Too young for many of the acts I like now: those I regret not making the effort to see in no particular order
Johnny Cash (actually this is probably my biggest regret, when he reinvented himself after Rick Rubin, he played here and I was too preoccupied with other stuff to sort out seeing him) Leonard Cohen Bobby Womack (he was due to play at a festival I had tickets for when he died) David Bowie Eric Bogle Kate Bush Dolly Parton Old Crow Medicine Show firehose
There are almost certainly loads more but I don't really want to dwell on regrets. And obviously for some of them it's not too late, part of the problem is I'm not a fan of very large venues.
I was lucky enough to see Eric Bogle a few times in Glasgow folk clubs, some brilliant songs and a very engaging guy.
As far as who I wished I had seen I agree about Bob Marley, others would be Gram Parsons, Grand Champeen and Ian Dury.
It’s just been announced that Simply Red are coming to Copenhagen next December. Not a massive fan of Hucknell but I quite enjoy their music if I’m honest and the venue is great (ticket price reasonable too).
Has anyone here seen them live before? Are they decent?

Not seen Simply Red but saw Mick Hucknall play with Jeff Beck a few years ago at a charity gig at Kenney Jones (Small Faces/Faces/The Who) polo club. He also sang Stay With Me with an all star band.
Like you, not a massive fan of him but he can certainly belt out a tune.

I saw them about 5 years ago and found them quite boring. But if you like Simply Red/Mick Hucknall you should enjoy it, as his voice was still good (5 yrs ago).
The Specials ABBA Bad Manners * Human League * Blondie * * Saw these when they reformed, Bad Manners were a disgrace, they turned up late for the gig. Human League are the best band live, their encore is always Electric Dreams(a bit like I have for Susan Ann Sulley). One of the best gigs I have even been to was in the mid 90's at Wembley Arena, Gary Glitter supported by Village People.
