Kinda... but no.
It´s King Crimson. I have seen Fripp with G3 (horrible show) and with the League of guitarist (great show). I have seen Trey Gunn (mindblowing) and Tony Levin (with Gabriel, boring as hell)... but never King Crimson

I saw Rush last year, at the Bell Center here in Montreal.
It was great !
I saw Supertramp too, at the Bell Center again, and I must say that I loved the show, more than the Rush show (even If Im a bigger Rush fan overall), they were just at the top of their shape.
But I would absolutely love to see Symphony X live, its my favorite band, I know every tune by heart (or almost!).

Did you see Fripp tour with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai? Fripp opened the Chicago show playing his Soundscapes stuff, and a wild-man guitarist (later found out to be Mike Keneally) was playing all sorts of Robert Fripp-like distortion-guitar leads on top of the sound loops!!
It was INCREDIBLE!! By far, the best music of the night, and an insight for a new way to use Soundscapes!! Keneally sounded just like the RF of LTIA days, blew my mind! Keneally came back onstage later & played with Satriani's band, quite a jaw-dropping performance....two Zappa alums going at it!
I met Keneally at a local music shop & asked him if any of that were filmed or recorded, and he said that, sadly, it wasn't.
Anyway, sorry you missed Crimso, they never disappointed! I saw LTIA in Chicago (no Miur, sadly) with, uh, Peter Frampton opening!! Didn't see them again until Discipline tour (by that time, I knew Fripp personally), missed the Beat show in Chicago because the outdoor venue was flooded, caught 3 of a Perfect Pair in Minneapolis, Thrak in Chicago, and then I lost track of them all. Sadly, I missed SBB and Red tours! Can't have it all.
Saw RF with Soundscapes many times, he should have soloed over his loops like he used to with the Revox Frippertronics!! I've seen Belew a bunch of times, so many that he sort of recognizes me when he sees me. Met Broof once, kind of a comedian....
Thank God for all the amazing video that survived those times!! Here, dig this!!

hey, Chuck, i know i've said this before, but i'll say it again, it must have been totally awesome when you saw Triumvirat open for Fleetwood Mac in the seventies! And considering it was the band with the Jurgen Fritz, Helmut Koellen, and Hans Bathelt lineup-man, i bet that is a memory you will hold on to.

Oh yeah Hawkwind and More Hawkwind i first saw them at the Reading festival 1975 and have lost count how many times i have seen them since. would be well over 500 times in so many various settings festivals small clubs etc one my fav venue's to see the hawks was always Hammersmith Odean they always did good gigs there.
Then there the gig i saw them do on flatbed truck in laybye at the side of the Rd and of course the wonderful and infamous Treworgey Tree Fair there really isn't nothing like a Hawkwind Gig.
Will have to sit have a think and make a list of all the Porg bands i have seen over years memory not what it was haha.
will be back with said list later . also have to give a shout out to the Gong Family which also seen many times over the years and in many different guises .

Zappa retired from touring before I started going to shows. I did see his son though, before I retired from going to shows.
Also seen Rush (3 times, I think), the Jethros, the Moodies, Neurosis (opening for Pantera!), Kansas, Floyd (post-Waters), Primus, Tool (with Meshuggah opening) and that's all I can think of. (Do TSO count?)
Don't know how I missed Mr. Bungle. Saw 'em twice - once in the "masked" era, and once on the California tour with the Dillinger Escape Plan opening.

Sorry i did not address your question above about the TSO until now. Are you referring to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra? If so, yeah, that would count

Unfortunately, I am too young to have seen most of my favorite bands at their peak, or even at all. I have, however, seen Yes twice and Rush twice. I'm going to see Tull on their upcoming tour, and I hope that that'll be a good show. I would also love to see PT live.

Nope, though I saw a band that was (at the time) my favorite, Magma. Awesome, awesome show. Cardiacs don't play live because of Tim's illness, so I can't ever see my current favorite live.
