Out of every music artist through time, who are the main 2 artists that you are disappointed you never got to see live?

For me, Michael Jackson, Jimmy Hendrix and the Beatles (1960’s Beatles)

That is one I’ve missed in my top 3! Chester Bennington was incredible!

Saw Good Charlotte in Birmingham and the venue played in the end over the speakers before they came on. The crowd sang every lyric! That was emotional as it was just after he died!

Queen at Knebworth in '86. I wasn't old enough to drive so relied on the 'with coach' packages for gigs far away and although there were still tickets to the gig available the local travel company we used had sold out. "Ah... well... it doesn't matter" I shrugged "I'll just go to the next one instead......."

I love how different everyone is, but in this instance in quite a lengthy thread I’m surprised that only 1 person has named a band/concert that I agree with! (No point saying who, it’s not about actual taste, and no-ones is wrong … well, not wrong enough to be a dick over in a forum thread…
