    No women on the list?

    Shout out to Aretha Franklyn, absolute legend. Hell, pretty much anyone from the Blues Brothers movie. Ok, I am perhaps, not cool. I'm ok with that though.

    Otis Redding - legend.

    Also think Bowie is missing from the list.

    Elvis, drug and colonel free.

    Failing that - Lennon and Harrison to see the Beatles back together.

    LOL

    Savile is single L for future reference. Kind of detracts from the joke!

    Would have to be Mr Mercury for me - make up for not seeing him on the Kind of Magic tour gig at St James I missed due to having knee surgery that day....

    Aye, the stage was at the Starting Post and we were down by Beechers.
    Not really my cup of tea, but the missus was happy enough.

    Not a gig I would want to relive, unlike seeing the Classic line-up of Joey/Dee Dee/Johnny/Tommy one more time.
    Also, Ian Curtis and Malcolm Owen.
    All Gone too soon.

    John Martyn is a great call. However you just couldn't guarantee what sort of state he'd turn up in so it could end up a waste of time. Same for Kurt Cobain although I'd be sorely tempted. Bon Scott much the same. Duane Allman is another I'd like to have seen live.

    I think I'd have to go with Otis Redding though. Every bloke would love to have a panty dropping voice like that.
