I'd love to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Queens of the Stone Age. Eminem would be fun, too.

...Saw Hall and Oates play, of all places, Crawley Leisure Centre early '90's I think. Hall (or maybe Oates) gazed wistfully around the venue during the gig and uttered '"....25 years in the business, Crawley Leisure Centre eh?..." They were very good I recall.
Gary Numan was brilliant at the Brighton Centre, early 80s, I'm sure I saw him twice but I can't remember if it was the Dome or the Centre.
I've also seen OMD, but that was over 30 years ago, The Dome I think.
Wish I had kept all my ticket stubs now.

I cannot say enough good things about Springsteen as a live act. For me, there is NOTHING to rival the sight and sound of him and the E Street Band in full flow.
I'd have had them on my list before Glenn Frey passed, but even if they do carry on it wouldn't be anything like the same now in my view.
It'd be like Queen without Freddie, just missing that vital ingredient that makes the whole thing work.

Geht in Ordnung
I saw Tom Russell a few years ago in Midhurst, of all places. Great gig! Drive By Truckers are a great live band, although I think there was a bit more light and shade in their performances and songwriting when Jason Isbell was still with them.
Top three artists I'd like to see live:
Leonard Cohen
P J Harvey
Lucinda Williams
Artists I wish I'd seen, but sadly never will:
Warren Zevon
Townes van Zandt
Little Feat (with Lowell George)
Sandy Denny
Muddy Waters
Jeff Buckley
Arthur Lee/Love

Saw Billy Joel at Wembley in September, absolutely brilliant show, what an artist, saw The Who this year as well, just need to see Springsteen, then I'll be happy !!
Three of the artists I would want to see have/are all playing locally in October. 10cc (welll Graham Goldman + session musicians) were at the Congress Theatre last week, The Feeling played Concord 2 last Friday and I'm off to the De La Warr on 25th October to see Neil Hanlon/Divine Comedy. My cup runneth over.
Yeah I went to that, 1980 I think because by 1981 he was too big for venues in towns and played back to back nights at Wembley. First music gig I ever saw

**** the haters, I think he's ace. Friday morning I'm hoping to bag a ticket to one of his gigs next June.I was so close to watching them play live earlier this year but it started tipping down with rain and the festival was cancelled just before they came on stage.
-----------------
My other two choices though would be Stevie Wonder and New Order (they're still going, right?)
New Order played Glastonbury this year, I didn't go but I enjoyed watching them on TV.
Not sure why I have never seen them live, definitely one of my favourite bands.
