"I would have loved to see ______ live but they are dead / broken up."
 

I was thinking about this while listening to the best of the Doors and trying to imagine what they would have been like to see live. Here are the ones I can think of so far:

Doors
Jimi Hendrix
Nirvana
Joy Division
Jeff Buckley
Sublime
The Beatles
The Clash
Led Zeppelin
Operation Ivy
The Pixies


Anybody else?

The Smiths
Joy Division
Duran Duran (all of the original members! :p )
Alice in Chains
Queen
How could i have forgotten Soundgarden?

The Smashing Pumpkins (be quiet)
Nirvana
Hendrix
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin
Joni Mitchell
Pink Floyd
Cream
Ben Folds Five, actually


and Blind Melon. definitely.

I forgot about Cream! I was lucky enough to catch BFF because my friend had an extra ticket. They have a live DVD out that is quite good though.

Smashing Pumpkins.


Oh, all the original members of Duran Duran are together recording..hopefully they will tour.

That DVD is so good it's almost depressing how great he was.

I'm just going to stick to bands from my generation.

Nirvana
Jeff Buckley
Hum
Failure

Thats all that I can think of right now.

THE
STONE
ROSES

Eh let's give it a shot

Joy Division
Drive Like Jehu
Gang of Four
Jawbox
The Minutemen
Pavement (s&e or crooked rain, crooked rain era)
Pixies
Iggy and the Stooges
Unwound
The Velvet Underground (right before cale left, or before loaded came out)

Now that I think about it, I've seen a lot of stuff that I wanted to see and I missed a few by such a slim margin that it's kind of depressing.

The Pumpkins
Nirvana
The Smiths
Oasis (original members, I don't think it'd be the same now)
PAVEMENT, HEL-LO?!

Joy Division
Cocteau Twins
Pink Floyd
Bob Marley
The Beatles
Jefferson Airplane
Jimi Hendrix
Dead Can Dance
Bauhaus
The Smiths
T. Rex
The Stone Roses
Switchblade Symphony

Pixies
Pink Floyd
Pavement
Smashing Pumpkins
Beatles
My Bloody Valentine
Jeff Buckley
Husker Du
Replacements
Nirvana
Stone Roses
Soundgarden

HUM

more than any other band.
except pink floyd DSTOM era. maybe.

the field mice


and although still highly productive, i doubt i'll ever see the acid mothers temple live. They have this nasty habit of not playing here at all.

slowdive, galaxie 500, joy division, mbv, disco inferno, cocteau twins, nick drake, chameleons uk but i think theyve re-formed :think:, syd barrett, bauhaus, smiths, pixies, skinny puppy, danzig-era misfits, swans, and i'd have liked to have been at the sarah 100 party.

i just read that article. My frantic Sarah downloading of the past two weeks made me like to have been there too, but next to the field mice and this party, i would have loved to see the sea urchins as well. Stardust has been on the discman for a week now, that's quite an accomplishment when belonging to a 400+ records collection.

Pink Floyd (before Roger Waters leaving)
A sane Michael Jackson (let's face it - he isn't coming back)

"please rain fall, and break the surface up into movement like it's alive..." :( if you can get a copy of There and Back Again Lane, a real one, the liner notes tell the BEST sarah stories.
