I'd have liked to have seen U2 and Talking Heads in the 80s.
Seeing Japan was my second concert - I was so excited to see them! My first concert was Duran Duran. In my late teens and twenties I saw so many bands - wonderful times. Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Clash, the Pogues, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, The Fall, Christy Moore, The Cure, the Waterboys, Echo and the Bunnymen, so many, and lots of Classical music concerts too - with great conductors like Simon Rattle, Klaus Tennstedt, claudio Abbado, I feel so lucky to have see so much live music. I went to Glastonbury festival twice. id really like to go and see Arcade Fire, and I think the Killers would be great to see live too.
I envy you The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen, and TWO visits to Glastonbury
I adore The Cure's 'A Forest'.
