What band do you WISH you had gotten to see live?

[maybelooking]

Ive been a musician since I was 14 years old. Currently 51. I started playing drums at that age of 14. I have been to a LOT of concerts. I came of age musically during the AWESOME time of the 1980s. Hair bands and "glam metal" was my thing. When I was around 16 years old I was introduced to RUSH by a friend of mine. My life was changed forever. I have been a Neil Peart fan ever since.

I have spent literally WEEKS in a drum room working on learning his music. He was much MUCH more than a drummer. He was literally a modern day composer. When his death was announced it was a gut punch that I cant really describe. As silly as it sounds, it felt like I had lost a relative.

Well as I am sure you have figured out by the title of the thread.....I GREAT REGRET not getting to see Rush live. As home theater is another hobby of mine, I have seen their live performances on a 120 inch screen with a pretty amazing surround sound set up but its just not the same.

Dont put off till tomorrow what you want to do today. You just may not get the chance.
