Who didn’t you get to see live but never did? Maybe because they split up or they just died.

I’d have loved to see Marvin Gaye or Miles Davis and the original line ups of the Who and the Stones.

I saw them a couple of times when Lemmy was still well, they were great.

I wish I'd seen Tom Petty, I'd just started liking his music a few years ago then he suddenly died

He was awful when I went. Accusations and history aside. He just stood there whilst people screamed. He was the epitome of ego. Something I don't really like.

Saw The Jam at Manchester Apollo 1982 Trans Global Express Tour. Awesome.

You can still see From the Jam with Bruce Foxton at various gigs, I've seen them 3 or 4 times over the years and it's worth it. Great songs and delivery.

Actually saw Motorhead by default as they were support to Queens of the Stone Age and The Foo Fighters who headlined at Hyde Park. Think they only did a few tracks but were still decent.
