I have saw those 3 and they were all great! I actually got to meet Siouxsie at a record signing here at a local Tower Records and got an autographed copy of her 1995 album "The Rapture".

I have accomplished to see one of the ultimate concerts for me so far and that was David Bowie. It was just kinda a let down because the crowd there was kinda rough because Nine Inch Nails opened for him. They all wanted to do the mosh pit thing.

Wow! That must have been amazing! :) I think I know which Tower records you're referring to. I've been there and met Henry Rollins. I also found a Japanese edition of Madonna's Sex Book, SCORE!!! :)

It's the only Tower Records in town on the drag at the UT campus.

That's it. I knew it was near a campus. Thanks Stacy. :)

I've seen most of the bands I want to see. But, there are a few that I haven't saw yet. I would love to see Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Heart, Billy Joel, etc. And I could go for seeing Judas Priest (yes, with Rob Halford), Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Scorpions, AC/DC, Dio, and Alice Cooper.

I would love to see:
-Artists I've never seen: Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Judas Priest w/Ripper, Kid Rock (sue me, I love the guy), & Cyndi Lauper
-Aritists I want to see again: Motley Crue, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Stevie Nicks, Cheap Trick. Rush, Judas Priest w/Halford & Def Leppard :)
-Artists I wish I could have seen in their prime: Queen, Ramones, Ozzy & Randy Rhoads, & Skid Row. :(

I would love to see:
Duran Duran
Madonna
Pat Benatar
Aerosmith (again)
Sting
Phil Collins


I was fortunate enough to catch The Ramones in '90 at the University of Oklahoma. They really rocked!!

Here are my choices:

Paul McCartney
Jools Holland
Pat Benatar (She came to Buffalo last year to play at a free concert, but it was too hot, so I didn't go, I was so pissed off.)
Duran Duran
Spandau Ballet (if the members get their differences together and give peace a chance)
Olivia Newton-John
Sir Cliff Richard
Billy Joel
The Bangles
U2

I would like to see Nik Kershaw, Billy Idol, The Hooters, Iron Maiden and Yes

Air Supply
Hall & Oates
Men at Work
Talking Heads
Spandau Ballet
Thompson Twins

And my real fantasy one (cringes at the thought of what people will think) = ABBA

I just want to see *A* concert. I've never been to one in my entire life (That Chieftains performance doesn't count...it was more a recital than a concert). I want to go to a place where the air is thick with sweat and smoke...by the ocean...by a river...Jersey on a hot night...New York...even Long Island. Just so long as I can see a genuine concert before I die (and that could happen within a decade. Sorry, evil self talking)

Sincerely,

John "outofplacechild" Kilduff

Jen's being mean!!! LOL! :D You lucky Cajun lady you. Now I'm all jealous. :p

I'd be right there with ya Recker! That would so rock!

Unfortunately it's too late to catch 2 groups I missed out on in the 80s: Pink Floyd and Queen :(

Otherwise I can't believe I still haven't seen U2 and Madonna (what am I - a millionaire??) and those two are definitely on my list. Otherwise I don't think I have any I *MUST* see......

Never tire of Nick Cave shows.

Missed 3/4 of a Fishbone show in the late 80s. Stayed in the pub too long. I would like to see them again - they rocked.

Never got to see Bauhaus either. Would like to.

Think I've seen pretty much everybody else that I want to see.

Oh I forgot about Madonna and also Bon Jovi. Aerosmith is coming to my town in January. I'll have to try to get tickets to that. :)

I'd like to see:
Duran Duran, Def Leppard, U2 (but only if they play stuff from The Unforgettable Fire and earlier), Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Yes.
Would have loved to see Queen.
And Recker, I'll go to an ABBA concert with you anytime!

Prince! 'nuff said!

This is going to sound really funny to most of you, but the ONE I'd LOVE to see is

Barry Mannilow.

He usually picks a woman out of the audience to go up with him and sing "Can't Smile Without You"...and I want to be the one he picks!! I LOVE BARRY!!!! :D

Pink Floyd

Duran Duran Fab 5 Line up, Dokken, Depeche Mode, Stone Temple Pilots, Human League, The Fixx, The remaining members of the Cars{ben orr RIP}

Korn
Godsmack
Kid Rock
Disturbed
Def Leppard

Van Halen (With David Lee Roth)
Billy Joel
Cinderella

I would have loved to see these guys back in the day...
Beatles
Jimi Hendrix
George Harrison
John Lennon

These guys actually started in the late 60's but are still going strong. BLACK OAK ARKANSAS. Saw them recently here in New Orleans with FOGHAT. Foghat could not hold a candle to BOA. Three of the original band members still playin'. Jim Dandy, Rickie Lee Reynolds and Pat D. (can't spell his last name) Good, strong, ass-kickin' rock-n-roll. And Jim Dandy's stories are as good as ever. Don't miss em.

I would love to see Guns 'N Roses (original lineup) and Skid Row (with Sebastian as lead singer). But sadly, don't think either of those are going to happen. I'd love to see Bon Jovi again. Also would want to see Poison and Sebastian Bach. :D

I have a huge list. :D

Judas Priest (with Rob Halford)
Manowar
Rollin' stones
Danzig
Nightwish
Tristania
Billy Joel
W.A.S.P
Dio
Rod Stuart
Frank Sinatra (I wish so bad he was still alive!)
Elvis Presley (I'm obsessed with him and I wish he was still alive!)
Bruce Springsteen
Poison
Prince
The Doors (with Morrison)
Jimi Hendrix (Shame he's dead )
Bob Seagar
Bad company
Jefferson Airplane
Led Zeppelin
KISS (again :D)
Ted Nugent (again :D)
The Who
Livesay (If they ever come to Boston :p)

Ok I know that's more of a wishlist. LOL Still would be cool to see all them. :D
