    I won awesome seats for last year's TOTD lottery at the LA Forum.  Husband was in the hospital for over a week, and just couldn't go without him (wouldn't have enjoyed it without him, either).

    My heart still breaks over that whole thing, for more reasons now, in hindsight.

    i was more meaning shows you had tickets to and/or paid for and you didn't attend because of YOUR reasons. not that you sold them or the artist cancelled.

    Temple of the Dog... both nights for Philly. I had an exam that a professor wouldn't work with me on for taking it early or late. Would have been quite the drive and I needed that day to travel. 

    Still pissed that I missed them.

    I was there.  Great show...though the rain really screwed things up.  No Beck and shortened sets by PJ, RHCP etc.  This was Fruscientes first show back though.  PJ cut their set short so RHCP could play a few songs.  They used PJ's gear.

    I had tickets to see both Blind Melon and Nirvana in late 1993.  Had to miss both because I was a high school freshman and didn't have a ride.  bummer

    Beck- St. Louis 2000, Midnite Vultures tour

    Road trip freshman year of college.  Stopped in my hometown to pick more friends up and just got snowed in by a horrible blizzard, could not make it. Never did get a chance to see Beck live.  One friend that drove straight through by himself loved the show though and certainly rubbed it in to us.

    Black Crowes- Chicago Theatre 2010

    I won free tickets for this one, I think it was their acoustic and electric set tour.  Had a very very minor outpatient surgical procedure a couple days before that I didn't think would stop me from going.  Day of I just didn't feel well enough yet so couldn't go last minute.

    Concert gods sometimes even luck out- another near miss was the only time I saw The Rolling Stones in 2003 at Comiskey in Chicago.  Leaving from college again, I had let a buddy borrow my car to go back home.  Which was not good when our friend who was driving bailed last minute on the concert due to work, last second scramble to borrow a car successfully. That was one I would have been super bummed to miss!

    No time to be void or save up on life, you gotta spend it all.
