As a musician, I've never once regretted paying for concert tickets because I'm able to take something away from even really disappointing shows. I enjoy them the vast majority of the time and the bad ones are educational for me.

I have two hugely regrettable missed concerts though:

1. I was vacationing in the UK at the same time Big Star played a concert at Hyde Park in 2009 but didn’t plan to be there. Alex Chilton would pass away the following year.

2. I skipped seeing 808s at the Hollywood Bowl because I was broke and had just seen Kanye at FYF Fest. Stupid.

Not seeing Ye live before he fell off

Not seeing Travis live in a venue smaller than an arena

Going to the DONDA 2 show in 2022 and having my ear drums destroyed for one of the worst live performances ever because I had faith he’d at least perform a few of his classics

I was in the crowd laughing so hard at the Fivio s*** I legitimately thought I was going to die

Hardest I’ve laughed in years that s*** was ridiculous

I regret not seeing Clockcleaner, Shellac, Puffy Areolas, Jay Reatard and the Jesus Lizard (only one of these I can still maybe remedy).

yes, i went to the mall here in Houston and they were handing out GNX tour tickets for 70$ damn near the pit

so we took it and it was such a lackluster show. Mustard was runnng out of breath whenever he kept yelling sike and was sweating way too much into his equipment . SZA was literally not singing at all it was all backing tracks and Kendrick kept screaming his lyrics in order to show "energy"

2/10 show, Rich Baby Daddy was the only song that had the crowd semi turnt

Saw Dave Chappelle. He wasn't really funny and went on a long ass tangent about Chuck Berry that didn't land because most of the audience didn't know who that is

Went to a local 3 day festival. The headliners and only people I actually went to see were JID and Denzel Curry. Didn't enjoy it at all, realized I'm too old for that festival s***. Had to sit down and fell asleep during Denzel's set

Saw Shakatak with my dad about 2 years ago. Mfs are old, the female vocalist wasn't hitting like she should have

only big concert regret is Kendrick Damn tour, most expensive ticket I ever got but venue was total s***, basically couldn't see nor hear anything lol. plus my friend was late and missed James Blake opening and also forgot it was my bday at midnight 🙂

also lowkey primavera sound 22 was mad overpriced and not even that enjoyable, just way too crammed + insane they made bringing water illegal and only had one single fountain on the whole site to fill a bottle. kind of turned me off big festivals. but tbf I also caught covid on the first day and powered through whole weekend w a fever lmao

but yh all the best music events I've been to have cost at most 30 bucks tbh

i missed a death grips concert because i didnt figure theyll be on in the evening when i had my flight back. but as part of that event thinking back id rather had seen sophie or black midi

almost went to sunn and swans concerts but didnt end up going. my two best friends traveled for a metallica concert and i didnt go to the concert but we traveled together. those arent as much regrets since i dont care for live music but yeah definitely notable misses

Also, I never got to see David Bowie before he stopped touring. I was 13 at the time but I wish I’d asked my parents to take me to his 2004 show in Pittsburgh. Would have been an amazing first concert
