In the wrong band
Assuming you could go back in time what bands would you have liked to have seen live?

Me:

Queen (With Freddy)
The Beatles
U2 - Everything from Lovetown to Elevation.
 
The Smiths
Talking Heads
Jeff Buckley
The Jesus & Mary Chain
Joy Division

There are also lots of bands/artists that I wish like hell I could have seen them earlier than I did (i.e. U2, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, The Cure). These bands all did some of their best tours while I was still growing up or was in high school (I wasn't allowed to go to concerts until after I graduated).

Pearl Jam is at the top of their league now, believe me. This tour is the best ever. I agree with you regarding other bands.
Led Zeppelin for me. What I would give to see those Gods on stage.
