Who's top of your list of bands/acts not yet seen live but desperate to?

[Frutos]

- Eagles
- Fleetwood Mac
- Alan Jackson

I've been lucky enough to have been able to tick off most of my list over the years, with the exception of the one I can never have (Queen/Freddie).

 

[Garage_Doors]

I've genuinely never heard of a single band in the OP's list

It was so much easier keeping up when Top of the Pops was on every week.

I wanted to post the same but feared being called a dinosaur.

 

[The Modfather]

The Horrors

Had a ticket for their Worthing show last Friday, but as I only got to bed at 2.30am after seeing The Besnard Lakes in London the previous evening, and making the mistake of having a pre-gig early evening 'nap' that lasted to about ten pm, it means they as yet still remain unseen

Shame, you missed a great gig

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Would have paid extortionate cash AND missed an Albion game to witness the Small Faces live.

That said, John Grant.

 

[The Modfather]

Miles Kane.
Tame Impala
Strypes

 

[Driver8]

Talking Heads. Unlikely to ever happen now.

 

[Mackenzie]

I like a bit of Fleetwood Mac, so them probably.

 

[Bladders]

- Eagles
- Fleetwood Mac
- Alan Jackson

I've been lucky enough to have been able to tick off most of my list over the years, with the exception of the one I can never have (Queen/Freddie).

I made a decision years ago that I would only go see the Eagles if Meisner and Felder were back in the line up.

Never gonna happen.

 

[7:18]

Besides my favourite band who I know I will never get to see live unless I travel to the USA, I'd go for U2.

 

[Bladders]

I wanted to post the same but feared being called a dinosaur.

So far I've recognised about 5 acts in the whole thread and 3 of those are in Frutos's post

 

[bhafc99]

Joy Division. Ain't going to happen.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

The main ones I've probably missed out completely, Pavement and Dinosaur Jr.

Oh and Nirvana which is obviously never going to happen.

I saw **** Buttons at Primavera and it was probably one of the most life affirming dance like a mentalist and dont nobody care things I've been to. A lot of fun.

 

[Spider]

Finally ticked QOTSA and Arcade Fire off my list this summer, whilst seeing other bands (Interpol & Mew) for the 6th and 4th times respectively.

Now top of my list are:

iamamiwhoami
M83
Baths
Junior Boys
Moderat
F*** Buttons
Douglas Dare
Washed Out
Tycho
How To Dress Well
Future Islands - missed them at The Great Escape

I'd welcome reviews (good or bad) on any of the above, if any have seen them.

Seen **** Buttons twice - once ages ago at Green Man, and once last year at Concorde 2. They are amazing live - obviously like any electronic act there isn't really a lot to 'see', other than some pretty lights, but they make the kind of music that just benefits from being heard loud, and with other people. Also saw M83 at Primavera - they were really good, although I'm not a huge fan other than Midnight City, so that was an obvious highlight.

My number one act to see that I haven't yet, having ticked off Arcade Fire and Neil Young and Crazy Horse in last year or so, would be Prince. By a long long long long way. I'd also love The Replacements to do a proper reunion tour. Would love to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds as well. Of current acts that I've just missed out on for whatever reason, I'd agree with Future Islands (how did I not know about them at Primavera?). Never seen Interpol - had a few chances to, but can't really muster the effort when I know that so long after TOtBL and Antics it would be a disappointment.

 

[Machiavelli]

In terms of what's available, it's Tom Waits hands-down.
And just to make a few others jealous, I saw Elliott Smith three or four times, an ear-splittingly loud and brilliant Dinosaur Jr in 1989, Kraftwerk twice, a fantastic show from David Byrne (playing Eno stuff) at The Dome, and F*** Buttons three times: they're also ear-splittingly loud and brilliant.

 

[Tarpon]

Well if we're talking time travel - these off the top of my head:

James Brown
Velvet Underground
The Upsetters
Chet Baker
Elvis Presley
Mahalia Jackson
The Stooges
Joni Mitchell
Captain Beefheart
Robert Johnson
Joy Division
Little Richard

I've pretty much seen everyone I've wanted to see except for:-
1.Bowie
2.Daft Punk
3.Interpol of whom I've had tickets to Brixton x 2 first time couldn't make it, but the second time earlier this year I ended up travelling towards London on the Friday when they played the night before (pissed off is an understatement).

From your list I've seen M83 at the Concorde 2 and Washed Out at the Brundenell in Leeds both very good.

 

[Reagulls]

Daft Punk and Pink Floyd... With or without waters..

 

[Geestar]

Like most there are quite a few I want to see but at the top of the list of who I haven't seen has to be Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

 

[tomfitz12]

would be nigh on impossible but would LOVE to see eminem

 

[Mellotron]

Actually Daft Punk is a great shout.
