mine is The Tea Party, on their Alhambra Acoustic and Eclectic tour in 1996. Small intimate venue. All acoustic. One show in my life I'd go back in time to see is this one.

    The Presidents of the USA at the Beta Bar - maybe the 2004 tour?


    Small club show - I was on the guest list and simply got too wasted to go to the show. I couldn't even stand up - still regret not going to that show.

    PJ - Wembley 2000... turned down the chance for various reasons when really I should have made more of an effort to go, it would have been my first PJ show. Guess I thought they'd be back soon enough... took another 6 years as we all know, by which point both the band and myself had changed quite a lot. There's a big difference between being 18 and care-free, and being 24 with responsibilities!!

    Had tickets for both Blind Melon and Nirvana shows which took place during the same month in '94

    I was pretty young and missed both :evil:

    First off great subject - I have a few. First was PJ Montreal 1998 then again in 2000. Both times were money issues. I was 19 & 21 and money for that age for me was a struggle like most people. I did make up for it by seeing them in Montreal 2003 so a had some redemption. I missed them in Montreal 2005 but went to Ottawa and Quebec so I can't really say I reget anything there. Plus, the reason I missed them was because I went to see Jack Johnson at a baseball field next town over from me so no regets there.

    Other one is - I missed QOTSA opening for the RHCP back in 2003 or 2005 - I can't remember. The show was in Mansfield. I was at the venue, in the parking lot trying to get tix. I found people selling tix put I just wanted to pay $25 - $30 and I think face value was around $45ish, so me and my buddy left. Looking back I was such an idiot for not pulling the trigger on that! When I left the show some black truck was driving like an a-hole so that prompted me to drive like an a-hole. He must have called the cops because they were waiting for me in front on my parents house. They pulled me over to make sure I wasn't wasted and then let me go.

    I did get to see QOTSA in 2007 at Lupo's in Providence & RHCP in Mansfield 2000 when the Foo's opened for them so again I had my redemption. What I learned from all of this - like in life try your best to have no regets!

    Living in Chicago in '95, had just moved there and had very little money for shows.

    Couldn't afford to go to the Grateful Dead at soldier field (which turned out to be Jerry's last show), and missed the epic Pearl Jam show at Soldier Field shortly thereafter too. Still can't believe I missed out on those two!
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    10/15/00- Pearl Jam- the 2nd night. Went the first one. Tried to scalp a ticket but the guy in front of me got arrested. so bought a shirt instead. Although 10/14/00 was a longer set (and we did get long road as the opener). Oceans opened the 2nd night.

    Brad/ Band of Horses- had to miss due to family emergency.

    Foo FIghters last visit to NZ. Should have gone. But the good thing is that i wasnt as into them then as I am now, so when I do see them live one day, It will be insanely exciting. They are and will always be my favorite band
    Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam!

    I'm looking to buy a single ticket to Ed's Sydney Opera House show, PM me if you've got a spare! I don't care where the seat is! :D

    well said my friend. Foos live is awesome. only seen them 3 times, but put on a hell of a show. Looking forward to the new album as well. Guess I should mention I wish I could have made the co headline tour they did with Chili peppers in 99-2000??? Always heard RHCP were hit or miss, but the one time I saw them, in 2006 thought RHCP did a great job. Really want to time machine back to that show now with Foo Fighters.

    I had a chance to see oasis at Knebworth 15 1995. I was traveling in Europe at that time and a friend had applied for tickets and got 2. I ended up missing the concerts due to food poisoning. there was over 120,000 people at each concert.
