cookieman15061 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Bluzhammer's post on getting to see BB King got me to thinking, which great artist of my generation still alive do I need to see perform? 1. Eric Clapton I missed him when he came through my town last year. Hopefully I'll get another chance. 2. Pink Floyd I never got to see them in their prime back in the mid 70s. I do have seat for Water's The Wall tour next year. 3. Steely Dan Although known more for their studio work, songs off all those impeccable 70s albums would be a great night of music. 4. Van Halen Ok since getting all 4 original members on stage prolly won't ever happen, I'd go even with Wolfgang on bass. 5. Bob Dylan The most revered songwriter of my generation and if lyrics are your thing there's none better. Plus he's a Wilbury! Well that's 5 off the top of my head. What's yours?
57classic Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Good topic cookie, I don't have an official list but I'm seeing Glen Campbell in February. This is his farewell tour as he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I think he's around 74 and not quite what he once was but truly a giant and I'm thrilled to be able to see him. A friend of mine and I do try to see all the greats we haven't seen when they come through the area. I've been fortunate to see a lot of musicians over the years, having worked stage crew for about 5 years in the 70's and 80's and being an avid concert goer since. I never saw Dylan, unfortunately. Just don't think I would enjoy one of his shows now.
Deacon Blue Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Hey guys, I did get to see Steely Dan (one of my all time favs) this year. It was awesome. It would of been nice to have Jeff Baxter with them but what ya gonna do. I would still like to see Prince one day. He's just a great stage performer. Clapton would be right up there. Since the Beatles will never be able to re-unite I guess my dream will never really be fullfilled, mind you seeing 2 of them has been accomplished. Deep Purple with Richie Blackmore would also be right up there. Oh well. Have a great New Years guys!
buliwyf Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I havent seen to many concerts lately but I did see Paul McCartney a few months ago.Another concert well worth seeing,you can hear the Beatles in almost every song(especially the classics)he does.I believe he's in his mid if not late sixties but he can still rock.We sat in the 5th row and I felt beat up after the concert from the constant thumping from the PA system,well worth seeing.
awel Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Never seen Van Halen but I will as well as Aerosmith, I hope to see Clapton, Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepperd, Jonny Lang. What I have seen and would like to see again are ZZ top, Philip Sayce, ac dc, Joe Satriani Thing I regret not having seen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gary Moore, Queen.
MrNylon Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Number one on my list is, Sir Paul McCartney Eric Clapton Jimmy Page
cookieman15061 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 Jimi Hendrix Led Zeppelin Black Sabbath Ok T guess you missed the point. If they dead you ain't no way gonna see em.
alexri Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Even though I'm 19, I've seen many of my heroes in concert. I've seen Van Morrison (twice), Willie Nelson, Snynyrd, BB King, The Who, ACDC, Donovan, Van Halen. I'd really like to see Bob Dylan, among others.
LarryUK Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Justin Beiber.......oh sorry. I thought it was 'who would I like to put in a bucket' list.
Tman5293 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Ok T guess you missed the point. If they dead you ain't no way gonna see em. Then I'm gonna need a time machine!
surfpup Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Jimi Hendrix Led Zeppelin Black Sabbath ...If they dead you ain't no way gonna see em I like it! It's like a reverse bucket list... people you wish you'd seen before they were dead!
feldkeen4 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I'd like to see the Byrds again, even though I've already crossed them off my bucket list. In 79 or so Mcguinn Clark & Hillman made an album, and toured as the Byrds that summer. It was awsome, John Prine was on the bill as well.
djroge1 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I've seen a lot of my favorites over the years and I'm not into going to many live shows like I did then. having said that I would like to see. 1. Joe Bonamassa 2. Chickenfoot
Dennis G Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I've seen a lot of my favorites over the years and I'm not into going to many live shows like I did then. having said that I would like to see. 1. Joe Bonamassa JB puts on one hell of a live show. Most definitely worth the $, time and trouble, if any. Right there with ya on the not into concert things much anymore, and I've seen most or all of my "must sees" (at least to date), some of them several times (Isaak, Eagles, Buffett, etc.) but I could still be drawn out for something special, i.e. Dylan, Stones, etc.
retrosurfer1959 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Good list Cookieman Ive seen them all they were all good. If you ever get the opportunity add Van Morrison and Warren haynes to your list they both put on amazing performances also. i can't honestly think of any show I haven't seen that would go on a bucket list unless, I can ignore the laws of nature and see dead performances then there'd be a easy dozen or so.
djroge1 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I forgot to add Alice Cooper I've never had the chance to see Alice.
milod Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I sufficiently dislike crowds that I don't go to shows unless I'm paid to. Rodeo is the exception, but I usually watch from the crows nest or "behind the chutes" anyway instead of in the stands. Glen Campbell put on a pretty good show a cupla years ago in Deadwood. Wasn't all that interested in any interviews, though. OTOH, he probably doesn't need 'em. Yet Jack Benny and Harry James of another era were nice guys to talk to. Saw the Duke and the Count when I was in college. Ditto Gary Davis and Sunnyland Slim and Big Joe Williams and Ian and Sylvia - a batch of folkies in the early '60s. Johnny Cash, Mother Maybelle who was a truly lovely lady. A batch of old rockers, half of which I've mostly forgotten. Still... maybe I just got older and grouchier. OTOH, I'd love to see Die Valkyrie or Tristan und Isolde by a good opera company... m
milod Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Daryl... Ahhh.... Taylor's just a kid. Good Grief. <grin> Seriously my favorite Taylor piece is Sweet Baby James. But... whatta you expect for a kid who normally wore boots whose folks moved to Boston for grad school and he went in a boarding school in the Berkshires... dreaming of real skies and elbow room... "Now the first of December was covered with snow... And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston... Though the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting... With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go..." First time I heard it, it brought pretty vivid memories of the Berkshires from Stockbridge to Pittsfield, Lenox to Lee... then the downhill run to Boston in winter then the dirty slush of Harvard Square around the folkie coffee houses... Heck, I still feel claustrophobic just thinkin' about it. But the framed photos of my memories of the scenery and mental recordings of music remain fine too... m
Guest rogerb Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Larry Carlton and Eric Clapton would be my two bucketlist artist to see.
EVOL! Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 1. John Cale, but I would want it to be solo. Just him and the piano. 2. Neil Young, but not have the tickets cost $75+ a piece for noise bleed seats. He played the Chicago Theatre earlier this year for his Le Noise (amazing album!) tour and I just couldn't justify paying the ticket price. 3. Iggy and the Stooges - missed them when the late, great Ron Asheton was rocking the guitar. Still would be an experience to see Iggy Pop destroy a stage. Almost everyone else I missed seeing is either dead or the band called it quits.

"in my mind I'm gone to Carolina......."
