I saw The Jam way back in 1981, when 2 Tone trousers and Pods were all the rage. I’d love to have the chance to see them again and take my lad, who’s turned into a real music buff.

+1 for The Jam, I saw them in 82 at Wembley arena, first concert I had ever been to, I was 15.
Would loved to have seen The Specials too, loved that two-tone sound.

Nirvana. No doubt about it. The single most important band in shaping my musical taste and arguably the most important band for guitar music ever.

Saw them the other year (minus Neville Staple) so would love to have seen the original line up to compare the two (think we all know the original was the best).

Others I'd like to see would be Fish and Marillion (obviously), Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac (with Buckingham back in) Led Zep and Queen (although I did see Queens a few times)

Led Zeppelin, I have them on for hours a day whilst driving, huge Jimmy Page fan.

Kiss, saw them live in Germany with the little known warm up band at the time, called Iron Maiden!

Never saw them but love their music, would have loved the chance to see them perform, Procol Harum.

My first ever concert. 1987 in Belfast. Would love to see that show again.

Fish has been very upfront that it won't happen (aside from the fact his voice won't hit the notes and the band have said they won't change the keys). In a roundabout way, I saw Marillion on the Seasons End tour (first without Fish) and thought they really good and that Fish has done some brilliant solo work in his 30 year career since. Fish did both Misplaced Childhhood and Clutching At Straws in full in his last tours and they were still evocative.

For me a Marillion gig with Fish playing all the hits (and Misplaced in full) would be perfect. I am a simple soul

Original Genesis lineup has already been mentioned so I'll go Acid Bath. Great underground band who sadly only did 2 albums before the bass player died in a traffic accident.

If we're going off the radar, I'll also pick a band from my college days - called Hot Water. (Not to be confused with a more recent band called Hot Water Music). An 8 piece rock band but had a brilliant Sax rhythm section driving the whole thing along. Generally played around North Wales in the late 70s. Saw them several time and would be grand to see them again. John Peel liked them and gave them airtime on the radio, but they never took off big time. Shame.
