Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bands (singers) you regret not seeing?

Aretha Franklin

He did a concert at UF back in 1968. I missed it, being at work. He and his entourage stopped by the gas station I was working at later that night on their way to another gig. I said I was a fan, and explained why I had to miss his show. He and the band played several songs for me. Got his autograph, which is still on my den wall.

I do believe my rock`n out days of Michigan Palace , Grande-Ballroom ,Castle Farms and Pine Knob are long over but would like to see these bands live !
If it`s too loud,your to old ...LOL
Five Finger Death Punch
Volbeat
Shinedown
Disturbed
Alter Bridge
Avenged Sevenfold

That's a bit of an iconoclastic lineup.

Yep. And it was a great show.

They played for HOURS. The Peppers had Zeppelin songs down.

Bonnie Raitt was good, too. I was more into her then though, with her showing her liberal ass now.

Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company
The Band (tho I did see Levon several times including one of his Midnight Rambles at his barn)
The Kinks
The Byrds
Lou Reed
Gram Parsons with Emmylou Harris
Eva Cassidy
Bob Marley
John Prine

(Everyone else I really wanted to see, I did)

Coulda seen Nirvana at a small bar on a Thursday night right before they broke big. Don't really care about Nirvana, never bought an album, but I was going and went to some chicks house instead.

I did see Foo Fighters on a double header with the Chili Peppers. That was a show.

I saw them in '88 at Rites of Spring in Nashville. I'd never heard of them

Had tickets to see Stevie Ray Vaughn in Louisville in summer of '89. I was working down the road in Frankfort. A friend was getting married so I sold the tickets.

I was in Nashville last February and was riding the elevator with a couple, I asked them what they were doing tonight and he said I'm friends with so-n-so,like I knew who that was, and I told him I didn't know, he said he was in the band Disturbed and they are playing at Bridgestone Arena tonight. I knew a couple of their songs and we talked just long enough for the elevator ride and I told them have a good time.

So my wife and I go to on our dinner date which was as it turns out, an Italian place right across from Bridgestone Arena,and who do we see but the couple. They are having dinner with the concert promoters. They recognized us and we stopped by their table. The promoter asked us if we wanted to get in to see the show. We thanked them but said we had already made plans (I wanted to to go Ernest Tubbs Record shop)

Nirvana and Pink Floyd, for me.

B.B. King
Pink Floyd (although I did listen to the entire Division Bell show from atop my sleeper in the lot of a [bleep] little truck stop 1/4 mile from Oakland Coliseum)
The Band
Townes Van Zandt
Johnny Cash

Have seen most of the good ones; their show would be in my top 5 i attended
