I love lots of 70s hard rock bands, and would loved to have seen them in their prime, rather than generally coasting it from the late 80s when I started going to concerts.

If I'd to pick one, it would be Sensational Alex Harvey Band, 1975ish. Their Christmas shows at the Glasgow Apollo were supposedly out of this world.

AC/DC with Bon Scott on vocals (They were still good with Brian when I saw them though. Ozzys band with the late Randy Rhoads on guitar. UFO with Michael Schenker on guitar. Never saw Iron Maiden in their prime for some reason.

Been to see Floyd on the last night of their last tour. Seen Roger waters a few times and David Gilmour once both amazing. See the eagles a couple of years ago and also Metallica. Really looking forward to seeing the foos this year. Running out of big bands to see as so many dying or quitting

Type O Negative. Saw them in 95 but I was young and not an avid fan then, so can't remember much about it.

Somewhere In The Ether…

Jean-Michel Jarre’s, Paris La Defense concert in 1990.

I’ve seen it on video many times and it clearly was one hell of a spectacle; a huge pyramid stage, the buildings all lit up with intricate laser displays and more fireworks than you can shake a stick at.

Sadly I was not there

Oldham or South Shore

I would have preferred to have seen At The Drive-In before they split. I saw them a couple of years ago when they reformed and did the circuit, but both I ame they had aged some, so the excitement and atmosphere wasn’t as electrifying.

Nirvana! I was 14 when Kurt died, and whilst I was devoted to them and was truly upset when he died, I was too young to have seen them live.

The Smiths!

Bowie when he was touring Ziggy Startdust.

I had the chance to go to Köln to watch Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore, but I second guessed myself and didn’t buy a flight.

I'd have loved to go to Live Aid back in the 80s

Even as a kid I loved music, after watching all the U.K. coverage, my dad woke me up at 2am as ge knew I wanted to watch Phil Collins play in Philadelphia

‘92-‘94 would have been the time to see them for me; post-‘95 Phil got himself pretty messed up and things weren’t right between them all. Awesome band and music nonetheless.

My mama saw Bowie as Ziggy in the 70s. I’d like to pop back there and see Bowie whilst giggling at her.

Sheffield

There are two gigs I really, really regret not going to in my life.

The first was the Rollercoaster gig at Sheffield Arena in '92. That was My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, Dinosaur Jr and Blur.

The second was the Primal Scream & The Orb Miners Benefit Show, also '92 and also Sheffield Arena. If time travel was possible I'd go back and do them both. Except I'm 45 rather than 15!

There was a really small Libertines gig in a pub in Glasgow last year that I still kick myself for not going to.

"Jean-Michel Jarre’s, Paris La Defense concert in 1990.

Sadly I was not there

Similar but I would love to have seen the 1986 Rendezvous Houston concert; at the time it was the biggest live show ever with an estimated audience of over a million people.

Derby

Did live aid, seen meatloaf, Madonna a couple of times, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie nicks, and many many more years ago.

Would have loved to have seen Tom Petty.

At some point before I’m in a box I want to go to America and see some country acts, not necessarily sell out stadiums but smaller acts in a small club or bar.

I’ve been a fan of Molly Hatchet since the 70’s. I saw them on their 40th Anniversary Tour despite none of the original members being in the band (all passed on unfortunately). It was utter rubbish, just made me more frustrated and sad I didn’t see them back in the day.

I was fortunate to see Oasis at Knebworth, mind blowing. I'd give almost anything to have seen Queen at live aid though.

I was at that knebworth gig!! It was cool.. but I thought they were better in a small venue… first time I saw them at the old granby halls in Leicester they were epic!!!

This might sound mad.. I would have loved to have gone to an ABBA gig when they were in their prime…
