I wish the Melvins would come back here cuz I missed them.... same deal with Dead Moon, Sonic Youth and Fugazi.
I would've like to have seen Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, MC5, Rocket From The Tombs, Velvet Underground when they were in their prime, not reunion tours.
....there's heaps of bands I wanna see! :D

Led Zeppelin would be at the top of my list.
The Melvins were cool live, BTW. I got to see them once in Seattle when they opened for Soundgarden. Great show.

Gabriel-era Genesis
mine as well.
i almost saw them on the trick of the tail tour (still a decent album even without gabriel) but i was grounded for some shit i got into.
i almost saw simple minds many years ago - but their tour bus/truck broke down on route to the venue.
i'd like to go back in time and see that one.
also - early Split Enz ... i wish i saw them live ..

not big on concerts anymore, but if these bands toured and came here, I'd go see them:
Faith No More
Pink Floyd
Modest Mouse
Animal Collective
but for the most part, I doubt I'll go to another concert

I was really into them (Rage Against the Machine) when their first album came out and up through Evil Empire. Then they kinda lost me afer that but the reason I really wish I could have seen them is because I should have been able to see them back when I was uber-into them. They toured with Wu-Tang Clan and me & about 5 of my friends had tickets to it. Long story made short... All 5 of my friends were going because they were fans of Wu-Tang, who canceled the night of the show, and all of my friends (and my ride to the show) decided to get their refunds. I didn't have my drivers license yet so I couldn't go on my own. Rage didn't ever get back to MN before they broke up so that has always irked me.
*shrug*
I did see Wu-Tang Clan since them though. ODB was in jail, but everyone else was there.

I also wish I had seen a gig at the astor in i think 1980, with the Birthday party and the go-betweens, I obviously was to young to see the birthday party, but the Go-betweens reformed in the late 90's and released some great albums, i couldn't afford to go to there shows last year and when i went to a grant mclennan solo show i missed him because he played second instead of last like was advertised. Then he died of a heartattack around may this year, for those who don't know he was one of the two songwriters of the go-betweens, so now i'll never see them or him.

Slayer. I first bought the "Show No Mercy" album (remember those?) back in 1983-84 and I have NEVER seen them live to this day. Damn!
I saw Pink Floyd in '94, and it was a life-changing experience! I also would have liked to have seen Elvis.

Kiss and AC/DC are good live. When I saw AC/DC, and they did the "For Those About to Rock" finale with the cannons, there was this big smoke ring coming out of one of the cannons. It was cool.

I just picked it up at the record store over here. I'd say you'd be able to get it at most of the usual places.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Slayer 2 times. the 1st first time was back in 91 @ the clash of the titans tour with Alice In Chains, Anthrax and Megadeth. Seeing Slayer is more like an ASSULT than a live show. :D
