FabSwingers.com forum: Band/artist you wished you seen but never can

I’m going to see Bohemian Rhapsody at the cinema this week and I also went to see Queen last year with Adam Lambert. I would have loved to have Queen with Freddie...especially at Live Aid.

Who do wish you could have seen and can’t now because they are dead or have broken up?

There and to the left a bit

The Clash and The Jam are the two I could have seen but for various reasons missed out on at the time.

The Specials minus Jerry Dammers were excellent a few years back but would have loved to have seen them with him on keyboards

On a Beastie Boys kick today, I'd have loved to see them when Adam Yauch was alive.

The Doors would be my usual choice.

Saw her in 1997 in Leeds was a really good show.

Fur be, it has to be Charlie Parker. In a smoky jazz club in Harlem back in the 1930'

S 40's.

That must have been amazing!

Then, of course, Jimi Hendrix or the doors.

Early Genesis: the Gabriel years. Dressed up in that red dress, with the fox's head.

Shakespears' Sister, when in 1992? they were playing at the bottom of my street. But had no advertising. Gutted that I missed out. Typical IOW!

Definitely Queen with Freddie Mercury, I was old enough when they were touring but never went to see them. Funny you mention it as we are planning on going to see Bohemian Rhapsody next week, It looks good.

I'd love to have gone to see Prince too.
