Bands to See Before You/They Die

I managed to just hear oysterhead right after they stopped touring, so that’s high up on my list, also RHCP. For some reason I also have this desire to see The Rolling Stones before I die, though I wish I could see a show from the 60′s/70′s and not the current ones, but I can’t. Hmmm Radiohead also, since they tour soooo rarely, same with Beastie Boys.

Beastie Boys are a treat to see live for sure, especially with Mix Master Mike behind the turntables…

I’ve seen them twice, once following Hello Nasty, once following To The 5 Boroughs–the Hello Nasty show trumped the second time around, but they were both amazing concerts in their own right…

1. Big Sugar (requires re-union)
2. Grady (a full show, I’ve only seen a 45min set)
3. Metallica in a small club
4. Pearl Jam in a small club
5. The Rolling Stones in a small club
6. Gov’t Mule (not just that I want to see them, but I want to see them every single time I possibly can)

1)Radiohead (coulda had free tix in Chitown right after OK Comp was released, turned em down to catcha Phish show…d’oh!)
2)Nellie McKay
3)Bela Fleck & Tony Trishka duet
4)Modest Mouse
5)William Shatner (fer kicks)
6)Talking Heads (requires another reunion)

People I (technically) could have seen, but didn’t and now never will ’cause I wasn’t in the right place at the right time:
1)John Hartford
2)Bill Monroe
3)Garcia/Grisman
4)Johnny Cash
5)Nirvana

Ouch…

Yeah, I almost forgot about Talking Heads.

Reunions are okay to speculate, especially if you consider that all the members are still alive and they recently did their Hall of Fame reunion to play a couple tunes…

taking tang’s suggestion, shows I could have seen but didn’t now I’m mad I didn’t:
Rage Against the Machine
Sublime
Nirvana
Vida Blue and Spam Allstars
Pink Floyd
