Who have you seen live and who would you like to see?
I got to see Michael Jackson perform live which was my favourite concert as his performance was sensational but I've also seen Adele, The Who, the Dire Straits and Tom Petty live.
I would love to have seen Bowie live. Sadly missed out on that legend. I'm grateful for YouTube where I can watch his live videos and imagine I'm there.
The Clash, Wonderstuff, Johnny Cash, The Pogues, Mega City Four,.
Def Leppard 1996 at the N.E.C Birmgham.
Live concerts are like a journey of their own, aren't they? I've been lucky to catch some incredible acts over the years. One standout for me was calvin harris ibiza—it was a wild night of beats under the stars, with the island vibe amplifying the whole experience.One concert that's still on my bucket list is seeing Fleetwood Mac live. Their music has been a soundtrack to so many moments in my life; I can only imagine how amazing it would be to hear "Rhiannon" or "Go Your Own Way" live.
me too I love to see taylor swift too
I love seeing music live. There's something special about a live performance it's like there's an energy surging from the stage and it feels amazing.
I've seen these live
The Beautiful South, Roxette, Phil Collins, Texas, Elaine Paige, Peter Gabriel and Blondie.
No regrets with any of them. They were all incredible performers in their own way.
I've never seen anyone live but I would love to see Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Charlie Puth and OMD who are my fave group. I love their sound and style. Even now they sound so fresh. I would love to see all of the above live in the future.
The who, Dylan, the stones, lots of indie bands, Mega City Four, Carter USM, Levellers, Dreadzone. A couple of glastonburys (97 and 98), where I seem to remember I saw Johnny Cash. Prodigy after jilted generation came out, Suede just after their first album came out, Creamfields twice, so saw lots of DJs. Lots of drum and bass DJs from back in the day - Roni Size, Bukem, Krust, Hype.
Would have killed to see the clash, the wonder Stuff and the pogues.
It's hard to pick a favourite, but if my memory is correct, it would have to be Johnny Cash.

The Clash

I could go on but then I'd probably be showing off;)
I find live music, one of the few times I can be in large crowds without feeling overwhelmed and I guess that's because there's a focus, the band.
Just bumping this as someone mentioned The Clash in a thread and I remembered seeing them live.
It'd be good to get some more input.
Just bumping this thread as the listening to music thread mentioned The Clash which reminded me of seeing them live which reminded me of this thread...
PS: I forgot Billy Bragg, in Perth.
I saw Phil Collins as a teen, was great. Also Men at Work when I visited my best friend in the US. Daniel Lanois at the Basement in Sydney. And Leonard Cohen (when he was older) in Sydney. I haven't been to a lot of concerts as you can see. I would love to see Travis or Coldplay live. I wish I had seen Keith Green (Christian musician) when he was alive.
I've seen Leonard Cohen live in Sydney, a few years ago.
I love Rod Stewart!! Even his Christmas/jazz standards.
I envy you The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen, and TWO visits to Glastonbury
I adore The Cure's 'A Forest'.
I saw the 2019 film, about him, at QFT in Belfast.
I'm listening to The Fall, now, on Spotify.
I'm a bit of a latecomer to Leonard Cohen. I saw the Spooky Men's Chorale a few years ago and they ended their set with Dance me to the End of Love, which I loved. That was probably when I started going out of my way to find out more about him. I really like his political stuff, but not so bothered by some of his love songs....
The songs are a bit sombre sometimes it’s true. I like them though.
