    My 5 - Prince, Queen, Nirvana, Frank Zappa, The Band

    prince was suppose to play the St. Louis Fox theatre around the time he passed away, or so the story goes.   
    I would had marked him off bucket list then, sadly he left us.

    Ive been lucky enough to catch most of the bands I wanted to see live.   Or at least the main pieces in the puzzle.   Seen roger waters, the Who, Page & Plant.    I’m too young to had seen the real deal on those acts (and 3 of 5 on my list for that matter) so that’s good enough for me. 

    its hard to leave Blind Melon off that list.   Had tickets to see them, john cougar, and Neil Young at a flood relief benefit concert, but it got flooded out, go figure.     Did see them with travis on vocals, might big shoes to fill and he knocked it out of the park.

    The Beatles
    Badfinger 
    the Band 
    the Kinks (although I heard the brothers have reconciled and are getting the band back together)
    Crosby, Still, Nash, & Young (there’s still a chance)
    I guess it all depends if Neil has really forgiven David for calling Daryl a Purely Poisonous Predator.

    I feel like one of addressed it recently (Maybe Neil on his archives?). And from the comment, Not likely.

    And I guess the David also pissed off Nash (I believe) with some comments about Nash’s book. 

    Good thing i got to see them at the Bridge School Benefit a couple years. And Buffalo Springfield. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.
