Music If you could see any band, dead or alive, who would it be?
| I'd have to say for me, I think it would have to be Lynyrd Skynyrd with Ronnie Van Zant. I wish I was old enough in the 70's to see them live! | |
| There's alot: AC/DC with Bon Scott Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads Stevie Ray Vaughn Pantera (never got to see them, never will :( ) Lynyrd Skynyrd with Ronnie Van Zant Death This is just the list of those who I will never see. | |
| I would say Led Zepplin with John Bonham and also Styx again with my old friend the late John Panozzo. | |
| id have to say cream srv hendrix robert johnson | |
| The late and great Warren Zevon. Man, I hate that I discovered his music (thanks to my dad) merely years after he passed on. | |
| Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quartet, circa 1954. IMHO, if Brown had lived beyond 26 years old (no, it wasn't drugs), Miles Davis would just be an afterthought as a pretty good trumpet player. | |
| Ruester, I saw Johnny Winter this past April at the Wanee Festival in Live Oak, FL. Enjoyed his set. Bands, dead or alive, who I'd like to see are: Jimi Hendrix Experience/Band Of Gypys The Beatles The Smiths Sly & The Family Stone The Velvet Underground The Stooges The Clash Bob Marley & The Wailers Husker Du Cream Joy Division/New Order The Verve Animal Collective The Who Led Zeppelin Miles Davis (early 70's) Outkast | |
| The Beatles and Led Zepplin | |
| i would love to go see Daughtry or Nickelback | |
| Led Zepplin, no doubt. I was supposed to see them in 1980 in Chicago, but the show and tour was canceled when John Bonham passed away. What a waste. I still hold out hope. | |
| two come to my mind: Jimi Hendrix The Grateful Dead | |
| Wow, scrolling down through everyone's wish lists here inspired me to dig out my old ticket stubs. I'm ashamed to have taken for granted a few shows I've seen that would've meant the world to some of you. From the top.... LYNYRD SKYNYRD: I was there at Atlanta's Fox Theatre on one of the three nights in July of '76 when they recorded their live album "One More From The Road". That's the only time I've seen them with Ronnie Van Zant. Some people feel the current version of the group (with only one surviving original member) is just a glorified Skynyrd tribute band. STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN: I saw him one time (1/29/86) at Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham AL. The Fabulous Thunderbirds were the opening act. My ticket cost $10.50. The stage lighting was very dim and Stevie kept his head down most of the time, his face concealed by that famous hat. Not one of his more fiery performances. This was back when he was abusing alcohol and cocaine, so that may have had something to do with it. JAMES BROWN: I saw a distant red-clad blob that was supposedly the Godfather Of Soul at the Music Midtown Festival in Atlanta, May 1997. He was at least 100 yards away, with a sea of people between me and him. His band came out first and vamped for about 30 minutes before James even took the stage. LED ZEPPELIN: Never got to see 'em, but I have seen Robert Plant solo thrice, Jimmy Page with The Firm once, and the Page/Plant tour at Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta on 5/29/98, when they played a lot of Zep material. WARREN ZEVON: Saw him do a solo show at a nightclub in Savannah GA, circa 1993. Just Warren accompanying himself on piano and guitar. He encouraged us all to howl along with him during "Werewolves Of London". Can't believe he's gone now. THE WHO: I saw them at the Omni in Atlanta during their first tour with Kenny Jones on drums, 7/9/80. My ticket cost $12.50. When Roger Daltrey introduced Kenny to the crowd, many booed because he wasn't Keith Moon (as if Kenny were responsible for Keith's death!) Caught them again at Lakewood Amphitheatre on 8/13/97, when they were performing the "Quadrophenia" album in its entirety with a large backing band. I paid $45.50 that time. PINK FLOYD: I'm fortunate to have seen them three times, including once at Atlanta's Omni on 4/26/77 when Roger Waters was still a member. My ticket cost 10 bucks. They played the "Animals" album in its entirety, took an intermission, then played all of the "Wish You Were Here" album and encored with two songs from "Dark Side Of The Moon". Aside from vocals during songs, no member of the band ever said a single word to the audience. ALICE COOPER: He's still going strong in his 60's. I caught him at the Florida Theatre in Jacksonville on 11/6/01. He played all of his hits and included some of his trademark theatrics, like beheading a mannequin dressed as Britney Spears! (If you're ever in downtown Phoenix, be sure to visit his Alice Cooperstown restaurant... lots of cool memorabilia on the walls) GRATEFUL DEAD: I saw them twice at the Fox in Atlanta (11/30/80 and 10/29/85). We were shocked at how much weight Jerry Garcia had put on between the first and second concerts. Must've been the beginning of the health decline that eventually killed him. I've managed to knock two more acts off my bucket list in the past 3 years: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and PHISH, both at the coliseum in Charleston SC. There aren't many more still-living bands I'm itching to see, although I wouldn't mind catching AC/DC, GREEN DAY, MY MORNING JACKET, TOM PETTY or SADE sometime. And as for a dead band I'm sorry I missed, it'd have to be THE DOORS... either in their early L.A. club days, or that infamous Miami concert in 1969 when Jim Morrison alledgedly flashed the crowd (it was a sloppy show by all accounts, but a real landmark in rock & roll history). | |
| I would love to see the band Triumph come back for a tour. They did reunite in 2010 for one or two shows, but that was it. | |
| Styx are one of the best. They are actually all personal friends of mine going back to growing up in Chicago. | |
| The Allman Brothers Band (when Duane Allman and Berry Oakley were alive) Gary Clark Jr. RUN DMC Bo Diddley Howlin' Wolf Wu-Tang Clan (when O.D.B. was still alive) Brand New Heavies Bongwater Pink Floyd (with Syd Barrett and Roger Waters) (I saw Pink Floyd in 1988 at the Florida Citrus Bowl/Orlando Stadium in a downpour when it was touring in support of 'A Momentary Lapse Of Reason' album) Fleetwood Mac (Fleetwood, McVie {x2}, Buckingham, Nicks) The Beastie Boys Red Hot Chili Peppers Pulp The Pixies The Cure The New York Dolls (when Johnny Thunders, Arthur Kane and Jerry Nolan were alive) Guns 'N Roses (original line-up) John Coltrane Sun Ra Earth Wind & Fire (70's version) The Isley Brothers (70's version) Otis Redding Janis Joplin/Big Brother & The Holding Company | |
| I've seen Skynyrd with Ronnie. And I saw them once after the accident. Both were excellent shows. After Ronnie died, they did "FreeBird" as an instrumental, with a spotlight shining on a lone mike stand. I was breathtakingly eerie. You could almost see and hear Ronnie singing. It's hard to describe. It truly was a "you had to be there" experience. I also saw Pantera, before Dime got killed. I saw them 4 times. Now, for other bands/singers no longer around, that I'd like to see: The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Roy Orbison. Eclectic mix... |
