After seeing the documentary on the disaster that concert was I'd pass on that one.
Ooh- thank you for bringing up classical! I'd love to witness Berlioz's debut of Symphonie fantastique.
I've seen just about everyone I would have wanted to with the possible exception of the Rolling Stones. However, some that come to mind are Steppenwolf, The Guess Who in their prime (I saw them without Randy Bachman or Burton Cummings) CCR (especially CCR), Led Zeppelin.
A couple of others are what I call carnival rock groups. These are bands you'd hear on carnival rides back in the 70s and 80s. These include the Grassroots, Yes, America, etc.
I've seen The Who, Elton John in his fancy boots and mohair suits phase, Eric Clapton, Bread, Rare Earth, The Beach Boys, John Denver.
Nice choices. I would give just about anything to have seen Rachmaninoff's piano concerto #2 when it first opened.
I've seen it performed by live by a concert pianist (I knew the music already) and it was fabulous. I can only imagine hearing the master play it himself
@Cyclonepride - don’t want to depress you, but that DSM Petty show was incredible. We were in the nosebleeds, but it was great. Joe Walsh opened - I am not the biggest fan of him, but he sounded great for an old guy.
The first two were also in my top 5. I really would take the Stones anytime before about 1980, and think Live at Leeds would be peak Who.
There are some definite exceptions to this I’ve been lucky to see - there are some acts for whom the audience acts as a member. There is a visceral experience that happens with some of those acts that you just don’t get in person!

The only time I have seen him was at the State Fair in 2001 - it was not great, and I am a huge fan. I have heard he is just so inconsistent live - it can be excellent, or terrible.
Glad you enjoyed Petty. We saw him back in the 90s in Davenport, and honestly I didn't think it was all that great. He's a musical genius for sure. But the concert itself was just kind of meh. I had the same feeling about the Steve Miller Band. Just wasn't a concert that moved me in any real way.

Not depressed, but jealous. Just looking at my Spotify playlists, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers have the most songs that I like of any band (30). The Stones and BRMC are second with 20 (though I know if I did more digging, the Stones would have more than 20 for sure).
I didn't see him until 2004 at the Iowa Cubs stadium and remember leaving underwhelmed but a big part of that was because I didn't know what he sounded like leading up to that.
For what sound/style they had, all in all it was really good and when I saw him in 2006 I appreciated it more.
The Rolling Thunder Revue is a whole different level. Songs re-done from his earliest records and then adding in stuff from Desire and Blood on the Tracks and the band was wild including Scarlet Rivera (violist on Desire).
I want to be there to witness the chaos. I’m also pretty nostalgic for that era of white boy rock.
