How would you get over missing out on seeing a concert and risk never seeing them again?

Happened to me. Desperately wanted to see Blackfoot back in the day. They were supporting The Scorpions on their UK Blackout tour. For whatever reason, I missed them as the support band and I never got to see them afterwards. The Blackfoot of today isn't the same. One of my life regrets

@UKNaturist Dang. I love Black foot.

@UKNaturist Awe shucks. I can't lie to you.
I was actually their roady for 10 years and saw every show they ever did. LOL

@Dainbramadge - closest I've come is seeing Rickey with Skynyrd

@UKNaturist Oh yeah. That's gotta pad the the Black Foot issue some. :-)

@Dainbramadge - going to see Skynyrd again in July.

I can still remember the date of the gig I missed them (20th April 1982). I think the train was delayed getting there. 😞

@UKNaturist Dang. Bummer.
I, myself, don't do crowds well.
So I don't do concerts or races.
My favorite story to tell is seeing Alice Cooper when I was 13.
The other day some one asked how old people were when they seen their first concert.
Hell everybody was about that.

Man, the ticket guy told me and my brother, 15 at the time, he couldn't let us in because we were so young. My brother put on his puppy dog eyes and said "But sir, our mom already left".
They guys shoulders dropped, he ripped the tickets and said "Enjoy the show boys". LOL

@Dainbramadge - I'm not big on crowds nowadays but if we're all there for the same purpose, I can cope. Blackberry Smoke supporting Skynyrd in July - that's gonna be a good show. Seen BBS about 10 times - they never disappoint
