Looks like 8, because I walked out on the Rolling Stones! I never bothered with the top ten bands, kind of thing, as by that time, my head was too much into European stuff, and most of that top ten stuff is just not even in my collection.
 
If there were regrets, I missed Jethro Tull a couple of times, and Genesis, I gave up on, because I wanted to see them with PG and it did not happen. Other than that ... none of the bands really turns me on.
 
Here's a list of mine ... and I have to clean it up some more ... the ones together was a show with both bands.
 
Random Hold/Peter Gabriel
Stevie Ray Vaughn/Robert Cray
Status Quo/Mason Profit/REO Speedwagon/Brownsville Station/The Crow/Amboy Dukes/Ides of March/Ravi Shankar
Pink Floyd (x4)

Tangerine Dream (x4)

YES (x2 if we use the current goings)

Scrolled through some of these at lunch today.  Interesting to pair up folks I hear in the forum with the bands they've seen live.  Very cool.
 
For me....the ones I can remember at least.  I'm leaving off opening acts if I really didn't care about them. 
m = saw multiple times. 
Most between 1977 and 2003....just a handful since. 
Big misses (for me):  Joe Satriani (could have seen this year but don't prefer the current band), Al Dimeola (had ticket, show was cancelled).  Would have loved to have seen any 70's tour for.....Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynrd (sp??), Alice Cooper, Elton John.
Hoping to see:  Steve Steven solo (currently in Europe...hoping for US), Devin Townsend, Neal Morse Band, Steven Wilson.
