I'd still give my right arm to see any form of Genesis. I've seen Phil in 91 and Peter Gabriel this year. But never Genesis.

I saw Genesis in the 1978 "And then there were three" tour.  I wish I'd been able to see them before Peter Gabriel left.  :bawl:

I'd like to see John Hiatt. He toured with Lyle Lovett recently. That would have been good to see.

I'd have loved to see John Prine.

And if you like Irish music/ballads, you're probably familiar with Liam Clancy. He'd have been good to see in a pub.

I bet seeing Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park would have been pretty good.

Tell ya what--seeing Springsteen and the ESB in Philly is awesome.  See, when he was just first starting out, a Philly deejay (whose name escpes me at the moment) started playing his stuff on his show in Philly, saying that Springsteen was going to be "the next big thing."  Well, Bruce got quite the following in Philly, so he always played his best shows there.  I got to see him there on August 11th, 2003 (Coach Herb Brooks died that night) at Lincoln Financial Field.  Effin' awesome show.  27 songs, over 3 1/2 hours.  He started with one that he'd never done before with the E Street Band, and I knew the song.  I was singing it at the top of my lungs, and the people in the row in front of me (we were 20 rows from the stage, in front of Clarence, and they were from Asbury Park) were asking each other, "How does he know this song?"  (I had it on a Bruce tribute album.)  Unreal show.

Now my daughter wants to see him with me . . .  :whistling: O-)

I've never really been into concerts at all. The only one I've ever been to was provided free for Canada day in Kanata Ottawa. I don't even remember who it was now :/

Despite not being into concerts and the like if I could have gone to any Electric Light Orchestra concert I sure would have.

My Husband has gone to a few Philly shows when his friends had extra tickets, I've never seen him in Philly, but the Philly shows are always the best shows, followed by the Garden. No idea why, but Bruce just comes across as a little nervous during the Jersey shows. We did have the pleasure of being at 1 of the best Bruce shows ever, Aug. 11 1999 at the Continental Airlines Arena, 10th row on the floor almost center, pure luck that we got those seats, Bruce added a few more shows, that show was 2nd to last, they added the extra shows because the other shows sold out so fast, I just happened to call at the right time, my husband was shocked at the seats. It was amazing seeing Bruce so close up.

Not a big concert junkie, but if I could go back to see any live event that would be impossible to see presently, I'd elect to go be a fly on the wall in the Constitutional Convention in 1787, or watch Lincoln wipe the dais with Stephen Douglas in the Lincoln/Douglas Debates.

As far as concerts I'm dying to see, I have tickets to see one of them on December 1st.
