I would have liked to have seen Patti Smith in the late 70s
Joy Division
still want to see PJ Harvey, but never seem to make it
The Dandy Warhols - who rarely seem to tour

Jazz at the Philharmonic - mid 50's. On one stage you've got Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Gene Krupa etc all at their absolute peak.
Either that or Billie Holliday (with Chick Webb) during the Great Depression in whatever slum in Harlem she happened to be singing in.

Or this - for Withnail & I fans... he was said to have been killed days after but I heard that was apocryphal, there you go.

Great shout. I think he died a few months, certainly less than a year, later, rather than days...but still.
“As a visitor” that made me chuckle.

I'd quite like to have been at the gig where Bowie, without telling the band, informed the audience that this was their last gig

Yep - At the time I think this inaccurate bit of folklore fitted well with the Withnail theme of 'endings', it well befitted the film's vibe for people to believe that it was his tragic swansong. And I suppose blues is all the better for it's mythology.

Are they not still active?
Oh come on
Oh no, you won't be joining me. Shame.

Trouble is that if you're on the front row you would probably not appreciate the light show they had! Swings and roundabouts!!
