So awesome!! _________________________ "When you want some thing, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it" Paulo Coelho

My excuse is that, at that time, I did not really know who Muddy Waters was and maybe I did not fully appreciate Clapton's stature in rock 'n' roll. Z, I saw your list of concerts in the other thread - you've been to some great shows, but this was a big miss! _________________________ Nobody's perfect, not even a perfect stranger.

Oh, if we are talking performers from before my time... On 20th Century performers who were in their prime before my time, I wish I'd been around to see: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Prima, Louis Jordan, W.C. Handy, the Glenn Miller Band, Sam Cooke, Louis Armstrong, Jim Croce.... I would love to have been around in the 1950s to have seen one of the early Rock Shows with Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins, the Platters, etc.... That had to have been exciting! Or maybe in the 1960s to go to a Motown review with Stevie Wonder, the Temptations, the Four Tops, the Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas.... _________________________ Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city

I can't imagine how nice it must have been to hear that velvet voice in person! Eva had Nat's style (velvet) voice and amazing talent. IF you don't know Eva's work http://evacassidy.org/eva/ visit here and listen to a couple of clips. She died before she became famous (She was number 1 in Europe a few years ago). Once you listen to her voice..I dare you not to become a fan _________________________ Dawn Coursey VP/CRA Queen CRA Rating is in...Oh who cares...I'm home with the baby.

When I was young and my family was vacationing, we tried to get tickets to see Elvis, but they were sold out in no time. That would have been awesome. He died that next year. _________________________ You need an attitude adjustment ---- let me get my tools!

That's also my one concert regret. December 1984 he was in Lexington, KY, just 4 hours away. It was also my freshman year in college. Of all the dumb things I did in college, missing Springsteen was probably the dumbest. _________________________ Opinions expressed are mine and not necessarily that of my employer.

For me it's a toss up between Zepplin and Floyd. If I could go back but could only see one of them I think I'd tear myself in two! BTW - after Roger Waters left Pink Floyd, after The Wall, there were no original members in the band! _________________________ This is my opinion; it is not legal advice, nor the view of my employer, and it may change tomorrow.

Lestie G Power Poster Joined: May 2002 Posts: 3,608 Near the Land of Enchantment	Huey Lewis and the News - circa "Heart of Rock and Roll". I was a huge fan, but also a broke college kid. I could hear the bass from my dorm room - which was just too depressing. I also wish I'd spent the money to see the Eagles. At the time, it seemed like a life savings, but it would have been soooo worth it! I may get another chance with them, though! By the way, my dad (who thinks the world would be a better place with only talk radio, no CD's, no concerts) saw Elvis back in the 50's. He still talks about how great it was. He must have been some kind of performer! _________________________ Opinions my own.

I would love to have seen them in the late 70's or early 80's, but I was too young. I wasn't too young; I did see them (I think it was in '82 on the Moving Pictures tour). They were technically great and it was an excellent show. But I have to say that they were so focused on their music that there wasn't much interaction with the crowd. It was like listening to the album. But just to watch Geddy Lee doing three things at once (bass, sing, pedal synth) is pretty cool. I think he's one of the best bassists in rock, and Neal Peart is an amazing drummer. _________________________ Nobody's perfect, not even a perfect stranger.

Anonymous Unregistered	I’ve seen Rush a number of times since Grace Under Pressure. They have to be some of the best musicians. Geddy and Neil are incredible. Geddy can’t hit the notes like he ounce could, that’s why I would like to have seen them in their earlier years. A band influenced by Rush (and old Genesis) is Dream Theater. I’ve been able to see them every time through here since their CD Images and Words. Another band with awesome musicians. Too bad I was too young to see early Rush and early Genesis.
