What band have you followed the longest without having seen them live?
- Thread starter That 70s Guy
- Start date
Hmmm...well most of us never saw the Beatles since they stopped touring and broke up...been following them since I was a kid.
Never saw Floyd , Steely Dan, Genesis(with Gabriel)...saw Gabriel twice solo.
There are too many prog bands to name that I never saw though some only had 2 or 3 lps over the years.

I’m going with Ted Nugent or Johnny Cash.
I’ve loved The Beatles the longest but I have seen McCartney three times and Ringo twice.
Pink Floyd; I saw twice (without Waters) Gilmour once and Waters once
Maybe Led Zeppelin but I’ve seen Jimmy Page twice.
But as an early teenager, a friend of mine had Double Live Gonzo, Scream Dream, and Weekend Warrior that we listened to often when his mom was at work. Double Live Gonzo especially was just such an ear opening experience every time we listened.
I hesitate to mention Johnny Cash because maybe I’m more of a casual fan. My dad played Johnny Cash albums and 8-tracks often so I have an admiration for his music and there are about thirty of his songs I will sing along to. However I have never bought any of his studio albums. I have a few of my dad’s records and a few compilation albums but for me the definition of a true fan is someone who has bought and enjoyed and also cherishes studio albums

Well, The Beatles, who quit touring when I was eight, but I've seen Paul three times. But I've never seen Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd or The Who or the Stones. Actually, I was working at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto on the day when the Stones were to play Exhibition Stadium. I was off work and was just walking off the property to get the streetcar home, when the group failed to appear, and there was a riot inside the stadium. I didn't hear about it until later on the news.
