Talking Heads was a band I always wanted to see but they never seemed to be anywhere near. Another band would have been The Libertines, but only if they had been around 10 years earlier.
Vetrov · 61-69, M
@SW-User Oh they were the second act in 1984….The Pretenders & Talking Heads
Vetrov · 61-69, M
I have to limit myself to bands that came to Melbourne and when I was of an age that I could have seen them.
Bowie
Queen

@beermeplease @TexChik one of the few advantages of being older is the great bands I saw. Zeppelin were highlighting the last day of The 1970 Bath Festival - after people like Pink Floyd, John Mayall, Donovan, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Frank Zappa.....
I also saw Zeppelin live in London on the Led Zep III tour - one of the loudest gigs I've ever attended but also one of the best. This is still one of my favourites!

Prince. I came so very close once. Toronto was once his hometown and thus did surprise unannounced concerts there, even after he moved away in love of the city. I heard of a concert on the radio, announced that morning, and in that time I was living 2 hours away so with news the concert theatre was lined up all around the block within 10 minutes of the announcement, I passed. It wasn't much longer, he died; so I'll forever regret that choice.

No I’m in Ottawa, just an hour and half from Montreal. Toronto is about 4 to five hours.
Driving to Montreal is a breeze. Unfortunately in Ottawa we don’t get all the greats bands coming here.

@Synyster did you have tickets to see kiss? i saw them here a few weeks ago. too bad they had to cancel toronto and ottawa... i'm not a huge kiss fan but it was a good show and i was happy to see them one final time
Synyster · 51-55, M
@beermeplease
You know I was going to take my son but he was going out of town that week. Luckily I didn’t as they cancelled because Paul Stanley got the flu.
I saw them 4 times. 3 times with the original line up, Paul, Gene, Ace and Peter. Love that band.

@DearAmbellina2113 I saw The Smiths a couple of times. First time was great, smallish venue just as they broke through. Second time was just ok. Glastonvury fedtival all the bands are just ok. I always preferred small venues. The Stooges would have been great.

I've been to one concert in my life. Bethel
I don't know about the rest, but the ones I experience were religious whackos trying to earn their way to Heaven without Christ.
Other than that. I find it boring to be in the Concert in the first place.
I have no interest of them.
