I’m lucky in that I’ve seen a majority of bands I want to see live (feasibly). There are a few exceptions, but they aren’t bands that I feel like I am incomplete without having witnessed.
I had behold the arctopus as a white whale since I found out about them around 2007 and they were visiting london while I was away from there. “Yankee bands come by all the time, I’ll see them next tour” I said. Next tour was in 2013, they were only touring the US. I JUST got out of my overdraft. “I can’t afford to at this time I said”. Next tour was 2018, and 4 dates in Northeast USA.
I saw them. In case you aren’t aware, BTA is an instrumental power trio playing heavily counterpoint based tech death.* The guitar player was sick. (he was unable to attend because he was ill, as well as being sick as in impressive)
I am considering it a win that I got to see Colin Marston at least.
I would have liked to have seen Estradasphere, but the band split up. I saw some of their members as part of Secret Chiefs 3, that’s good enough for me.
I found out about Zu by seeing them live, so that worked out pretty good.
* I mean, all tech death is based, but this is based on counterpoint
