I guess the recent loss of Johnny Cash, Warren Zevon and others have left us pondering this subconsciously. Post the bands/artists you have yet to see live.

For me:

- Beastie Boys
- Aerosmith
- The Allman Brothers
- U2 (went to PopMart and Zooropa tours, had tickets to their last show in Chicago but missed it, need to see them one more time!)
- Red Hot Chili Peppers (why do I keep missing them?)
- AC/DC (do they still tour?)
- Foo Fighters
- Cake
- Britney Spears (just wanna see her once, I swear!)
- Rolling Stones (just for their legendary status)
- KISS (again, for the legendary status)

The ones I've missed:

- Nirvana (became a fan too late)
- Sublime (fan too late)
- Guns 'n Roses (will never be the original band again)
- Soundgarden (again, fan too late)
- Rage Against the Machine (saw them open for U2 once, but never a whole set.)

The ones I was lucky to see:

- Big Pun
- Aaliyah
- Thievery Corporation @ 18th Street Lounge
- a great Pearl Jam concert in Raleigh...don't think their shows'll ever get better

I've seen most of my favorite bands multiple times, However I'd love to see Bloodbath, Katatonia with Akerfeldt, Dark Tranquillity, Abigor, and Isacaarum. I'd also like to see opeth for a 6th time.

i had tix to the beastie boys ratm show a few years ago.
but mike d supposedly crashed his bike and hurt his shoulder so the tour was cancelled
ratm ended up breaking up the next month after that was announced, i think the bike injury was a convenient excuse.
i was disappointed.
lets see beck... i missed that one because of snow/ice storm.
i missed RHCP back in june, had tix, but sold them, i couldnt get off of work.
but i have already seen RHCP, with foo fighters a couple of years ago.

i cant think of any of the top of my head right away. ive seen most bands artists i would wanna see.
U2 would be good.

Hmm.. this thread might be more interesting(=longer) if we list the bands we want to see die before we heard them.
