<p>Daft Punk, Modest Mouse, Gorillaz</p>
<p>Still on my list: Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones. I’m glad the Scorcese movie is coming out, though when I saw the previews I decided that “Keef” (as my S calls him) that up-close and personal is a little much. </p>
<p>Glad I saw before it was too late: the Grateful Dead, Traffic</p>
<p>geezermon, I saw Eric Clapton back in 1995 . he was at the top of my list to see , but he mostly just sang blues. I was a little disappointed. I like it when you see someone who has been making music for many years and they actually play the music that made them famous…
I don’t mind some new mixes in, but when the concert is purely for the purpose of promoting the most recent album, well you know.
On the other hand, I saw Steve Winwood many years back and her put on an awesome show…music from Spencer Davis Group to present day…now that is a concert !!</p>
<p>oh geezermom - when I read Eric Clapton, I sighed. Of course, he’d be at the top of my list; how could I forget. I can’t believe I’ve never seen him… what a classic. I think the couple of times he’s been around here, though, the tickets go so darn fast, and he’s one of the most expensive tickets to be had. But I think I need to bite the bullet the next time he’s around here.</p>
<p>I overlooked Eric Clapton too. I wish I had seen the Talking Heads. </p>
<p>I’d like to see Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Kathleen Edwards, and Nanci Griffith.</p>
<p>Steve Winwood did put on a great show - forgot about that concert. Dave Mason was great too - saw him in Key West many years ago. I saw the Doobie Brothers in concert and Billy Joel opened for them - no one had heard of him.</p>
<p>Oh my, Dave Mason forgot about him. he used to play at a little dive bar on Cape Cod when I was young…I saw him there.
Saw the Doobies Twice in high school. Back then tickets were so cheap it was easy to see whoever you wanted , as long as they were coming fairly close.</p>
<p>I also saw the Talking Heads back in the day…that was a good show, except for the fact that there was a small electrical fire ( so we heard ) forcing them to have the lights on during the show…first time at a concert with the lights on</p>
<p>saw Clapton in 1987 (or was it 89)</p>
<p>Saw Traffic open for the Grateful Dead at RFK in Dc and the Silverbowl in Vegas in 94.</p>
<p>Paul McCartney. Couldn’t go in 1976 so I had to wait an unbearable 14 years to see him in 1990</p>
<p>Never saw the Who live. I regret that.</p>
<p>
<br>
Ditto; totally agree</p>
<p>U2 is at the top of my list to see.
We recently saw B.B.King. Excellent show–even better than I expected.
Probably the best one I ever saw was Johnny Cash.</p>
<p>Have been lucky to see U2 many times. All because my D is a fanatic on them (definitely its her religion) and so got us all to figure out ways to go.</p>
<p>I saw the Who once, when the kids were babies–very glad to have the chance, even though the seat setup (floor of Giants stadium) was so bad that I only saw Pete Townsend’s arm and Roger Daltry’s mike.</p>
<p>Saw REM twice (again mostly cuz of D’s facilitating) both great. The second one was two days after the 2004 election–eleventh row seats at the GArden (thank you D). Whole family together. Instead of using it as the encore, as usual, in honor of the election they came out playing “It’s the End of the World as We Know It.” Overall, a stunning concert.</p>
<p>Just thought of another, i would love to see the Dropkick Murphys, especially on St. Patricks Day.</p>
<p>I wish I could see R.E.M. at the Greek theatre in May, but it is the same day we will be giving our son a graduation party. On a happier note we will be attending the Outside Lands Festival in SF in August. What a lineup!</p>
<p>Dropkick Murphy’s on St. Patty’s Day reminds me I’d love to see The Pogues. I did see The Chieftains once on St. Patty’s Day.</p>
<p>" Just thought of another, i would love to see the Dropkick Murphys, especially on St. Patricks Day."</p>
<p>Me too garland !
It is my daughter’s goal next St. Patrick’s day…she did get to see them in the parade for the Red Sox parade after winning the world series last fall…a highlite of living in Boston :)</p>
<p>Me three on the Dropkick Murphys…son introduced me to them & they are great! They do “Ramble & Roll” I think? That song makes me laugh so hard & I always listen to it to get motivated to run/accomplish something.</p>
<p>Yea for music of rowdy youth! lol</p>
<p>Would LOVE to see Melissa Etheridge this summer, looks like I’ll have to drive to Toronto to do it though…</p>
<p>Just bought tickets to Phil Lesh & Friends with Levon Helm this summer.</p>
<p>I would have liked to have seen U2 & Pearl Jam play last winter in Hawaii. ( I mean the winter before- I still haven’t gotten it framed- but it is stored well)
If any one knows Bono or the Edge, tell them that I already had Pearl Jam autograph the poster from that concert & if they sign it , I could have my retirement paid for! ;)</p>
<p>We did see the Who several times in the late 70’s when H & I met- I was more a Led Zep fan- and have barely forgiven H for making me miss the opportunity to see Eddie Vedder & Robert Plant trade verses of the first live performance of " Fool in the Rain", during a Katrina benefit concert at the Chicago House of Blues, on my birthday. ( thankgoodness for youtube)</p>
<p>I have seen Clapton- perform at a small theatre in Seattle- but that was after he started getting bad press for his behavior and I can’t enjoy a musician as much if I think he is an ass.</p>
<p>I would have liked to have seen Cream though. ( and Jimi ,… The Yardbirds-)</p>
<p>But I have also seen many many concerts over the years, starting with the Monkees ( without Jimi Hendrix I’m afraid), and including sneaking off total bedrest when I was pregnant with older D, to see Bonnie Raitt, and I have seen many great performances-, although some barely connected with the audience- hard to tell if it was the drugs, or jetlag.</p>
<p>But I have not seen any band, that is as consistent as putting on a stellar show, and having respect for and connecting with their audience as Pearl Jam. I never connected with the Dead & never understood the attraction, but if I had more money and time, I would be going to a lot more Pearl Jam shows, like Arena di Verona :)</p>
