Now the question is: Which group or singer would you have loved to see in concert? The rule is that the group or singers are now no longer performing. My choices: Band - ELO. (Original line up) Singer / musician - Jimi Hendricks.
Genesis when Gabriel was the front man, or possibly circa 1977 after Trick of The Tail and Wind & Wuthering came out. The light shows around that era where knockout. Saw them after that a few times and they were good but had really sold out to commercialism at that stage. [I know they still perform, but rarely, only when they need some dosh] The Tubes. Circa 1976. What a band. Were pretty outrageous in their day but again became more commercial later. I remember reading in the paper when I was a teenager that they'd been banned across the UK (so cool) and in the end did a limited number of shows. "White Punks On Dope" is still a classic. Talking Heads. David Byrne is so 'out there'. Always liked their off-kilter sound. They did some great stuff. "Psycho Killer" reminds me of Dai. INXS (with the late great Michael Hutchence). Nuff said. Can't think of any more but I'm sure I will....
led zep deep purple yes sex pistols gerry & the pacemakers beatles black sabbath (original) hermans hermits to start with
Yes are still performing Musty, though not with the 'normal' line-up. Saw them a few times - 1978, 2001, 2003 all with the classic lineup. Probably the best live band ever.
INXS - Good shout!! Black Sabbath - Should have seen them at Odeon Hammersmith, but fell ill two days before. GUTTED.
James Brown would have been another ... Would have loved to have been there when he kept throwing capes off & returning to the stage , classic . Would have loved to see him & Tina Turner do a song & dance together ... Would have been AWESOME !
Led Zeppelin the gutter is i had a chance for knebworth tickets in 79, but was let down by a mate. always regretted that. Mind you saw sabbath in 97 at milton keynes bowl and fleetwood mac at wembley stadium in 91 so 2 out of 3 ambitions realised. offside i know Percy Plant is still performing, but does LZ go down as a rule break
lets keep em coming cos i luv zep [video=youtube;zB_DOA2AL7Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB_DOA2AL7Q[/video]
