Saw Lemon Kittens support Eyeless In Gaza. They frightened me!

Was too young to see the first wave of 'punk' bands that hit my 'out in the sticks' town, so missed the Damned, Slits, Adverts, Rattus-era Stranglers, etc.
Never got to see Belly - Had the chance to see them with REM & The Cranberries but I was going through a 'stadium gigs suck big logs' phase at the time (still am!)

Yeah, they were brilliant. The 1977 gig is probably my fave ever.

As a teen I just missed out on a chance to see The Birthday Party.
Still one of my favorite bands of all time.

Saw the SMALL Faces once - 1977 reformed for a gig at the Rainbow with Rick Wills filling in for Ronnie Lane and PP Arnold singing with Stevie. I think they just did it to show the Punks what for. Rotton and Vicious were in the pub over the road afterwards.
Did you see the Willi's live ?

Greatest regrets:
Zappa -- I could have travelled 3-4 hours to see him on his last tour . . .
Sun Ra -- passed up a chance to see him, and then he died a couple months later.
Woulda been regrets except they came true:
SO GLAD I got to see Mission of Burma -- twice! I never thought that would happen, the idea that they would reunite and still be at it after 8 years still seems too good to be true.
Also had the priviledge of seeing Kraftwerk twice: one of their last "console" tours in the 1990's, and again with the new "laptops" (but without Florian) around 2008. Think they've only played about a dozen times in North America in the last 20 years, so that's pretty lucky I'd say!
Actually did see them, but it feels like I didn't:
Public Enemy -- opening for U2 in a stadium. It was like watching ants crawl around from across the street. The sound wasn't much from the nosebleed seats either.
Still on my list:
Neil Young (with an electric band.) He better not go dying on me anytime soon!
