Status Quo, Rush (multiple), Yes (multiple), Fleetwood Mac (multiple), Bryan Adams, Pink Floyd, ABWH, Thunder (multiple), Midge Ure from memory very quickly.
Regret never seeing Queen and missing out on Springsteen in '84 when a girlfriend went not knowing who he was as there was a spare ticket going and didn't tell me.

I turned down a ticket to see them thinking I'd go next time. It never happened. I don't have many regrets in life but that is one of them.

Yes, Neil Peart was the drummer-lyricist, and probably one of the smartest people in rock music, other than perhaps Dr Brian May. Rush simply couldn't exist without Neil Peart, although he wasn't an original member he pretty much took over control of the band from their second album onwards.

I saw Queen a year or two before Live Aid. They were good, but not great (and I was big fan at the time). I think their reputation has far outgrown their live performance as a result of the Live Aid / Rio events. And Freddie's death too. These days I find grey haired badger-badged Brian May a bit of geriatric, somehow.

Glad I did get to see Rush in Toronto (once); sad I missed Motorhead here (twice).
Finest gig I ever saw was the Bad Brains at the Camden Electric Ballroom. The smaller gigs >>>>>> stadia.

I saw the Bee Gees in Regina way back when, and now the records of that concert have been erased for some reason.... it seems odd, even if it was booked after the tour was announced.
