Dream Theater
YES
Keek Da Sneak(didnt want to)
The Nervous Return

Prince
U2

Pathetic I know lol , but I'd need to really really love an artist to want to
see them live ( ie Prince ) or really like the album theyre touring with
(ie Achtung Baby , one of my top 3 favourite non-Prince albums )

moonshine said:

OMG those are the only 2 artists I've seen in concert too! Plus your reasons are the same as mine. I saw U2 because my friend got 2 tickets for the show last year and I liked How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb so it was great. Prince, was and still is a must see event .

moonshine said:

I'm the exact opposite. I will go to a concert of someone even i'm just a remote fan...i live for concerts. seeing people dressed up, excited, hitting up the bar, when the lights go out a second before the artist comes onstage, the drama, anticipating the setlist...there isn't much i'd rather do than go to a good show. maybe get fucked really good.

Most of these shows took place at least ten years ago. I stopped going to gigs regularly around that time, partly because I’d damaged my hearing, partly because I was starting to feel a little old and tired.

Sonny Rollins
Metric
Brian Ferry

I think that's all of them. I never got to go to any full-fledged concerts until I graduated high school in 1985 and by that time, music was first starting to become fucked up. I would have loved to have gone to concerts from 1980-1984. During that period the Prince and Rick James tour came to Jackson. Rick also came back almost every year. Shalamar, The Whispers, and Lakeside seemed to come every summer. Roger and Zapp, Bill Summers and Summers Heat, Sun, Frankie Smith, Kleeer, The Gap Band also came during this era. By 1985, most of the concerts that came to my area were slow solo singers like Shitney Houston. I missed out on the real fun a few years earlier.

Need to see Prince, Bjork, Beastie Boys and Kate Bush(never forever!)

Shit, how the hell did I forget SINEAD O'CONNOR- she was amazing!

I've seen dozens of local bands, underground bands... but not really someone famous/popular. Too expensive!

TM Stevens was the "most popular" I can think of now.

I was damn near to see Mark Knopfler live some years ago, but before he started the tour, he broke some ribs in a motorcycle accident.
