Living in the midwest the closest city to see a decent show is four hours away. I always had a list of bands I wanted to see before I died. Sort of a "Concert Bucket List." Back in the day when I was a teen many bands would come to Indianapolis, but over the years they seem to bypass Indy and go straight to St. Louis or Chicago. It's about a four hour drive, but the longest most boring drive ever! Well maybe except driving through Kansas..now that's boring! Since it's a long haul, I don't get to see many shows and over the years finding people to go with is a battle. Everyone is busy with work, kids, etc. I understand it, but concerts for me are somewhat of an energy boost. It's like recharging my battery. So I'm going to put out my Concert Bucket List. Please comment and let me know who's on your list!
-David Byrne/Talking Heads -New Order -White Lies -DEVO -Madonna -Rolling Stones -PJ Harvey -The Damned -Depeche Mode -U2 -Gary Numan Who's on your list?

Many, many years ago I got to see U2 and Pink Floyd within the same year, in one of those huge 80,000 seat echo domes. I remember it well because one was a stunning experience and the other was such a let-down that I would never consider them live again. Pink Floyd had spent some three months setting up the acoustics to eliminate echoes and other artifacts, while U2 did not. The end result of the U2 performance was a 2 second gap between the audio and the "video". Band was waving good-bye while the last drum beats still echoed...
