How fun would that have been, the Beasties opening for Run DMC?

The one show I most regret not seeing was the Black and Blue tour back in 1980 with co-headliners Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult. But I decided no after hearing Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio as lead singer, after replacing Ozzie. They just weren't the same. Would have loved seeing them both together, with their original lineups.
Otherwise, aside from Ozzfest, maybe the best combo of acts I ever saw in concert together was a toss-up between a couple tri-bills. The Amboy Dukes (with Ted Nugent AND Meatloaf), Billy Preston, and Deep Purple headlining, or Foghat, Humble Pie (with Steve Marriott AND Peter Frampton), and The J. Giels Band headlining (before they went full-out commercial with their music). Having been able to see lineups like those, or the one you missed out on, in a club type venue would have been beyond believable.
