Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Brad Nowell, Kurt Cobain, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday
I saw her in concert at Chautauqua, NY years ago. Showtunes aren't my thing, really, but she was a lot of fun.
Joplin, Hendrix & Jackson

Dan Fogelberg,John Denver (saw him several times in concert but wish I could have seen him again), Frank Sinatra, even though I was a kid and he was from Mom's generation...I'd like to have seen him for Mom.
Still living but not around here very conveniently these days: Tom Jones. Also for Mom: ) Hubby and I went to see him one time when we were kids and he was kind of vulgar.
Wish I could have heard Janis Joplin in person.
The Archies didn't exist; it was a bunch of studio musicians and singer/producer Ron Dante with his voice recorded several times over (although I vaguely remember female backing singers). Hope that doesn't shatter any childhood illusions.
The Beatles, Patsy Cline, Nirvana, Sublime, Queen, Amy Winehouse.. this list could go on forever ha.
Brad Nowell
Michael Jackson

Casper, I love you so much baby boy... waking up with you in the house is a blessing every day! Thank you for filling our home and hearts with so much love, joy, laughter and ever so sweet Sammy smiles! We belong together! XOXOX
Jim Morrison..............
I would love to have had a chance to see Huddie Ledbetter play a twelve string in person. I can't wrap my head around some of the things he could do with a 12 string.
I am the king of all things stupid!
Jeff Buckley, so close yet so far
Kurt Kobain and Nirvana, .... I don't believe they ever came anywhere close to here. and Layne Staley and AIC when they were in Louisville. I will forever kick myself in the ass for not going.
Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette and Janis Joplin
It would be so awesome to see Patsy live. My heart would melt.
I am the king of all things stupid!
I don't think I've ever seen a dead musician on stage, Keith Moon slumped over his drum kit might have been interesting, although he would keep missing his cue i guess..
I am the king of all things stupid!
I was lucky enough to see NIRVANA, and meet kurt.
I wish I could have seen joplin, hendrix, morrision.
"if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask someone else first" Kurt Cobain

Heh!!!
Keith Moon was my pick. Although in video footage his form looks a little awkward, he obviously had zero trouble getting around the drum set - No matter how foul a mood I'm in, if "Who Are You" comes on the radio, his playing just blows me away and makes everything all right.
He also was probably funny as shit. When he wasn't being a complete jerk (from anecdotes that have circulated about him...obviously I wouldn't know)

The Beatles when they came to Vancouver in the 60's. Tickets were $5 and my mum said she would never pay an outrageous price like that. I never forgave her.
Elvis and Liberace, of course. If I can go back in time to 1965-70, I can be able to see the Beatles, the Stones with Brian Jones, the Who with Moon and Entwistle, and also Led Zeppelin with Bonham.
Nice! I had a chance to see him with the Mescalaros but ended up missing the show for some dumbass reason...
Judy, Frank, Sammy, Dean.
Mozart.
I am a sick puppy....woof woof!!!

Michael Jackson
Freddie Mercury
Elvis Presley
Warren Zevon, Ian Curtis, Joe Strummer, The Ramones.
Definitely the Ramones. Also Wendy O. Williams. I worshiped her when I was in my 20s in the 1980s. I was so pissed off when the Plasmatics toured with KISS and the night before they were to play in my town was their last night on the tour. We got Night Ranger to open... *fake smile* Would have loved to have seen Joe Strummer, too, such a sad, unexpected loss.
Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, ( I would love to see Bonnie and Clapton perform or do a CD together) Sir Elton, oh, must they be dead? Saw Elvis, weeks before he died, he was so bloated and so white, wish I could have seen him in his prime. Lennon, MJ, Patsy Cline, (that voice!) Ella Fitzgerald, the Rat Pack.
Freddie Mercury with Queen
Patsy Cline
Michael Jackson
Hank Williams Sr
Buddy Holly
Apparently, I was born a couple of decades too early! lol
never got to see Led Zeppelin(my fave band) in concert and that is my biggest regret! saw page and plant in 1995,saw plant live 2 times,so that will have to do!
John Lennon! One of my all time faves, but died before I was born. I used to live two blocks from the Dakota and always hated walking past it. Just a creepy ass vibe there for me. He's still a hero in New York. Always tourists outside there starring in...
Amy Winehouse.
She was supposed to come to Edinburgh to do a gig but it was in the middle of her...let's say bad stage. I kept debating over it because there was no guarantee she would even turn up and decided against it in the end. It was cancelled anyway - her dad said she had the 'flu' but who knows.
I'd also love to have seen Roy Orbison just to hear that voice live but I was only nine when he died so it wasn't meant to be and it may sound weird but Jim Reeves. When I was little, my Nana and I would listen to all his recordings together (Everyone else refused saying he was dated) but it would have been nice to take her to see him.

I would have love to have seen Jim Morrison, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Karen Carpenter. I'm sure there are more, just can't think of them at the moment.
Wish I could of seen Karen Carpenter in concert.
(but not her brother Richard) because I think
he is a big time jerk.
Carolyn(1958-2009) always in my heart.
I would have loved to have seen the original line up of Lynyrd Skynyrd although it would have been a bit hard since I was born in the 80s. I know they are still touring (even though they were supposed to have retired) but as many have said they are more or less just a tribute band now and are nothing without Ronnie, Allen, Steve, Cassie and the others and after watching some of the old stuff on YouTube, I gotta agree.
Prince. From around this time period.
Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.
Janis would have been a blast as would so many of her time. I would love to have seen Pavarotti in his prime and although not a fan of opera, his voice was so pure & sublime. Definitely the Beatles, even if you couldn't hear a word over the screaming. Just to say you were there. I own a very, very small piece of a brick from the Cavern Club before it was torn down.
I had the chance to see Elvis when I was young in Vegas with my father, but being young I didn't want to go. He died less than a year later. If only I'd had a crystal ball!
There's something happening here, what is is ain't exactly clear.
I could still hear in the 80s and wish I had gone to one of their concerts. The only one I ever went to was Jerry Lee Lewis, when he performed at the high school gym in my hometown. My aunt, her friend, and I were as close to him as we could get without sitting in his lap. The friend screamed "JERRY!" And Jerry looked me right in the eye. I was so embarrassed I wanted to crawl in the nearest hole.

I would also like to add Freddie Mercury.
So wish I would have went to see Tom Petty on his last tour.
