There are bands I wish I got to see live, but not many who I wish were still creating music - because bands generally break up when the members change and grow apart and they can no longer make the music they came together to make.
Just like a once great TV show that jumps the shark, we should applaud when a band decides that their creative race is run and they call it quits.
On that, I wish I'd seen (or even knew about) The Dillinger Escape Plan in their day. I wish I'd seen RATM live.
Edit: I just remembered another one. I saw this little domestic band, Horace Bones, play one of the smaller rooms at a festival once. Their set was absolutely amazing, and while their one album is good, it's not like the live experience they put on that day. They played one or two more shows after that festival then disappeared, just ghosted their socials etc. I still have their tshirt from that gig.
