Ah, that's one I left of the list, Sisters of Mercy at the Astoria
circa First and Last tour, also the Royal Albert Hall gig.

And I did see The Stranglers at the Rainbow, although my
memories of the gig are chiefly of gangs of nazi skins
beating the shit out of the crowd, each other, cops outside
the venue etc. More gory days than glory days

Would have liked to see White Stripes in their early days at
a small venue...

Of  Leigh's list (not to gloat or anything)...

-I saw Skinny Puppy on the VIVIsectVI tour and the Too Dark Park tour  
(still have the shirts from both).

- Never saw NoMeansNo, which I deeply regret
- I saw Faith No More open for VoiVod and Soundgarden at a tiny club  
in Brooklyn called L'amour (this was circa THE REAL THING/NOTHINGFACE/ 
LOUDER THAN LOVE, respectively).

- Never saw The Jesus Lizard, sadly.

I *DID* see Mr.Bungle twice circa their first major label album,  
which was amazing.

Apart from Killing Joke...
I saw Cop Shoot Cop nine or ten times throughout their career
I saw Jane's Addiction four or five times circa RITUAL...
I saw the first Buzzcocks reunion show at the Ritz with all original  
members (minus Howard, of course)
I saw Julian Cope on the PEGGY SUICDE tour and the 20 MOTHERS tour  
(just him, a guitar and a mic)
I saw Bad Brains on the QUICKNESS tour
I saw Devo on the New Traditionalists tour and the Oh No! IT's Devo  
tour.
I saw the Circle Jerks (circa WONDERFUL) at a tiny club.
I saw Motorhead on the 1916 tour
I've seen the White Stripes a handful of times in relatively  small  
venues.
I saw the Jesus & Mary Chain circa DARKLANDS
I saw fIREHOSE circa RAGIN' FULL ON.
I saw Black Flag circa SPLIT IT IN
I saw the Ramones, the Pixies, the Replacements,...

I don't know. It's too early to think.

Biggest regrets:
Never saw the Stranglers
Never saw the Sisters of Mercy circa FIRST AND LAST...
Never saw XTC (though their cease in touring made that tough for  
EVERYbody)
