Bands/Artists you never got to see-Too late now!

[aron123]

Who are the bands and artist now deceased/broke up you wanted to see but never got the chance.
Top of my list would have to be Elvis, as a life long fan when he died i was devastated especially as i was saving to go to the U.S. to see him the following year.

So my list has to include-

Elvis
Little Richard (I think hes pretty much retired from rock n roll performing now)
Buddy Holly and the Crickets
Fats Domino
Sam Cooke
Otis Redding
The Kinks
The Supremes
The Beach Boys
Byrds
The Animals
The Doors
Jimi Hendrix
The Band
Pink Floyd
Free
Led Zeppelin
Simon and Garfunkel
Slade
Queen
AC/DC
The Bee Gees
Abba
Fleetwood Mac
Lynard Skynard
and finally new to the list-
Oasis

A great shame i will never get to see any of these great artist live, very sad.

Fleetwood Mac & AC/DC are still performing occasionally, but I guess they are listed as being unable to see them at their peak.

Well the peek is always better but i didn't realize Fleetwood Mac were together again.
As for AC/DC i lost interest when original lead singer Bon Scott died so there out.

As long as all members are still alive, a reunion could happen.
I've seen several bands in recent years who I thought would never reform, but did..
However, unlikely these will (not with original line-up anyway)

Be Bop Deluxe (Bassist dead)
Can (Guitarist dead)
Husker Du (might reform.. but I won't hold my breath)
The Associates (Singer dead. Had tickets to see them in the 80's, but they cancelled the tour)

Out of the OP's list, I've seen Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC (with Bon Scott and without), Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd

Blondie and The Police at the height of their powers in the 70s and would happily donate my body to science if I could ever get to see Talking Heads live.

The Guardian once gave away a DVD of the Stop Making Sense tour, which was great to watch.
