Adrian Belew & The Bears and Bob Dylan had played at my local campus (not in the same show, unfortunately). The former I should have gone to just to get a taste of Belew's solo stuff and the latter, well, it's Bob Dylan.

Dream Theater opening for Yes, I think on the Train of Thought tour. Either in Indianapolis or Fort Wayne. My hometown. No one ever plays Fort Wayne. And I didn't go. Ugh.

shouldn't this be a separate thread?
 
I went to a Jeff Healey concert in the late 1980s that was painfully bad.  The music was crap and it was so badly mixed that it sounded even worse than it was.  Walked out after 3 songs, totally not worth the bother and expense.

Shocking!

Voivod touring in France in 2009: Paris, then Hellfest.
I didn't know for their Paris concert (I just moved in the capital just a couple of weeks before), and I couldn't afford to go to the Hellfest.

Seconded! Saw them during the Hazards of Love tour, simply fantastic!

^ it may have been the Hazards of Love tour (I wasn't interested enough to find out).  Not for me, but music is a big tent and there's lots of room for different tastes. The Decembrists aren't mine, that's all.

Last Black Sabbath tour.

And I also missed Tangerine Dream last year...

Pink Floyd 'Animals' tour in '77.
Couldn't get a ticket even though they did 4 nights at Madison Square Garden in NYC. Unhappy

Also, passed on Tangerine Dream in spring of '77, saw Kansas instead. Kansas was so-so while the TD tour ended up on the 'Encore' album, which is tremendous. Caught TD in 1982 at Radio City-- excellent show, with Andy Summers of the Police opening on solo electric guitar and lots of effects pedals--quite a mind-blower!

These were on a college budget, so I don't beat myself up any more:
'77 Brand X, in nearby Sacramento.
'79 Tull/U.K. (went instead on campus at UC Davis to see Stephen Stills/Larry Carlton. Not bad, but . . .)
'80 Car broke down on the way to the Duke tour Censored
'80 Lack of transportation to the Drama tour, in London.

I'm going to be missing this "final" Rush tour. I've never seen them live, and the closest show to me (LA) completely sold out before I had the chance to purchase tickets. Truly sad about this :(
