I can’t imagine seeing a better live rock’n’roll band than The Faces or Queen at Live Aid. Other nominations?

Saw The Faces reunion in 2015 at Hurtwood Park, but would have loved to see them in their heyday.

I saw Queen at Wembley on the Live Magic tour. A very memorable gig. [MENTION=38]Beach Hut[/MENTION] saw them at Knebworth on the same tour...which turned out to be Freddie’s last show.
Bands I wish I’d seen, and was able to see, are The Clash and Daft Punk. Over 35 years of extensive gigging I have seen every other band I have ever wanted to witness.
PS I don’t do the wish-I’d-seen-Hendrix etc because I wasn’t alive. I don’t worry about things I clearly could never have done.

Every music thread has been done a bazillion times before, unless of course you are a one of a kind genius.

Queen with Freddie. That's it for me.

Nirvana. I was at Reading to see them, but it was dead rainy, like, and the most gushing of all were the tearducts of my cohort on the Sunday morning. Some of his clothes were stolen, so he asked for us to return home. Alright, we were 16, but I have never forgiven him for those unmanly wailings, and costing us the chance to see the mighty Cobain.
I'd have liked to have seen Elliott Smith when not on drugs too - me, not him. Pills and Elliott aren't a match, I feel. Well, afterwards, maybe, but not during.

Saw them in Brighton May 8, 1971 and again at Crystal Palace Bowl, London, ENG (Garden Party, supporting Pink Floyd, with Mountain & Quiver) May 16, 1971.
Great live band.
Big regret that I never saw the Jam or Queen live.

Joy Division - I was far too young.
The Clash - ditto.
The Jam - just about old enough, but for some reason we never saw them, despite going to so many gigs in that era.

Beatles, Faces and Hendrix (was offered tickets for IOW 1970 but didn’t take them up).
Pleased to have seen Petty and Queen in their prime.

He's doing well then - unlike most of the others on my list he's still alive!
