Pablo Picasso.

Johannes Vermeer.

also the fear of god in meeting Hieronymus Bosch - I will never forget.

Siblings can be savage like that - especially the older ones! My (much older) sister saw Led Zep, Slade and my brother in law saw The Beatles regularly atThe Cavern, and he hated them - we never agreed about music!

He was dating someone at the time who was a Fab Fan - think it was pure jealousy!

I missed two because of last minute work panics that I now regret.

Queen at their first MK concert.
George Michael in Brussels
I had tickets for both and gave them away.

The one I wished I’d been around for was the Beatles rooftop performance.

Led Zeppelin.

I could - in theory, have gone to Knebworth, in '79 - but didn’t.
Thought I would see then… ‘next time’… :frowning_face:

But I have seen Pink Floyd (twice) and King Crimson… Oh and Queen… 5 times… :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, I went to a Scotland rugby game at Murrayfield some years ago, giving up a ticket to see Jeff Buckley in London that week-end. I thought that I’d see him ‘next time’, but (tragically) he never made it back to London.

I saw that tour…unfortunately Caravanserai hadn’t been released so it was all unknown.
