Bands you must see live that you haven't yet

I was just thinking about this. There are a few for me. The ones in particular are:

White Stripes - Got into them a little late, but they have'nt come back since.
R.E.M. - Have had plenty of chances but never took advantage. Kicking myself in the ass for that.
Morrissey - Was supposed to see him last year but the bastard cancelled the show.
Son Volt - They've come near here but not in town since I've been into them.
Coldplay - Sold out last time they came before I tried to get tickets.

If by some act of God The Smiths or The Police got together I think they'd trump any of these guys.

    AC/DC, don't laugh at me!

    I've been lucky enough to see most every band i've ever wanted to. The RHCP used to be tops on my list of what your asking, but my enthusiasm for them has petered out a bit over the years.

    Kaizers Orchestra is truely great live. If you get the chance you must see the singer solo as well. Janove Ottesen is a great singer songwriter.

    I saw them at HFStival in Baltimore last year and they put on a good, albeit short show.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Yeah you really want to catch Sigur Ros. Seeing them live was a really moving experience. The entire crowd just stood there, jaws dropped, totally in awe of the sound and talent coming from the band. At the end of their set, everyone just went balistic for about 10 minutes straight. It was so crazy, and they are so awesome.


    Anyway i would love to see

    I've seen most bands that I wanted to see. But going to see GNR in May even though its only Axl still been a fan for years can wait. Have not seen System Of a Down and would love to see them once. Still regret never getting to see Nirvana. Seen Foo Fighters on there last tour and was a great show so that will have to do.

    Wow, Radiohead are cropping up a lot in here.

    They are amazing live - play well over 2 hours and never fail to disappoint.

    I'm very lucky to have seen almost all of my favourite bands live. The only people left I would really like to see are:

    Beck
    Madonna (I have tickets for this summer!!)
    Michael Jackson (purely for the spectacle... don't laugh!)
    U2
    PJ Virgin.. till the Astoria :)
