Ditto this one for me (with Big Star in '94).

 

And I wish that I had been able to see Quine with anybody. Nice.

Saw a lot of bands on reunion tours but I guess I won't count those (Pixies, Pavement, Gang of Four...)

Grateful Dead

The Band - 3 weeks before Richard Manuel hung himself

Brian Wilson Smile tour - yeah he's still around but that tour isn't and doubtful it will ever come back

Bowie - Sound and Vision tour, last tour of the catalog people care about

Warren Zevon - "and if California slides into the ocean, like the mystics and statistics say it will. I predict this motel will be standing, until I pay my bill." So glad I saw this live.

The Kinks - many times. Damn were they fun.

 

Edit. The Who - with John Entwistle

The Ramones

Crosby Stills and Nash?

 

That's about it.. Didn't start going to concerts until the late 90's and most great bands were long gone..

 

Oh yeah and Weezer on the Blue Album and Pinkerton tours... That counts because the real Weezer isn't around anymore.

Yep, me too. No Keith Moon though unfortunately

 

I guess I can throw in Bowie too although it was the Glass Spider tour so maybe I shouldn't count that one.

I saw the Glass Spider tour too. Holy crap, was that bad. Did catch the Sound & Vision tour which was simple & elegant and featured Adrian Belew on guitar. :thumbup

No Moonie for me either, at least we got to see the Ox. That solo he was doing on 5:15 in those later years was sick, and i'm not a big solo guy.

 

Saw Glass Spider too, what the hell was he thinking?
