* Beatles "Let It Be" on the rooftop at Apple Studio
* Woodstock (The first one, of course) I lived about 35 miles away, but did I go?....nooooooo
* "The Last Waltz", The Band
* Any Beach Boys
* Any Paul McCartney with Wings
* Any Sousa Concert actually conducted by Sousa (I know, I can't count)
* The premier of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, conducted by Beethoven...

*** and one concert I'm glad I missed...the band playing "Nearer My God To Thee" on the deck of the Titanic...

I wish I could have seen these guys, but I'm too young:

1. Ernest Tubb with Buddy C and Leon
2. Hank Williams
3. The Stooges

Chalk this up to me being lazy, but I didn't see:
4. The Swans (before they decided to play "music".)

5. I wish I'd seen Jimmy Day play.

...I nearly forgot, and saw it on another topic....John Fogarty!!!! Sure would like to see him play...

Frank Sinatra - passed up a chance to see him in Atlanta at $30.00 a seat. Seemed a shame to pay that much since I had seen Willie Nelson and Neil Diamond for under $20 each (5th row center seating each time).

Should have done it.

I was actually at the Beatles final concert at Candlestick in San Francisco. I was never into the beatles, but my sister wanted to go and I went with her. The other bands were better in my opinion. The dude who sang "Sunny" and the Cyrcle were good.

I think Bill Withers did Sunny didn't he? Not sure.

I wish I would have seen:

Chet Atkins
Buddy Holly
Hank Williams
Elvis '56
Buck w/ Don (Opened for him in 89; had Terry on Gtr/PSG)
Any Grand Old Opry Shows from 59-69

I HAVE seen Van Halen, Jimmy Day live, Stevie Ray Vaughn. I guess I should be thankful for that at least.
