    So, what would be your dream live gig that has already been performed but you didnt get a chance to see it.
    The gig you would love to say "I was there".
    The artist(s) can be alive and still performing, or not, or dead.
    Mine would have to be Queen at Wembley. I would have given my right arm to have seen that.

    I attended that gig, wasn't a huge Queen fan but it was a great concert - my choice to see a gig (festival) would possibly be Woodstock to watch Santana

    In Queen's very early days saw them at Dagenham Roundhouse on a Wednesday night because they wasn't popular/big enough to play Saturdays Night's cost about £2

    I wish I had seen a couple of my favourite bands before they were famous at proper small dingy venues......Pearl Jam or Oasis. Saw Green Day at the Leadmill in Sheffield just before they took off. That was a decent gig.

    Free at the Locarno ballroom (Mecca) in Sunderland 1972/3 ish. Recorded some of the live album there and Kossoff allegedly fell off stage.

    I was at that gig Gil and it was fu-king brill and since then after listening to a million albums i have decided fire and water is my favorite album of all time, watched an interview with Paul Rodgers talking about Paul Kossoff when he died and I was in tears never seen it again and can't find it anywhere.

    Already achieved it!

    Springsteen at Wembley in 89. He was on stage over 4 hours. It didn't let up for a minute, even when he left the stage for 15 minutes.

    I do like a bit of the Boss like, throwback from me mum, she used to love him, was on repeat, hated it at the time, then you get older, it becomes a fond memory, and then something you genuinely like.

    Stone Roses at the Hacienda, would just loved to have been a part of the Hacienda at the time and seeing the Roses there would have been the icing on the cake.

    Tiesto anywhere in Holland, I love Tiesto the mans an absolute legend, I also love Holland. Seeing Tiesto do a homecoming over there would be very special indeed.

    Absolutely. Imagine a line up of the Stone Roses, New Order and the Happy Mondays. Imagine if Ian Curtis didn't kill himself and Joy Division got to play the Hacienda. I'd have got so off my nut my brain would cracked through the top of my skull and floated off.

    AC/DC absolutely anywhere. I watch them on You Tube when they played the University of Essex in the early seventies. Let There Be Rock with the great Bon Scott is magical

    I was at that one and you missed a treat, I also saw Free do their first concert in Sunderland one Monday night at the old Bay Hotel, entrance fee about 2/6d and there were only about 100 in.

    Would have loved to have seen the Doors or the Clash. When I was a young lad in the early 80s I went to watch the Stranglers, U2 and Echo and the Bunnymen in the space of a couple of weeks at the City Hall.

    What an introduction to music.
