Hendrix, and Janis Joplin for sure. I really like Merle Haggard too. Chet Atkins and Marty Robbins. I'd like to see again but can't Prince.. He put on a killer show. I liked Salina too. What a bad thing to happen to such a shining star.. Patsy Cline and Billie Holiday. I'd give my eye teeth the see Pavarotti again... Regards |
I've actually seen a good deal of the artists mentioned in this thread. I saw almost all of the rock acts that are mentioned, with the notable exception of Prince. I saw Ellington -- a model of grace and charm. I did, though, miss Coltrane, Bird and Pavarotti. My older sister saw the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl. She yelled herself hoarse. |
John Coltrane Miles Davis Jimi Hendrix Joni Mitchell The Band The Grateful Dead The Doors Creedence Clearwater Revival Traffic Cream The Velvet Underground Bob Marley and the Wailers The Who (with Keith Moon) - saw them twice in the early 80’s but it wasn’t the same Roxy Music Howlin’ Wolf Nina Simone Sly and the Family Stone |

My first concert as a youth was Jethro Tull. First time I ever smelled the evil weed, too. Saw Bette Midler and Keith Jarrett, also. I spent the 90s in Milan. Saw Elton, Eric, Phil, Tina. Had a friend that got a lot of Vegas comps. Saw Annie Lennox and a few I can’t remember. At 73 the only groups I missed and wanted to see were the Stones and Led. |

Beatles - without the screaming girls that made it impossible to hear them Artie Shaw Hendrix saw most of the rock bands listed here, even remember a few of those shows. 50 + times, for Grateful Dead, SRV. I am grateful to have heard all the great bluesmen of the last generation. No one could rock the house like John Lee Hooker. |
@schubert: Woody Shaw --- far better than old-fashioned Artie ! Jimi with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell (because I actually prefer his post-psychedelic phase) Allmans with Duane Faces, when R. Wood was in his prime Janis Mahavishnu Orchestra Coltrane with Classic Quartet Miles with 2nd Great Quartet D. Gordon Santana with Lotus band Wayne Shorter during his Blue Note phase Albert King (saw BB and Freddie) Pat Martino Lifetime B. Marley (missed him when I lived in S. Barbara but there was just so much good music, there and then!) J. Beck with Rough and Ready line-up McCoy Tyner in his prime M. Bloomfield with Butterfield Milton Nacimiento And, if the OP will indulge me, I'd like to step off the nostalgia train jut long enough to remind myself and everyone else that there are still excellent musicians performing. In this regard, I'd love to see Black Pumas ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOKfK8y4_MQ I now return you to regular scheduled program... @lloydc: "No one could rock the house like John Lee Hooker" Maybe... but SRV, after he'd gotten clean, wasn't too shabby ! ! ! |
