Poll question: Which Band have I never seen live and regret it? |
|
Okay, now time for you to guess which of the following bands is the ONE band I have never seen live and always wanted to...
I had the opportunity, but passed, like an idiot, and I will explain all later...

4. That is one I've seen live and regret it. |

I was able to get tickets for me, my girl and six friends. All Zep fans, mind you, and most were musicians. I think it was the Houses of the Holy tour. Getting eight seats together was quite a feat. Granted, expectations were sky high, but it was really disappointing the way they could not play their own material, Plant's voice gave out after half an hour and Bonzo played an excruciatingly dull 15 minute drum solo. Great studio band and I still listen to them, but not a great live act.

6. I had the same response to "The Song Remains The Same" movie |
|
I much prefer Zep's studio work to their live stuff.

12. I saw the Beatles! 3 Times! |

Twice in Chicago and once in Cleveland. In Chicago, a conspiring parent got my best friend and I into their hotel. We took service stairways up and got to their floor - could hear them - and then the cop appeared. It was a great adventure, though. We met their road manager, but didn't get to "the boys."

8. Well, some of these are still around, so you still have the potential |
|
opportunity...Does that mean it has to be one that is broken up/no longer touring?

10. I've seen Soundgarden, U2, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Ted Nugent |
|

The only ones worth a damn (IMO) were U2 (of course) and Soundgarden (besides being kinda assholey to the audience); of the ones remaining, I would have to choose Pink Floyd myself...Well, is REM still together?

since no one seems to be voting...
REM.
I moved to Milwaukee in 1986 and they were playing the Oriental Theatre down the street for $12.00. I declined due to finances, and said I would catch them next time. Never happened.
