FabSwingers.com forum: Which live band ?

One band I really wish I'd got to see live is Queen ! Still remember watching them open at Band Aid & wishing I was there.

INXS too - my sis was lucky enough to see them.

AC/DC - would love to see live!

Any bands/singers you wished you'd seen before they passed away or split up or are top of your "to do" list

Led Zep, never saw them, Original Deep Purple, Rainbow when Dio was vocalist, saw them later with Graham Bonnet. Queen, missed out on seeing Freddie live and Thin Lizzy with Phil Lynott

Saw Bowie, LedZep, Genesis, Floyd, Yes, the Who, The Stones, Thin Lizzy...most of them on one good year back in the 70's.

I would like to have seen Gary Moore, and more of Phil Lynott. Thin Lizzy used to play down a local poly and were the only band that could get a thousand loon-wearing hippie types up off their backsides and bouncing off the walls!

I saw the original line-up at Donington in '84, numerous times with Hagar over the years and I saw them on the first reunion tour with Dave in Ft Lauderdale.

Back in the day the only band that came close to them was AC/DC.

4 of us walked there that year, seemed like a good idea at the time after leaving The Rockhouse at 3am slightly the worse for wear

A few years ago I saw Wayne Kramer accompanied by Mick Jones and Billy Bragg play Kick Out The Jamms in a pub in Camden. I've been to hundreds if gigs in the last 25 years but that was a real highlight.

I've also seen Nirvana twice and fail to understand the pedestal they are on. Underwhelming at best. Though not as underwhelming as early Radiohead who I saw twice as a support act in pubs very early on and had only one decent tune.

Bands I'd like to have seen. The Clash. Joy Division. The Smiths. Fugazi

Brother Wayne is my favourite guitarist of all time. Mick Jones is my second

I saw Mick with the Stone Roses at a Justice Tonight gig just before they reformed for Heaton Park. I don't even like the Stone Roses that much, but it's a good story

The best time to have seen The Beatles would have been Hamburg or the Cavern. Once they made it, they went downhill as a live band, because no one could hear them and they lost interest in performing.
