Your Turn
You can see any band or singer you want whether dead or alive. You can only see one though. Who is it going to be?

Bruce Springsteen
I'm a Bruce Tramp!!!!
I assume we can go back in time? I'd choose Maria Callas performing Madame Butterfly at her peak. I would love to hear her live.
Michael Jackson
i'm not going to limit myself to just one, that's silly......
Elvis, MJ, Frank Sinatra.
My answer would probably change at any given moment on any given day, but right now I would choose to see Robert Johnson, the blues singer and alleged Faustian deal maker.
Glenn Miller
The Beatles. Second choice, Nirvana.
Beatles in the early days. Strip bar in Hamburg.
Layne Staley.
Alice in Chains
i think a Johnny Cash show would be pretty good. Or Buddy Holly. or Whats his name...... Roy Orbison.
Shit I could sing and sway along to, and that I know all the words.
I'd see Frank Sinatra too.
I think I've seen everyone else that I'd want to. Alive or died in the passed 15 years.
I could make a list of the singers that I would like to see dead, but it seems untoward to start my week like that.
Either Shannon Hoon or Michael Hutchence
Beatles at the Cavern Club - 1961.
Or; Kate Bush, in my living room.
Bessie Smith - Empress of the Blues. People don't seem to know much about her today - she was a big influence on, among others, Janis Joplin
If more than one, Billie Holiday and the Beatles.
oooh - forgot about Robert Johnson - I'd love to see him too.
What's wrong with you people? You are just supposed to pick one!
:P
Can I take a double headlining tour of Eva Cassidy and Freedy Johnston? They didn't get to work together before she passed. But if I ever was lucky enough to see a Vegas show I'd have to take Garth all the way.
John Lee Hooker. I listen to his early stuff all the time. Frank Sinatra w/b good too, but the gun-to-my-head-you-can-only-pick-one w/b John Lee, definitely.
Boss Hog. I miss 'em.
Queen
No question on a solo, Freddie Mercury.
Janis Joplin and the Big Brother Holding Company at the Fillmore.
Carolyn, I hear you. But since I've been making decisions for myself in life I do not see the point in limiting my options :)
Hopefully Enty will not ban me for this..... :)
Dead? Patsy Cline. Or MAYBE Elvis Presley or Johnny Cash. Or all of the Beatles. Damn! Hard to narrow it down.
Living? I have five on my bucket list: Springsteen, Sir Paul, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and George Strait. Anyone else whom I love, I've been blessed enough to have seen already.
So, yeah. Can't narrow any of it down to just one.
I miss Layne Staley SO MUCH!
No voice like his. ♥ ♥ ♥
Ian Tyson, before he damaged his vocal cords and his voice changed from mellow sexy to raspy old man.
Elvis, of course.
Queen.
Levon Helm.
Damn, they're all dead but Ian, and he's almost 80.
Hard question...It's impossible to pick only one. lol
Nirvana
Hendrix
Protest the Hero (all ready have seen them, but I'd still pick them. LOVE THEM!!!)
John Denver - still smarting from the loss
John Denver - still smarting from the loss
Honestly, I saw him already, twice...
Prince.
Michael Hutchence.
Bob Dylan, early 70s. You can't count on the Bob of today.
Journey - ONLY WITH STEVE PERRY!
Agree, farmgirl. I just love him, and always think about his tragic death as I listen to him singing about how beautiful life is.
Karen Carpenter. So sad when I found out she had passed away...
Aunt Jess: I want to go to your concert with Eva (because Carolyn is making us choose one ;P) and you can come to my Ella Fitzgerald concert. Then we can head out to SusanB's Bessie Smith performance and finish off with singing to Patsy Cline over at AKM's.
Concha, the Sex Pistols at the 100 club in 76
"You can only choose one though."
Helllloooo people! LOL
I'll go with George Michael in his hay day.
Joy Division
I saw the faith tour in 88 and I must tell you....I was in general admission. Right at the.front of the.stage. Super cute 16 year old I was...george sang father figure ickily close to my face.
The Doors with Jim wearing tight leather pants.......but keeping everything in. 1. Break on through. 2. Light My Fire. Then the audience can shout out their requests.
The Beatles
Michael Jackson
Everybody else I'd like to see, I've seen. Except Radiohead but I'm sure that'll happen some day.
Queen as they were in 1980 or so.
Led Zepplin in all their original glory!!
@Sherry I'm down! After that we gotta make a quick stop for Syko to get in on the Levon Helm action. (I am boycotting Robbie Robertson tho)
Ziggy Stardust and his godamn spiders from mars
Jim Morrison & The Doors
Oh, @Norte, I wanna go too. Will cry through "Five Years".
CHIC.....that's the answer right there.
Brother Nile & brother Nard inventing the pocket.
Edith Piaf, small venue in Paris.
Lets go....zap me with your ranging.
Lol....autocorrect.....RAYGUN
@Norte
"Ickily"? Oh man, that makes my heart hurt girl! I'd have died and gone to heaven, LOL.
Did I mention it was icky?
The Minutemen. I've already seen pretty much everyone I ever wanted to (including Boss Hog!)
But if I could pick two, I'd say Elvis.
....at one point his beard was on my cheek.....cheek to cheek singing....lol...and then there was the thrusting
New Order in the late 1980's? That or Talking Heads in 1979 the last time they toured as a 4 piece band. I saw the Cure in 1989 on the Disintegration Tour. But the 1984 tour that produced The Cure at Orange video would have been a great one to see. Rolling Stones 1969 tour of the US. You want to catch a band at their absolute peak. After that it becomes a nostalgia act.
No matter how goodlooking I was (and I was shockingly handsome)
the choreography of Monkey should not have been performed an inch from my nose
So you didn't enjoy the concert? ;) I love the song "Faith."
No....I had no idea and George was phenomenal.
As a 40 year old man today George was icky and taking real liberties with my face. Lol
@ Sherry, what a creative solution! I'm impressed!
Beethovan.
Beastie Boys. I'm so bummed that I'm never going to see them perform live now. I had tickets to their 2000 tour with Rage Against the Machine that got cancelled when Mike D broke his arm. :-(
The smiths
Jim Morrison and The Doors
Roy Orbison, he still occupies a lot of my playlist.
I think the rule should be one from the deceased list and one still alive.
Soooo, my second choice is Joe Cocker.
@Andrew...cool choice. :) I just sang a choral work of his that was supposedly his last public performance.
Judy Garland - now that is not my kind of music, I'm a metalhead, BUT she had such an incredible voice that I think very few have been able to match.
I was blessed to see the boys twice....once where Rollins Band opened...and the other time at an infamous and brilliant Opera House show in Toronto.
rip brother touch
Jimi Hendrix or Beatles. Why squander my choice on someone from today?
Brother yauch
Saw them in 86.
I'm not trying to be all one upmanship guy ....so forgive me of it seems that way. I'm just bored and I've been to a lot of shows.
Led Zeppelin!
Also Morrissey solo.
Cat Stevens, Earth Tour in 1971 I think. I'd sell my soul.
Queen.. Without a doubt... Freddie Mercury was truly magnificent, and I would have loved to see him live in all his over the top glory.. :-)
Ramones, never did get to catch them when I had the chance. Totally regret it now.
Hendrix, the Beatles, Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly. Certainly wouldn't pick someone I can go see live just by buying a ticket.
and on that note, I'd like to see Mozart play.
I would have such a hard time choosing between Nirvana and Sublime. This is way harder than I thought.............. I'm going with Sublime.
I've already seen my biggie faves multiple times: Springsteen and the E Street Band, U2 and Bon Jovi. I think I would go with the Rat Pack. But I would love to see George Michael, too. And Pearl Jam. And Jason Mraz. This is a tough question. I feel so disloyal no matter who I say. I love too much music to answer this properly.
so hard to pick one...but I will go with Freddie Mercury. That, was real showmanship.
@Aunt Jess - I am boycotting Robbie too, which is why I said Levon instead of The Band. I wouldn't mind Rick and Richard, though. :)
Another vote for Layne Staley/Alice in Chains.... Saw AIC with William DuVall, and while it was really good, I would LOVE to see Layne.
Queen. I've seen pretty much everyone I've wanted to see during my lifetime, but Freddie was a showman like no other
@Carolyn..Join us and we'll make it s girls night out. I would also like to see me some Ramones while we're making a party of it!
And yes Blondie..we know, we can choose only one so this was my best solution to be greedy and see as many as possible. You know you want to too! ;)
Led Zeppelin, back in the day... or Aerosmith... or Pink Floyd.
I'd want to hear Son House. I'm an old blues fan. I've heard only recordings, most of which are not very good.
Bruce Springsteen, Asbury Park, back in the day, with Clarence. A seat at the bar with a good view, and maybe a photo op afterwards....
Dead, Queen
Alive, Elton
I have a flare for the dramatic :-P
Janis Joplin!
Good choice.
Etta James
Michael Hutchence
Led Zep or Sublime.
@Norte & EmEyeKay: I was just looking at the cover of Ziggy Stardust and realized the sign over Bowie's head says "K. West." :-(
It's impossible to pick just one. Probably the 1969 Rolling Stones, as well. But then again...
Me, too! I thought I'd be the only one who said John Denver. Anyway, he's been gone 15 years this October. So sad.
The 1965 version of The Byrds with Gene Clark.
The Velvet Underground, 1968.
Besides the Beatles, or Jimi or Janis in concert, think I've seen prob seen e'eryone I've needed to see live (Abba to Floyd to Zeppelin). I would rather have a one-on-one with Mr. John Lennon with 2 acoustic guitars available...
@Norte
Jeeze, you had me at thrusting!
Queen with Freddie.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, though I also really like someone else's choice of Edith Piaf, in Paris.
I saw a couple of my favorites. Dylan twice, Leonard Cohen. I still have to see U2 and Bruce, Blondie and Tom Waits. Warren Zevon died so I want get that chance. Sads.
Led Zeppelin circa the song remains the same.
Led Zeppelin circa the song remains the same.
I would see Pavarotti sing with Joan Sutherland.
Nirvana and the smashing pumpkins....
Okay. I listen to Mahler so so so often now...
I choose Harry Nilsson. Always Harry... the same as I choose life no matter what.
Jimi Hendrix or Jim Morrison & The Doors
I sat in the 2nd row at The Forum for Freddie Mercury and Queen. It was one of the best shows ever!
Springsteen in the 70s. I'll be seeing him this summer in Boston (5th time).
If I could have a time machine, I'd just go back for concerts, that's all.
The Beatles. If I were going with only living, I'd want to see Yo Yo Ma again. He's a magician.
I got to see Queen with Freddie, so that just leaves the Beatles in Hamburg, specifically Mr. Lennon.
Too many to list. But some of the obvious ones:
Elvis, The Beatles, The Doors, Janice Joplin, Buddy Holly, Zeppelin, Yardbirds, Hendrix, etc.
But choosing just ONE?.... The Beatles
Queen of course... Circa 1976. Also would want to meet Brian May before he met his then wife!! Mwahahahaha
I'm pretty lucky; saw pretty much everone I wanted to see in the 60's and 70's. Beatles, rolling stones, joplin, ike and tina, chambers brothers , van morrison many times, richie havens, hall and oates, eagles, etall. I guess insld love to hv seen Queen, whom I only started to appreciate the past coupla years. Ahh, Freddie, we miss ya and love ya.
Without question... LAYNE STALEY. So happy to see a few other readers agree with me. That voice was a gift from god! Ya, Alice is still together and still tours, however, the new Alice doesnt hold a candle to the AiC of the early 90s. RIP Layne.
Nina Simone
I'm tossed between Oingo Boingo and the Ramones. My thirteen year old son loves them too, he runs around singing 'Beat on the Brat' and 'Dead Man's Party'.
Jimi without a doubt. BTW....why the boycott on Robbie Robertson? I musta missed something.
Bob Marley and the I Threes. Easy Skanking is my Good Mood song
I saw Queen 3 times, Amazing. I am torn between the Ramones and Elvis Costello. Never saw the Ramones live, I've seen Elvis 3x and I Adore him ;)
I guess I'd pick Ramones since I could still see Spike again.
Forgot Leon Russell ringo starr, joe Cocker, and many others. There used to be super bills, with like 5 great groups on one bill- like the philmore east. Check out an old show listing. So u sld see aloota groups that hadnt hit big yet. Jimi- meh, idk, better on tape.
My hubby and friend saw police when they first came along. They sang like 10 songs, the sang same 10 again!!! Lol. Didnt even hv a long enough playlist, lol
@Kelwolfen - pick up a copy of Levon Helm's book, This Wheel's On Fire. I can barely watch The Last Waltz any more, knowing what an asshole Robbie was.
Yes, what's going on with Robbie Robertson boycott? I love him, but he wouldn't be my pick, love Zep huge fan when I was a teenager and Janice..Jefferson Starship, I saw u2 last summer, but my heart belongs to the Boss, I adore Springsteen..
Living-Sting
Dead-- either -- Freddie Mercury or Stevie Ray Vaughn
Kate Bush on her one and only tour. God, she was incredible on that tour (at least on the tapes -- I wasn't into her music until well after 1979).
Second choice? Aha. I wish I had seen them on their farewell tour.
Super simple, Jeff Buckley.
I'd go back to see any grateful dead show, even the crappy ones.
Yes front row of Jeff Buckley *swoon*
Sting
Depeche Mode circa Devotional Tour 1993. I'd get the hell backstage to Dave Gahan & let him show me the world in his eyes.
Thanks Syko, I'll check it out.
T-Rex, RIP Marc Bolan! or The Who live in the 60s... such a tough question!
Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper in Clear Lake Iowa. I'd also take a limo and drive them to their next gig so they didn't get on that damned plane!
Yes - Ziggy Stardust, Led Zeppelin, Queen... Joy Division, Pink Floyd (just saw the 60 Minutes clip of Roger Waters' The Wall and I am dying to see that)... I just can't limit it to one.
Without a doubt, Layne Staley. RIP.
Kate Bush! God I love her, but I would love to see Steve Perry back with the original Journey. The one without Randy Jackson.
Jimi Hendrix
Definitely the Beatles...
2nd choice a just slightly high Amy Winehouse!!!
the DEAD!!
Beatles or Nirvana
Sting
just throwing this out there because I have to be all sweet and wonderful around my family, but I got laid off work today. They were nice enough to tell me that I can stay until August. Life sucks. No education, no talent, mediocore human being in general. Where the fuck is the beer.
Sorry to hear that, BigMama. It's a scary world. Hopefully this turns out good for you and you find something else that's better and pays more.
Thank you Syko - *sniff* gonna have a hard time with this, even though I knew it was coming.
BigMama - You are NOT mediocre!! Hang in there. It will get better.
BigMama I was laid off two jobs in a row so I can relate. You have mad skills and you will articulate them as you update your resume. Wishing you all the best. Some of my best jobs have been "rebounds ". Believe it and it will be so. I'm putting it out in the universe for you. Good luck!
Jim Morrison circa 1967. Let me sleep all night in your Soul Kitchen.
Supertramp.
Yep. I'm old.
New Kids On The Block. Not even embarrassed
I guess i am fortunate as I have seen many already listed, the Beasties a bunch of times, INXS, Elvis Costello at least 10 times, Oingo Boingo for nearly every Halloween show, Ramones, I was also at Queen at the forum 1980? when the Blasters opened for them. Funny enough i am going to see Prince tonight here in Sydney.
My list of wishes are down to three, Robert Johnson in a delta roadhouse, one of the italian castrato soprano singers, or Mozart (preferably the teenage years).
R.A.M.O.N.E.S, R.A.M.O.N.E.S, RAMONES!
@BigMama, a door closes, a door opens, maybe to a better place. I'm with Sherry putting it out to the universe for you.
Best of luck to you!
Either Nirvana or maybe Pink Floyd.
The only "known" band I've seen live is The Human League.
Ramones!!
Elvis. I wanna be one of those screaming idiots in the front row, preferably at his '68 comeback tour. <3 *Swoon*
bob dylan in his 30s.
Samantha Ronson and the Undertsakers
Hands down ray charles
P!nk. Simple.
no nostalgia tonight: i want Band Of Horses!!!!
^That should be easy to do, they are on tour! I've seen them 3 times. They are awesome.
Dead...the Beatles. Alive...I still have U2 on the list.
