If you could go back in time to see a concert from an artist who died, who would it be?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

I would have loved to seen Buddy Holly. That would have been something special.

Not really a specific year or concert, but I'd love to go see a very young frank Sinatra singing in NYC and take my grandma. We used to listen to his records when I was a little kid
Or.....

See a young bb king when he was first developing his sound

 

[rocketskates]

No man I’ve never seen that! What’s the story behind it?

From what I had heard…this performance was two days after The Beatles Sgt Peppers album had come out. Paul was in the audience at this show and was blown away that Jimi and the band had learned the song in less than two days. I think the coolest part is when Jimi asks for a new pick mid solo and keeps playing by hammering the strings with his right hand.

 

[burningspear]

Jim.

 

[Jose Beehive]

Rachmaninoff or MF DOOM

Imagine being there in Moscow in 1892 watching a fucking 19 year old who had just come up with this in his dream of music playing at his funeral.

 

[Max Power]

Kinda boring answer, Queen with Freddie Mercury. Wouldn't be a boring show tho!

I was going to say Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli or Sviatoslav Richter. They both died while was in grad school. I was thinking about making a trip to Austria to see Richter.

 

[TheSauce]

Type O Negative
Alice in Chains
Heaven and Hell
The Highwaymen
Queen
Motorhead
Stevie Ray Vaughan

i'd like to go to bob marleys first concert and shoot him in the face before he makes any more bad music

Don’t hate. The man was all about love.

Great choice. There was definitely nothing boring about them, especially Freddie.

BB King would be up there for me as well.

Have you heard Kingfish (Christone Ingram)? Holy crap this kid blew me away the first time I saw one of his videos. I can listen to him playing all night long. Such an old soul already.



It was awesome to see him play in a Luke Cage episode.

 

[scorpiorising]

Eazy E, Beatles, Elvis

 

[genecop]

Without a doubt…

At the Whiskey…

Yeah I was gonna say about the hammer ons.

reminds me of that clip of BB King Changing a string in the middle of a song.

 

[RogerB08]

Johnny Cash.

 

[JSN]

It would be pretty sick to see Beethoven playing one of his own piano concertos.

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

I would also like to see Bob. This is a tune I would want to travel back to see, but when it was recorded:

 

[Zax0r]

Bob Marley never wrote a bad song

100% this.

He had so much more in him too. 36 is to young.

My mother saw Sinatra in 1977 or 1978.

She took me to a festival when I was 12 with The police, Iggy Pop, and the Go-Gos. She went with me to The Who's 25th anniversary tour.

 

[clutchCAT420]

Van halen, the beatles and the king of rock and king of pop. Nuff said..
