Got the Plug Me In box set of AC/DC stuff today (only had it 10 minutes) and I just watched one of the tracks which is Angus and Mal doing a song with the Rolling Stones.
I really wish I'd been at that concert (AC/DC & Rolling Stones, Leipzig 2003) ... what great live shows do you wish you'd been at? Queen at Wembley in '86 has to be up there for me too, but I was too young to go to it :)

Hendrix' first gig in London when he "destroyed God"
obviously assuming I would have been alive/old enough on those occasions 8)

QUEEN at Wembley - No question!!!
-
Pink Floyd live in Pompejii
Sweet. Did you get the DVD of that, came out a few years ago I think? I read some bad reviews of it so never bought it - apparently they messed about with the recording and visuals and it isn't as good as the old VHS version (which I have lost :( )

I have the DVD and used to have the VHS (it used to run in permanent loop during my early 20s). The DVD is a 1:1 copy of the VHS with as only difference some in between sequences of recording sessions and interviews of Dark Side of the Moon. See David Gilmour play the actual recorded Time solo in the Studio is quite a catch, too.

Muddy Waters played Newcastle City Hall in the mid 60s, that would've been amazing to see.
Jimi Hendrix at Monteray where he just ripped the place appart.
AC/DC on the Powerage tour when they were recording the songs for the 'If You Want Blood, You Got It' album.
The Beatles in the Cavern Club.
Stones on the Sticky Fingers tour.
Cream at the Albert Hall (farewell gig)
Clapton/Bluesbreakers at any gig.
Allman Bros at one of the Fillmore gigs that ended up on the live album.
Sabbath on the first album tour.
Led Zepellin on the ZepII tour.
:twisted:

Right, that's a purchase then. Must have read some deluded person's review.
Back on topic, I should add the Ramones at CBGB's to my list.

-
Aerosmith "secret" gig at the Marquee, with Jimmy Page.
It was around 1990, I think. Feline was probably there. :wink:
Apart from that, I'd love to have seen just about any big-name band when they were starting out and playing clubs. I hate big venues.

oh... and i just missed the Misfits 30th anniversary tour $%&#ING HELL
-
QUEEN at Wembley - No question!!!
I hope you mean Wembley Arena on either the 1980 or 1984 tours
They were better gigs and had more atmosphere than the Stadium gigs in '86
I am jelous of my mates who saw them in TINY venues in 1979 on the Crazy Tour - some venues held only 400 people...
-
I saw some of the concerts that people are talking about.
The first concert I was at had Black Sabbath opening for Blodwyn Pig (Sabbath had just released Back Sabbath)
I saw Led Zeppelin on the III and IV tours, at Knebworth and also at Earls Court
Pink Floyd on the Meddle tour in the Great Hall at Bradford Uni, Dark Side of the Moon and lots of other tours.
The Stones many many times (including all their 'final' concerts)
Free about 7 times
Queen in 73 & 74
Thin Lizzy with the original line up and the later ones
Gary More at the Apollo with Albert King and Albert Colins
Wishbone Ash about 6 times
Alex Harvey many tmes
The first real festival I went to was in 1970, and it was Hollywood at Keele, this is the line up:
Saturday
Demon Fuzz,
Trader Horne
Screaming Lord Sutch
Mungo Jerry
Family
Titus Groan
Mike Cooper.
Ginger Bakers Airforce
Tony Joe White.
Sunday
The Flaming Groovies.
Black Sabbath.
Wildmouth
Quintessence.
Colosseum.
Free
Grateful Dead
Mungo Jerry
Jose Feliciano
Traffic.
The only regret in concerts that I have is that I never saw Jimi Hendrix, I was meant to go to the Isle of Wight, but my ride backed out, so I sold the ticket, thinking that he would tour later.

I missed The Sex Pistols on their 1st come back tour in 1996 at Finsbury Park, the Filthy Lucre one. The crowd are just going nuts on the live CD and I've heard it was incredible. I did see them at Crystal Palace though and will again in a couple of weeks.
Led Zepplin Long Beach June 1972
Jimi Hendrix Monterey
The Stranglers, The Round House, Camden 1978
Van Halen, with Dave, anywhere. I've seen them with Sammy but it's not the same!
The Beatles, Shea Stadium, New York, 196somthing
The Who, Charleton Atheletic, early 70's (This gig earned them the loudest gig ever at the time!)
-

(etc)
Good lord, Phil, that is one hell of a list. I'm green with envy. :mrgreen:

I used to go to at least one concert a week from 16 to about 21, then it slowed down a bit. Bradford had the Uni and St Georges Hall and Leeds had the Uni, the Corn Exchange and the Town Hall. I lived in Shipley, which made both of them easy by train. I have seen all the classic bands from the late 60's and early 70's and was at the 70's Knebworth festivals. I moved to New York in 1980 and continued to go to many concerts, seeing most of the big names in the 80's. I still go to a lot of shows, and saw Cream at the Albert Hall and Madison Square Garden (I never saw them the first time around but now I've seen them 3 times!)
-
Nirvana at Reading 1992.
The Who Live at Leeds.
Foo Fighters debut at Reading Festival.
That's probably my top three.
-
I wish I had seen Trader Horne at that festival - not guitar related at all, but Morning Way is one of my favourite quirky albums of all time.
