For me, I'd still like to see the Black Crowes, Gov't Mule, Arcade Fire, a full My Morning Jacket show (seen them opening for Pearl Jam and the hour long set they did at Lolla '07 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra), and any classic rock bands that don't come to mind that I have not yet seen, like the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, etc.

I'm officially crossing The Black Crowes off the list on October 24th at Terminal 5. On the flip side, I had to agree to no longer pursue Pearl Jam tickets for the Friday night Barclays show.

The National. That's probably the list for me at this point as I've seen most of the other bands I'm into enough to drop $100+ on for one night. It helped being in college in the 90s with all of those festivals. NIN is the only other band I can think of but I'm pretty sure I'm OK with never seeing them live.

I've heard rumors that The Roots are coming to South America in November, but haven't found any concrete info

They're definitely playing a festival in Brazil (https://www.songkick.com/festivals/1818 ... tival-2013), but no official dates have been announced for other shows in this continent.

Crossing off Nick Cave next month.

I think the only thing left after that is a proper Libertines gig. Not Doherty solo, not Babyshambles. Seen all of that, multiple times.

Reading this thread I feel pretty lucky.

Thought this more of an Enemy List of Bands.

But uh, yeah I'd like to see Bill Callahan sometime soon.

I've been pretty lucky that a number of my favorite bands have played Buffalo in recent years, so I've been able to see many great shows. That said, I feel a need to see these acts someday:

Do Make Say Think
Animal Collective
Sandro Perri
Eric Chenaux
Mogwai
Grails
Carla Bozulich/Evangelista
65daysofstatic
Tindersticks

I'd like to see Pearl Jam, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, and Arcade Fire at some point, but I don't think I could ever convince myself to attend an arena show, or pay arena prices. I also get bummed out about the fact that I'll never get to see Oceansize or Vic Chesnutt.
