What bands (other than them) do you regret never having seen live?
For me, the first that pops to mind is Alice in Chains.

I never got to see XTC, but then they stopped touring when I was an infant ;-)
I didn't get a chance to see BNL in their pre-Stunt days. Which means that I'll likely never be able to afford to see them ;-) I've also never managed to catch Ben Folds (Five or solo) Oh, and I didn't get a chance to see Simon and Garfunkel on their last tour. Before that I used to say that a Simon and Garfunkel reunion tour was one of the only concerts I'd be willing to shell out $40+ for. Apparently that was a lie ;-) None of this mentions all of the folkish groups I'd like to see, but I expect to see them play at some point. ![]()
simon and garfunkel was one of the best shows i saw in 2003.
i've seen ben solo a bunch of times, but i really wish i'd seen a five show. also rem with bill berry (seeing them iin 2003 was an amazing experience, but i missed bill very much). i don't think i'd have wanted to see the beatles, as weird as that might sound. i got annoyed enough with the teenyboppers at fruvous and jump, little children shows. ![]() ![]()
My dad saw The Beatles live, couldn't hear a thing over all the fan girls screaming.

See, if I had the choose, I'd rather see him solo (not that I could see the full band if I wanted to). I like all of his albums (although I do have a preference for his later work), and seeing him today would give the greatest range to the set list. Other than the stylistic evolution (which was evident in later BFF stuff too), I don't hear much of a difference between him with or without a band. I imagine if BFF got back together, the shows would be different, but the set lists would likely be similar.
Just curious, have you listened at all to his live album? Is it that you don't like how he sounds solo, or is it that you don't like the stylistic direction? ![]()
stylistic direction, definitely.
Like, I found BFF to be brilliant to the same extent that I found ben folds solo material to be unlistenable. It's just... hidious. It's like some bastard child of Burt Bacharach took over his body and made him do stuff that was like.....Burt Bacharach. *shudder* ![]() Ben Fold is touring with Rufus Wainwright now.. which I'm thrilled about. I'm taking my best friend to see them for her 18th birthday. She's more to see Ben, and I for Rufus... Rufus is one of the acts I've missed the last 6 times he's been in my area.. gosh-darn age restrictions x_x I think I might actually go see Nine Inch Nails if they come back. I've been told Trent puts on one hell of a show... however, this might mean I'd have to sit through Queens of the Stone Age.. ![]() ![]()
Sandy Denny is a good choice. Golden age Fairport Convention with her on lead vocals and Richard Thompson on guitar is way up on my list.

I think the Prine fans being a problem is a chicago thing. Of course I only saw him once, at the Fleadh, I saw Fruvous at there too. He is awesome live in and out of Chicago.

As you've mentioned Kate Wolf 3 times I have to ask if you've seen Nanci Griffith?
The only one on your list I've seen is Pete but I've seen him more times than I can count. ![]() ![]()
nick drake and steve goodman are definitely at the top of my solo artist list.
i'm so glad that i've seen pete seeger. ![]() ![]()
The Late Great Dave Van Ronk is the one performer I'd take my non-folk music fans to go see with me. They always had the same reaction, "He's so cool."
