Luckily seen Bowie numerous times, mostly quite brilliant bar the Glass spider tour which was a mess right from the start and probably his weakest ever tour. Showman is an understatement he is probably the most iconic musician still alive in my view. Was and always will be way ahead of his time in understanding sound and vision.

I like a lot of the Beatles later stuff and to this day find Strawberry Fields Forever to me is perhaps one of the greatest music tracks ever and to some people I am quite certain would not believe when they recorded that.

For me I have a simple one - Hall and Oates, always thought they were a brilliant band in their time and still are.

The two bands who I haven't seen and would love to see are The Allman Brothers and The Grateful Dead.
I've seen Greg Allman on his own, Devon Allman on his own and with Royal Southern Brotherhood and Dickey Betts with Great Southern but it would be wonderful to see the band all together. I realise it's not the same without Duane but would like to see them. They'll never come over though.
Never seen any of the Dead and,again,after Jerry Garcia died it wouldn't really be the same but would be fun. Again it's highly unlikely that they will ever come over

Saw Hall & Oates at Hammersmith this year, brilliant and a huge tick of the list for me.

Would love to see Gabriel, Hackett, Banks, Rutherford, Collins lineup of Genesis. Was born a bit too late. Also Yes circa 1978 were by all accounts incredible live.

Desperate to, only Killing Joke, but I fear that ship has sailed. They played a greatest hits show here at a small sub 1,000 capacity venue in May last year (or was it this year, my memory is so shite nowadays) and I was on holiday with my family. You can't have it all.

The Glass Spider tour was crap wasn't it? I saw that at Wembley Stadium, huge let down.

It was dire, we were annexed in Birmingham at the time so saw it at Maine Road as was.

The only redeeming factor was Frampton was in the touring band.

Radiohead, Daft Punk and Prince. I'm lucky in that I have seen everyone else.

Actually add Ty Segall and Kate Bush to my list. Just remembered I cannot see Ty next month.
