Members Cirrus Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 Come on - own up. Tell me about a REALLY special live show moment you weren't there to bear witness to. My friends saw Nine Inch Nails at Reading a few years back and apparently it was totally mindblowing. That was pretty damn special (my mate said to me "You should have been there, man!"). Probably my biggest though - I could have been at Live8 for the Pink Floyd re-join. Twas awesomely exciting to watch on TV, but I was doing nothing that day, could have gone down. Tell me yours, there must be a ton of tragic stories kicking about in here. Come on you unlucky bastards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mhuxtable Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 Saw Sigur Ros on my 21st birthday in a small theatre (maybe holds 250 people). That was pretty damn incredible. Edit: just read the OP again and I got it backwards...whoops. Yeah I wasn't at Woodstock either...or for the Beatles on the Sullivan show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SFX system they had was incredible, all the best songs, top form, the works. Smashing Pumpkins were on after and we watched like 3 songs and went back to our tents.

Members Flogger59 Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well, in 1980 I had tickets to Zep's kickoff show for the North American tour in Montreal. Can't really say I wasn't there, because I was, but they weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mitre Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 In 2002, Midnight Oil played at the Taste of Chicago for free. I've been a big Midnight Oil fan for a long time and had never gotten to see them. I wanted to go, but 1) I can't stand Taste of Chicago and 2) they were playing immediately after the Indigo Girls. There was no way in hell I was going to wade through an audience of Indigo Girls fans to get close to the stage for the Oils, so I said "Screw it, I'll just see them when they come back." Then they broke up and Peter Garrett went into politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrChrisos Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 Had to leave this one for my Dad: He wanted to go to the Isle of Weight Festival in 1970. (Hendrix/The Who/Myles Davis/The Doors/Leonard Cohen) He was 17. His gran (his legal guardian) didn't let him go. He's still angry about it.
