If you could see any artist perform (dead or alive)

the beatles, the doors, the who, bob dylan, jefferson airplane, jimi hendrix, ten years after, led zeppelin, cranberries, alanis morissette (early times), neil young, pearl jam, blind melon. and a lot more. probably every band I listen to.

i wish it could be very easy to go to their concert. oh well.

Love,
Louise.

 

Led Zeppelin, and I think any tour would do. ANY!

 

the grateful dead ca. 1966, at one of kesey's parties. and maybe with the airplane or quicksilver...

the Mamas and the Papas with the late Cass Elliot and John Phillips performing at the Monterey Pop Festival

 

I can't pick only one, so here's a top 5:

Hendrix & The Band of Gypsies
Allman Brothers Band (circa 1966)
Frank Zappa & The Mothers (1970)

The Beatles

I don't care about what time period or where they perform just to see the four of them on stage together would be pure magic for me.

 

ones that are past:
The Doors , any one from Morrison's really whacko phase
The Beatles or John Lennon, Elvis, Nirvana

Metalica before they sold out, Bon Jovi

i'm seeing Petra in concert in NOV in NJ and hopefully Switchfoot too
i've been on a quest to see Petra for some reason

 

The Grateful Dead (with Jerry..), Joni Mitchell, and Paul Simon.

Oh, and Cat Stevens. He's not dead, but let's just say he won't be going on a concert tour any time soon.

CSN would awesome, too.

......really too many to list.........

 

Pink Floyd: at the 14 hour Technicolour dream

The Beatles: At the Ed Sullivan show

Jimi Hendirx: at Woodstock

Elvis: at the Ed Sulivan show

 

definately Randy Rhodes, hands down.

 

I would have rather been to The Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 than to Woodstock. The lineup at the Wight Festival was just as good, only without the insanity and the sound problems of Woodstock. Artists who performed at The Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 include: The Who (They gave an incredible performance which I have on DVD), The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, The Moody Blues, Procol Harum, Joni Mitchell, Sly & The Family Stone, plus many others. It just sounds better than Woodstock if you ask me.

 

Woodstock had Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Sly & The Family Stone too, plus Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Band, Country Joe & The Fish, Jefferson Airplane, ... (But not The Doors). But I have to admit that the line up at Woodstock 'The greatest festival of all time' is not so impressing.
