DJJasonp thought this might be a good topic for a thread. I listed these in the First Concert thread. Figured it might be easier to break them out of the other thread. I'm sure there are more that I will come up with later.
In no order:
Van Halen with David Lee Roth
Journey
Motley Crue
Guns N' Roses
Kid Rock
Ozzy
White Zombie

A lot of other 80's bands i would've liked to seen. [Reply]
Unfortunately I was only 3 at the time, but man I’d give a lot to have seen them when they were touring with Adrian Belew as part of the band. If anyone hasn’t seen it, look for the Live in Rome show on YouTube. Incredible. [Reply]

That’s why they are my biggest regret. The other bands I wish I could have seen were either extinct or past their prime by the time I was old enough to go to concerts. The Heads are one of my all time favorites and were in their prime while I was in my my teens and twenties. I should have made a determined effort to see them before they broke up.
I agree about the Rome show. They were a great live band. The Name of This Band is Talking Heads is very under appreciated, IMO. [Reply]
Pink Floyd back in the Dark Side/Wall days. The Sex Pistols. The Clash. Iron Maiden or Judas Priest when they were unknown and in small venues (I've seen them both in arenas). Van Halen. Boston. Talking Heads. Alice in Chains. Nirvana or Pearl Jam when they were unknown. Mother Love Bone. Jimi Hendrix. The Beatles. Shit, you could go on and on, there have been so many great acts... [Reply]
Gotta add My Morning Jacket at Red Rocks. While I was physically there, I didn't account for the altitude and got way wasted and don't remember anything past the 1st song. Still exceedingly upset with myself over that one. The videos look incredible. :/ [Reply]

Queen

B-52's
