I did a similar post as this in 2023, but since then, I’ve seen some of those bands\/artists or unfortunately will never see now because they are gone.<\/p>

So here is a revised version in 2025:<\/p>

I have seen many bands\/artists since my first concert in 1998.<\/p>

However, I have not seen everyone, and unfortunately, many I\u2019ll never see because they\u2019re dead, they don\u2019t come anywhere near me, or they just don\u2019t do it at all anymore.<\/p>

However, there are still some that I\u2019m going to see and hopefully will someday see.<\/p>

I wanted to show you my list of bands\/artists I\u2019m going to see soon or hope to someday see.<\/p>

Here they are:<\/p>

Jimmy Page-I\u2019m including him on this list as a hopeful, but it won\u2019t happen because he\u2019s unofficially retired.\u00a0 He\u2019s said for years that he will go back on the road and do shows, but he\u2019s yet to do it.\u00a0 But hey, I can keep hoping.\u00a0 Especially since he performed at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony in 2023, playing the Link Wray classic instrumental Rumble.\u00a0 Come on Jimmy!!<\/p>

Led Zeppelin-It will NEVER happen, but I can dream.\u00a0 However, I\u2019ve seen Robert Plant twice with Alison Krauss.\u00a0 I have Jimmy Page\u2019s autograph and dream I\u2019ll see him somehow someday.\u00a0 I’ve seen John Paul Jones 3 times, all in March of 2024.\u00a0 And I\u2019ve seen the son of John Bonham, Jason, 4 times with his Zeppelin tribute band Jason Bonham\u2019s Led Zeppelin Evening (was Experience) and twice with Sammy Hagar & The Circle.<\/p>

David Gilmour-He\u2019s the last member of Pink Floyd still around I have yet to see.\u00a0 I keep hoping.<\/p>

Ritchie Blackmore (Blackmore\u2019s Night)-I keep hoping but I doubt it because he and his wife\u2019s band do not play anywhere near me.<\/p>

Danko Jones-They seem to never play in America, but I keep hoping.<\/p>

Iggy Pop-Mariah and I would love to see Iggy, but again, I don\u2019t know because he only does so many shows now and most are nowhere near.<\/p>

Jake E. Lee-Great guitar player who had not been active for many years, but became active again a few years ago.\u00a0 Since COVID, though, he\u2019s been mostly quiet.\u00a0 So, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>

Mike + The Mechanics-I love this band and hope they play America again.\u00a0 If not, I\u2019ve seen the main man of the band, Mike Rutherford, with Genesis.<\/p>

Chris Holmes-Former guitarist of W.A.S.P., who is now a solo artist.\u00a0 He still makes albums and plays, but he has not played America in quite awhile.\u00a0 I keep hoping.<\/p>

The Cult-They still make albums and tour, but I always miss them, somehow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Britny Fox-One member still does occasional shows with a different lineup.\u00a0 However, I also keep hoping the classic lineup will reunite someday too.<\/p>

Black Oak Arkansas-Singer Jim Dandy is still going strong with a great lineup of people.\u00a0 They\u2019re only doing a few shows here and there, but I hope more will happen.<\/p>

Starz-They mostly play in New Jersey or near there it seems, but I hope they\u2019ll play near me someday.\u00a0 If not, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

Biohazard-They reunited in 2023 and have played a lot and have made a new album, so they may be possible.<\/p>

Bryan Adams-I was supposed to see him in 2023, but unfortunately, I got pneumonia, and could not go.\u00a0 I’m hoping to see him this year or someday, but if not, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

Fleetwood Mac-Probably not at this point, but maybe someday, I\u2019ll see Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham separately.<\/p>

Vandenberg-I was supposed to see Adrian Vandenberg in 2023, but was not able to.\u00a0 However, he and his band Vandenberg are Still making great albums and maybe I’ll get another chance.\u00a0 If not, I’m good.<\/p>

Steve Perry-It will never happen, but hey, I can hope.\u00a0 He\u2019s at least making albums again.<\/p>

Metal Church-Maybe someday.<\/p>

Nickelback-I would not mind seeing them, but if I don\u2019t, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

Limp Bizkit-I would not mind seeing them, but if I don\u2019t, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

Loudness-I was supposed to see them earlier in 2023, but they canceled.\u00a0 If I don\u2019t ever see them, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

Joe Satriani-I would not mind seeing him, but if not, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

Trans Siberian Orchestra-I\u2019ve wanted to see them for years, but I just never have.\u00a0 They come around all the time, but somehow, I always miss them.\u00a0 Maybe someday.<\/p>

CTA (California Transit Authority)-Drummer Danny Seraphine, founding member of the band Chicago, has a great band that have put out a few albums and do shows, but if I went, I\u2019d have to travel far, so he is doubtful.\u00a0 But if not, I have a signed 8\u00d710 of the band, he signed a CD and DVD for me, and signed his book for me.<\/p>

Peter Cetera-Another founding member of Chicago.\u00a0 He\u2019s been very quiet since COVID happened, so he may be doubtful.\u00a0 Either way, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

The Godz-They are back together and I hope to see them someday.<\/p>

Original Misfits-I\u2019ve seen everyone in this band separately, but not together.\u00a0 They\u2019ve only done a handful of big shows in the last few years, so we\u2019ll see.<\/p>

The Sweet-There are two versions of this band.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen one of them.\u00a0 The other seems to tour exclusively overseas, but hey, I can hope I\u2019ll see that version someday.\u00a0 Either way, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

Bachman-Turner Overdrive Featuring Randy Bachman-Maybe someday.\u00a0 If not, I’m good.<\/p>

The Guess Who-It is rumored they will tour in 2026.\u00a0 Here’s hoping.\u00a0 If not, I’ve seen their singer, Burton Cummings, in concert.<\/p>

.38 Special-Hopefully someday.<\/p>

Toto-Maybe someday.\u00a0 If not, I\u2019m good.\u00a0 I’ve seen their guitarist, Steve Lukather, twice.<\/p>

Phish-Maybe someday, but if not, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

Martin Barre-Former guitarist of Jethro Tull.\u00a0 I was supposed to see him in 2023, but he canceled for some reason.\u00a0 And this year he played somewhat near, but I couldn’t go.\u00a0 Maybe someday.\u00a0 If not, I\u2019m good.<\/p>

Manowar-They don\u2019t tour America now, but hopefully they will eventually.<\/p>

Van Morrison-I doubt it because he never comes anywhere near, but who knows.<\/p>

The Outlaws-Maybe someday, but if not, I’m good.<\/p>

The Marshall Tucker Band-I wouldn’t be against seeing them, but if not, I’m good.<\/p>

That\u2019s all I can think of.<\/p>

Yes that\u2019s still a lot, and hopefully, I\u2019ll see most of them someday, but if not, I\u2019m good.\u00a0<\/p>

Either way, I will always love concerts and I cannot live without music in my life.<\/p>

Maybe someday I’ll revise this list again with an even shorter list because I’ve seen most or all of these listed above.\u00a0 Again, here’s hoping.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
