The No Other band, playing Gene Clark's 'No Other' live. Kathleen Edwards, now that she's come out of retirement. I can't think of a third. I've either seen them all, or they're dead.

Quite - it's not quite the same when they're OAPs too!
Done those, but if I could see the following at their peak, when they were breaking through:
Dire Straits
U2
Genesis
Black Sabbath
Blondie for starters................
....and Dylan, obviously.
Probably wouldn't bother as they are now though.
Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper
Rebels & Albion
As unlikely as it is to ever happen, The Jam
System Of A Down
Rush

Good thread. I actually thought about this a few years ago. Everyone including myself was hurtling towards the grave. List read.
Neil Young
Bruce Springsteen
Leonard Cohen
Tom Waits
Paul Simon
I'm seeing Paul Simon next month in Manchester and that will complete the list.
We can all die happy.

Saw the Who at Wembley in 1975 - fantastic, then at the Southampton Rose Bowl in 2007(?)) - oh dear.
High energy rock bands do not seem the same when they're wrinklies like us!
On points scoring! - got to see Genesis about four times back in the early 1970s (Nursery Crimes era), and Dire Straits at the Brighton Centre in 1981/2ish.

Top tip for Neil Young / The Cure, when they start playing 'Like a Hurricane'/ 'A Forest' you've got plenty of time to nip to the bar.

Drive By Truckers at the Concorde in the new year. Saw them there a couple of years ago and they were absolutely superb.

First gig I ever went to was to see The Smiths at Brighton Dome in 1985, was bloody good but also bloody loud, my ears were ringing for days after. Still got the ticket stub somewhere.

I was at that Smiths gig, but as I remember it, it was the support band, James, who were deafeningly loud. My ears were ringing until the Wednesday after.

Nearest I got to Genesis was Worthing Town Hall, when they were supporting Lindisfarne - and I couldn't get in. Could have seen Lindisfarne for free, because half the audience came out at half time, after Genesis, and gave away their tickets!Saw the Who at Wembley in 1975 - fantastic, then at the Southampton Rose Bowl in 2007(?)) - oh dear.

But at a push maybe The who.

Yeah same for me, 'Such a shame'
Mark Hollis has retired, I've seen lot of shows over the years and this ranks as my absolute number one musical wish.
