411 yr Bob Dylan Neil Young Coldplay Abba (yes THAT Abba) Band of Horses Of Monsters and Men Social Distortion Snow Patrol
November 6, 201411 yr As far as legacy acts go, The Who is really the only one I can think of. Maybe the Stones, but those ticket prices make sure I don't even consider them. Same goes for U2 — might have wanted to see them 25 years ago. Not so much now. VH with DLR would qualify, but that's never gonna happen. Social D, as my buddy TTC mentioned. They're super groovy. The Pixies would be nice. Got to see The Replacements over the summer, as well as OutKast, so that's two biggies off my list that were very satisfying. Another Afghan Whigs show would be nice. As would another chance to see The Government Cheese. Through legacy shows at casinos and places like that, as well as a very active concert calendar in my 20s and 30s, there's just not much left I really, desperately want to see that I haven't already seen. Morrissey might be it.
November 6, 201411 yr I've never been a big concert person. For the most part, I'd rather just have the CD.
November 6, 201411 yr ELO would be at the top, I have seen most everyone else I want to see. Saw them in all their space ship glory in 1978.

Through legacy shows at casinos and places like that, as well as a very active concert calendar in my 20s and 30s, there's just not much left I really, desperately want to see that I haven't already seen. Morrissey might be it. First time I saw Morrissey was at Riverbend in Cincinnati, and instead of doing an encore he made some kind of snotty remark about the City and said that because Riverbend wouldn't let him conduct his show the way he had planned he would be cutting his show short. My concert buddy and I looked at each other and wondered what it was that we missed. We didn't care for his remark, but since we were free two nights later we decided to drive to Cleveland and take in a proper Morrissey show to find out what it was all about. Turns out that throughout the entire show he'd let fans one by one jump up on stage to hand him flowers and hang on him while he was crooning 'til he'd push them away for the next person to do the same. He never gave any fans any love back because he was so above all that. It was an outdoor show at Nautica Stage and since everyone was standing and dancing, the folding chairs only proved to be an obstacle. Just to clear a little space for myself I folded a few chairs to give myself some room. A few fans near me thought that it was a great idea and started madly folding and stacking chairs until it caught on as I watched in disbelief of the trend I had started where people where pushing chairs out of the way everywhere to open up a chair free pit. The next show I attended at Nautica a couple of years later was The Sex Pistols where there were no chairs in the pit and it made me wonder if I had played a part in leaving a permanent mark on the venue and how they'd set up for a show. Next time I saw Morrissey was at the Taft Theatre in Cincinnati where his attitude left an even nastier taste in my mouth about him where he'd make more snotty comments to the audience about what a dreadful city Cincinnati was and how he wondered how we could live with ourselves by living here, and went on to again cut his show short with no encore. Why blame us for the venue's policies? We were the paying fans, so at least he could've honored us for honoring him by paying the tickets prices to show up.
