I regret not seeing Queen or Bowie live on stage. I do hope to see Springsteen before it is too late for both of us.
I tried to get tickets to see Coldplay again but failed. However, I always go to watch Elbow in concert %!

I have always liked Bowie but when I saw him live, I was most disappointed. Basically he said he'd sing what he wanted, not what we wanted and we could suck it up. I went right off him.

My first concert was Max Bygraves at the local cinema when I was 10! From that day onwards I was hooked, everyone who came to our local cinema, from Roy Orbison to the Beatles, the Stones, the Hollies and all the greats of the 60s, some of them many times over. 1969 I got married so the 70s were full of having kids and family life. In the 80's I went to Knebworth with everyone from Status Quo to Pink Floyd,, Elton John, Phil Collins and Eric Clapton, so many stars there. I also used to go to all the Eric Clapton gigs at The Royal Albert Hall well into the 90s. The only one I can think of to regret not seeing is Elvis, especially in his younger days, not so much once he'd been 'Vegased'.

Blondie and Wings

We had tickets to see Heart & Squeeze but Anne Wilson wasn’t well & so the whole show was cancelled. Disappointed I didn’t get to see Squeeze 😔

Queen, with Freddie I would have love to have seen, thought we had time with him.
I have been going regularly to concerts since I was about 14 yrs old (my parents were good at that) so have been fortunate to have seen some amazing folk. Sadly too young to see The Beetles but seen The Stones only few years ago.
NELLBELL.. I did see Marc Bolan and Victoria Wood (x3 times).
My Late parents even flew twice to the USA to see Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett in New York, would have love to have seen them too.

Frank Sinatra when he played in Glasgow early 90,s. Just couldn't afford it back then. Still regret it.

icangandthemback - I eventually saw David Cassidy in the early 2000's and like you I went right off him when he started some some obscure song and people were shouting for him carry on singing his own songs. After all, that's what we'd all gone for. He got annoyed, threw his guitar to the back of the stage and walked off. Shocking. He came back after about 5 minutes and said fine, if that's what you want. He was clearly angry. Me and my friend said we'd never follow him again.
Visgirl - massively envious.

I am surprised icanhandthemback. Saw Bowie many times, into double figures and while he always played numbers from a new album which was to be expected, he always did 'old favourites' too.

Saw David Cassidy in the 70's and again in the 2000's; great both times.

We saw Victoria Wood once. We were lucky enough to see Tony Bennett twice at Birmingham Symphony Hall. He was amazing.

Worked in a children’s hospital in the East End and we used to get free tickets to concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. Saw most of the 60’s bands, brilliant times!

My friend went to see David Cassidy and he got mad when they joined in singing one of his famous numbers. I believe he had people removed from the audience. He was so up himself, they went right off him.

Perhaps he was having a bad day. It was a festival which was reflecting on his 70's stuff but he wasn't having any of it. His 70's preferences were very different from the audience's! Perhaps he didn't like to be told what was expected of him. I was very surprised about his attitude.
Mind you, at the same gig, Steve Harley disappointed me because he obviously hadn't warmed up his voice so the first half of the set wasn't as good. I thought that was bad form too.
The Who were there as well...absolutely fantastic professionals.

I went to see the Rolling Stones in the early sixties and it cost me a weeks pocket money - 10 shillings. I saw them again in the early 2000’s and it cost me a weeks pension Well worth it on both occasions!
