Concert Bucket List - done!

During a random drinking-and-talking-crap-about-music night with some mates recently we got onto the question of which bands have been 'with you' since you first started getting seriously into music. In our case, this means any bands that we first heard anywhere between the late-80s to mid 90s that we still listen to regularly.
My list ended up like this:
Pearl Jam
Neil Young
REM
Sonic Youth
The Afghan Whigs
Screaming Trees/Mark Lanegan
Sebadoh
You Am I
Faith No More
Soundgarden
Pavement
Beastie Boys
Smashing Pumpkins
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Black Crowes
Foo Fighters
Blind Melon
I only realised after writing the list down (and this is the real point of this post) that I have now seen all of my all-time favourite bands live. For the longest time, The Afghan Whigs were the one band I thought I'd never see live but I was lucky enough to see them in Sydney a few months ago on their reunion tour.
It doesn't include a lot of my current favourites (Joseph Arthur, Wilco, The Black Keys and Ryan Adams are notable exceptions as they weren't part of my early 90s life) and it doesn't include the bands that I used to love but hardly listen to anymore (eg The Beatles and The Stones).
So, with that ramble in mind, what's your concert 'bucket list'? If you were to write down the bands that you have always loved, how many of them have you seen live and how many are still to be crossed off the list?
