Which DEAD band?artiste would you like to see live if you could !

[Phat Baz 68]

Mine is the Beatles, ok only two dead but still count.

 

[Icy Gull]

The Doors at their peak would be mine by some distance.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Johnny Cash or Elvis. Or both on tour in 56..

 

[GT49er]

Same as on the other thread, but if we're just concentrating on the dead, I'd go for Buddy Holly and the The Crickets, and Lyrnyrd Skyrnrd.


......oh, and Eddie Cochrane.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Nirvana feat. Kurt Cobain.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Mozart.

......oh, and Eddie Cochrane.

I have been to the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake where he made his final performance on the midwinter tour before dying in the plane crash. It is EXACTLY as it was when he last played their. Quite surreal.

Also been to the Norman Petty recording studios where he cut most of his records. That too is exactly the same as it was when he was alive and they even play the songs back through the original equipment used, also quite spooky.

 

[Hampster Gull]

The grunge guy, Kurt, for sure

 

[atfc village]

Buddy Holly or Eddie Cochrane.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Mozart.

Yes yes yes !!!

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Actually I would love to see Earth Wind and Fires original set up.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Some fantastic choices on here especialy Mozart

Always been a huge Small Faces fan, saw them once but I didn't realize their songs would stay with me this long.

Sadly my post on the other thread is starting to become more dead than alive. Hendrix Experience all 3 gone, Pink Floyd 3 of 5 gone, Cream 1 of 3 gone, Soft Machine several zillion members but quite a few gone!

[AmexRuislip]

Another chance to see Luther Vandross again, great voice

 

[Soulman]

Actually I would love to see Earth Wind and Fires original set up.

Me to. I saw them about 12 years ago, but only 4 originals.
Dead ones.........Sam Cooke, Donny Hathaway, Luther, Nat.........

 

[Gwylan]

Pink Floyd 3 of 5 gone

Have I missed something? I can only think of two who have gone to the great gig in the sky

For me, it would be the Velvet Underground, John Coltrane, Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday
