The bands we love, and us, are getting older. Who’s still out there on your gig bucket list?
Depeche Mode for me. No idea why I’ve never gone to a tour!

The only ones I can think of are Paul McCartney, Madness and ELO. Perhaps The Cure too. The Specials were on my list, but fortunately I saw them last year at what sadly turned out to be Terry Hall's penultimate gig before he died.
Two of the acts I missed out on were Hot Chocolate and Tony Bennett.

I'm with 4th Chord and Depeche Mode. An ex-workmate of mine goes all over Europe to see them. I think he saw them in the San Siro this year and he's also seen them at the Allianz Arena. Places like that. I've always wanted to see Sheryl Crow (not going to happen now unfortunately), Alabama 3 and Band of Skulls. I'd have loved to have seen Moon Martin but I don't think he ever toured the UK. Not that I know of. Alas, he left us a few years ago. Sheryl Crow supported the Stones at Murrayfield in 1999. I was persuaded to stay in the pub. Ba$tards  Alabama 3 played Edinburgh just at the weekend there. By the time I found out, it was sold out (sigh). Band of Skulls I still have hopes for. |

I saw Sheryl Crow at the RAH a few years ago - OK but a bit underwhelming. I'd be open to seeing her again, but wouldn't be too arsed about it.

Tbh, I'm increasingly disinclined to travel outside my local area for a gig nowadays. If they can't come to me: fuck 'em!

Not the same without dusty, but I'd still like to see zztop
Plus the Stones, but not at the prices they charge
I've probably left it too late... George thorogood
Quite fancy Molly Hatchet. As I'm happy to see them it gives me no argument against Francis using the SQ same

Most of the people I'd like to see are dead now Same here: Rory Gallagher in particular, can't believe I never got to see him, what with all the chances I had. And Slade, would have loved to have caught them, even in their 80s incarnation. Did they ever tour Ireland? Not sure. |

Not seeing Slade is my biggest regret. I was a little too young when they came to Oz in their pomp in the early seventies.
There were big rumours of a tour in 84/85 that never eventuated.
What makes it even worse is there is no decent live concert video of them.
