Dammit, if I went through my iTunes posting acts I wish I could still see live it would take up too much time, so I'll just post a potpourri of names.
「 Fine Young Cannibals 」 IF I saw them anytime between 1985-1990, I would've BEEN THERE in the front just JAMMIN. JAMMMMMIn lolll in a damn jean jacket and shades NO GAMES WITH IT. *clap* BTW, this clip is my SHITT. 
「 Les Rythmes Digitales 」 Nooooo!! 
circa 1999-2000, I was too young to go and even if I was older, I don't think he even brought it to the States! 
「 INXS 」 anytime in the '80s would've been awesome to me especially during the "Original Sin" era or KICK. O.M.GGG. 「 Ian Dury & The Blockheads 」 he passed in 2000, but I would've love to have been @ this show or seen him live sometime during the late '70s 
「 Clor 」 Barry: few understand your buggedoutedness. ... [Edited 12/8/08 20:46pm] | |

Rick James.
Never got around to see Slick Rick. Almost had a chance after he did his prison stint and started touring old school. He did a show with Teena. I begged people I knew to go with me... nobody wanted to see "old school". Dang! I should have gone by myself. Within 1 year, Rick was gone.

Jimi Hendrix
Rick James (my Mom would let me go to concerts then  )
James Brown in the 60s
My parents saw the Rat Pack & Sammy Davis jr. each a few times... My Mom was into Sammy Davis jr. the way I'm into Prince. She used to drag my Dad to shows. Their accounts sounded great! "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

Yes, but some are still able to pull off a magnificent performance a la Stevie Wonder, The Pixies, Etta James, some would argue Prince even. | |

I have seen Parade, SOTT and Lovesexy. I have seen him do amazing aftershows, it's sad to see him become a sort of disco revival band doing covers. Pixies were indeed great, David Bowie still packs a mean live punch. Would have gone to see Al Green, if I had known about it. Blondie, maybe. I'm afraid though... |
