So many. :(  I got my fix from football and that seemed to be enough for me at the time but I really wish in hindsight I'd seen (to name but a few) :

Fishbone

Prince

Stone Roses

Okay, assumed you meant realistically could have seen, not necessarily those you could have seen unless you had time-travelled, were of age, or avoided when they were shite!

No, whatever you like, time travel is permitted!

Think they did their first tour of the UK in '89 and my sister went down to Leeds to see them (she was living in York at the time); said they were mental!  Hate her too, haha.

 

If time travel is in then it makes it even harder (well, maybe not!) ...

Funkadelic

Rolling Stones (at Altamont, hey why not!)

The Specials

Haha loved them back in the day.  Always feel a bit sad they were wrecked so badly through drugs. 😁

The Kinks

 

I saw them a couple of times at the Playhouse. Always a great gig. 
 

Obviously loads of classics but a real regret was never seeing The Stranglers before Hugh Cornwell left.

Black Sabbath at Download 2012, had the chance to go but turned it down to go on holiday. 

Soundgarden before Cornell died. 

 

And every band rock band from the 60's and 70's before I was born.

You could extend this to bands you saw but didn't see at a particular era.    I've seen The Damned about 15 to 20 times from the mid 80s but really wish I could have seen the Brian James era band un 76 or 77,  as well as the Paul Gray era band in the early 80s.

All the punk ones I seen in their prime.

Weller done the right thing wrapping up The Jam when he did. I just wish Strummer did it earlier with The Clash. I could have went to see them when it was a five piece with only Stummer and Paul S but glad I declined.

Buzzcocks, Untertones were the only ones who pulled it off really later in the 80’s 90’s. Damned were decent in the 80’s when the Captain took to the guitar.

Natural progression like Joy Division to New Order was the way to do it. Seen both and it really worked.

COULD HAVE GOT FREEBIES FOR THEM ALL BUT MY PUNK ETHICS GOT IN THE WAY


Ha, ain’t that the truth !

Seen Thin Lizzy when Jailbreak came out.

Still up there as one of the best gigs ever. Brian Robertson on guitar. Would have liked to have seen them with Gary Moore, a quite magnificent guitarist, but punk’s hook was in deep !

Alice Cooper was another. Huge fan but never got the chance to see him/them.

Played recently with original line-up but thought it would be a bit naff, so declined that. Hydro in Glasgow...no thanks !

Too many to mention as I haven't been to many concerts, but in light of my comment on the other thread, I'd have to pick ones I didn't see but could've at TITP 2004, The Charlatans, Kasabian, Wu Tang Clan just to name a few.

Saw Cooper twice in the late 90's and early 2002, he was brilliant I was not a huge fan at the time but this won me over. If you get a chance go see him.

I passed up the opportunity to see Pink Floyd in Rotterdam in 1998 or 99, can't remember why.

Alice Cooper was my first gig, he was epic! Mate of mine's just been on tour with him in Australia actually, said the whole band and crew are top, top people.
