    Would have loved to have seen:

    Pink Floyd - Barrett era
    Syd Barrett's STARS gigs
    Pink Fairies - 1970/1971 classic lineup
    Pink Fairies - 1973 lineup with Larry Wallis (WHY have you never rescheduled the 2007 final sendoff gig at the Roundhouse? Sciatica my arse :-()
    The Velvet Underground - 1965/1967 classic lineup
    The Undertones - Fergal Sharkey, you sir are a cunt. Just sign on the dotted line and do a one-off tour.
    The Smiths - Stephen Morrissey, please see above comment...
    The Damned - original lineup
    The Associates - oh Billy, why did you have to do it?
    Big Country - Stuart, your legacy will live on forever

    I always wanted to see the Sex Pistols and finally saw them at the M.E.N Arena in 2007, fucking great gig and ticking another one off the list when go and see The Buzzcocks in December :)

    Seen Metallica 3 times, the 1st was the Master of Puppets tour '86 just before Cliff Burton died...


    Another missed chance would be to see Led Zeppelin.

    Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jeff Buckley are the bands I would like to have seen. Yeah, I have seen Plant & Page a number of times in concert but not the original group.

    Fish and chips is probably half of that now! Couple in the bus ride there and back and you're lucky to be able to buy anything from poundland!

    The Pound used to be worth something...

    Also, believe it or not, the music industry was less greedy.

    Yeah, saw a few bands in Bradford without shelling out a fortune.

    Iron Maiden: £7 IIRC.
    Saxon: £6
    Twisted Sister: (can't remember, but it was under £10)
    Dio: Less than a tenner
    Kiss: Can't remember cost
    Ozzy: (But that was in Leeds, £6)


    There are a few more, can't recall atm.

    I think there'd be too many to list for me!

    There are some venues I'd love to have experienced, though - The Cavern, The Marquee (Wardour Street and indeed the original), CBGBs, some local venues that are long gone, and many more!

    In my lifetime, the one person I regret not seeing when I had the chance was Les Paul.

    I guess a few big ones would be The Beatles, The Jimi Hendrix Experience (before Noel left), Led Zeppelin, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Bill Haley & The Comets, The Clash... but yeah, loads!
