Since deb posed the question 'what concerts did you see' my husband (who saw MANY more that me) said the one he would have LOVED to have seen is Paul McCartney.How about you?

(11,378 posts)Peter Gabriel and Squeeze are still on my bucket list.
Not a complete list by any means, this is just off the top of my head.

She was very envious so we ended up seeing him 3 more times together.
Of course, I reminded her that as long as we were both going she was never going to catch up!

(77,306 posts)They were on the bill to open for Mott The Hoople.
Brian May contracted hepatitis in the early part of the US tour, so Queen had to bail on all the dates.
They replaced them with Kansas. I think you can envision how that went over with the glam fans. (Disastrous after Kerry Livgren insulted the audience for not being more enthusiastic. It got BRUTAL after he did that.)
At least Mott put on a great show.

(13,438 posts)Missed it. Same with the Pretenders but did see them later.
Concert I would have liked to have seen would be Iron Butterfly doing In A Godda Da Vida
I've pretty much have seen all that I wanted to. During the days of my concert going tickets were rather cheap and my husband was off work every other week and my schedule was flexible. We also live right between Chicago and Milwaukee with Alpine Valley just down the highway so we were in prime area for it.
