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

[Otto!]

Let’ say some time traveler shows up and offers you to go back in time for one night only, but it has to be for a live concert, more specifically from an artist who is no longer around.

For me it would be a tough choice between John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Stevie Ray Vaughn. All brilliant musicians and all time favourites of mine.

If I have to only pick one it would be Stevie for sure. Easily of one the top 10 guitar players of all time in my book.




What say you?

 

[Sonny Qc]

I'm 34, not really a huge music fan.

Tupac, I guess.

 

[Rob Battisti]

Prime MJ
Prime Prince

I also think going to see a Beethoven or Mozart would be incredible

 

[hohner]

Nickelback as long as they have Puddle of Mudd opening for them.

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Can I choose the whole Woodstock festival? I'd gladly kill any surviving artists if I can go back there

Pink Floyd in Pompeii would be amazing, not a concert as such as no one was there, but I could twang the tangerine or something

And yeah, let me tour the jazz clubs of Paris in the 60's so I can see all the greats up close and personal

 

[Zinger]

I'd like to see Viktor Tsoy perform. Love that guy.



@Oceanmachine Check out some Good Russian Music.

My first live show was Scorpions at the Colisée in Quebec City in 1982. I feel old…

Seeing Hendrix in Woodstock would have been a religious experience for me.

I get the feeling that of all Sherdog posters you’d be the one who would have felt the most at home in Woodstock.

 

[Noveltymortar]

Either Bowie in his Thin White Duke phase, or Elvis.

 

[Cpt Migraine]

Queen..

 

[shunyata]

Prime MJ
Prime Prince

Prime Prince and Prime Hendrix would be amazing.


Hell I'd want to sit in on the jam session Hendrix had with Cream that caused Clapton to have a panic attack and storm off the stage in an empty venue. They found Clapton backstage with his hands trembling, fumbling a cigarette and saying "you didn't tell me he was THAT fucking good".

 

[Zax0r]

Bob marley or Culture.

Bowie, bobby darin that dude could sing.

 

[milliniar]

Mozart

My oldman met and hung out with Stevie Ray after a concert in Auckland NZ in the mid 80s. Stevie had a kiwi missus at the time and spent a lot of time in NZ.

 

[surgeyou1]

Eminem.

 

[rocketskates]

Hendrix. Not even a debate for me.

 

[raty tat tat]

Hendrix. Not even a debate for me.

Same here and also Jim Croce.

 

[Henry Swanson]

Probably Queen just to see Freddy kick some ass.

added bonus, I’m a huge John Deacon fan.

 

[Henry Swanson]

Hendrix. Not even a debate for me.

Experience or Band Of Gypsies?

I would have never made it out alive!

Course if I had to die it would be listening to Joplin....
