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

[fire&skill]

The Beatles at The Cavern lunchtime gigs. Just before it went crazy.

 

[GT49er]

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.

..... and I've only been to Chippenham!

Just thought of another one I missed. Robert Johnson.

 

[Frutos]

Queen.

I know only one of them has passed on, but I feel its still valid given who the one in question is.

 

[Wilko]

Nirvana feat. Kurt Cobain.

Correct.

 

[drew]

Bon Scott in AC/DC

 

[Trevor]

Ramones

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Bon Scott in AC/DC

Which takes me back to the first ever gig thread, which for me was AC/DC in 1977, with Bon Scott on vocals.

 

[pasty]

Bob Marley

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

What a stupid thread ....

 

[Tarpon]

What a stupid thread ....

Yeah. It's like talking about great footballers you'll never get to see in the flesh because they're past it or dead...


...oh hang on

 

[The Modfather]

The Small Faces closely followed by Bob Marley

 

[Igzilla]

Joy Division

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Sandy Denny.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Jimi Hendrix for me.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Another vote for The Small Faces, Steve Marriotts voice was superb.

 

[Tarpon]

I've decided to have a festival of the dead. Running order tbc but to include:

Robert Johnson
Mahalia Jackson
Elvis Presley
Ella Fitzgerald
Velvet Underground (with Nico)
Fela Kuti
Ray Charles

Johnny Cash
Captain Beefheart
Joy Division
Wooly Guthrie

Billie Holiday
John Martyn
Sam Cooke

Louis Jordan
Dusty Springfield
The Clash


There's more to come so events may overrun somewhat...

 

[Tarpon]

Oh and...

Al Green

and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

On reflection, the chap who said this was stupid may be onto something.

 

[Tarpon]

...Gil Scott-Heron just confirmed too.

 

[Seagull58]

Hendrix

 

[Seagull58]

I've seen The Who post-Moon. Would have loved to see them with The Loon on drums.
