Concert Bills you wish you attended

[Fall of Epic]

What concerts tours/bills do you wish you attended but didn't due to being too young, not born yet, or had something else going that night?

I think the top of my list is the infamous Metallica/Gun N' Roses stadium tour in 1992. Faith No More opened so really, there's no greater tour that catered to my favorite artists. I was only 6 at the time so no way could I have gone.

Me and probably only Laz are kicking ourselves that we didn't experience the Pantera/White Zombie tour of 1996!

This is a good one: Beastie Boys/Rollins Band/Cypress Hill tour in 1992. Pretty sick line-up.

Ones that I personally missed out on are Red Hot Chili Peppers (during Californication era) and Foo Fighters co headlining and Weezer (on The Green Album) tour with Tenacious D and Jimmy Eat World opening. Those were both because I was too young to go to concerts on weeknights. My older brother went to the latter.

I hemmed and hawed and missed out on getting to see tickets for Green Day (on American Idiot) tour with My Chemical Romance opening. I'm not a massive fan of either but it would've been awesome to say "I was there" for ultimate 2004-05 rock concert.

Not music but Mitch Hedburg played a local theater like three weeks before he died. Tickets were cheap enough even for teenage Kamala/2005 standards. Like $12 or $15 but for whatever reason, I thought "I'll just see him next time he comes around". *headslap*


Historically, love to have been around for Black Sabbath/Van Halen tour in '78. Or Blue Oyster Cult/The Stooges/KISS on New Years Eve 1973 when Gene Simmons almost lit the venue on fire.

One of the few I wished I had attended was a twin bill in 1996 (when I was just 11 years old) to see Smashing Pumpkins and Garbage in November when they hit the Fleetcenter. My babysitter and a few friends attended it at the time but I was too young to go with them. Even at the time I was a fan of Garbage and that could've been a good show.

Found a video performance of theirs from 1995 though! Apparently the date was 1995-11-14 at the Axis.

My dad went to this. He went with some friends who had taken LSD, and he wanted to, but he had to drive them home. The show was at Anaheim Stadium and they had a fake Van Halen skydive into the stadium.

Sammy Hagar played underneath those two. Boston were the final act and everyone left before that. Apparently this was also where Hagar met VH.
