    For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

    I did get to see Hendrix (great-like a bi............g stereo and, he played "Sunshine of Your Love" of all songs-Axis Bold as Love had just come out). I also would've liked to have seen about 100 others: Freddy, Keith Moon, the Beatles (together), Elvis, Sinatra, Vivaldi,. Beethoven, Mr. Mojo Risin', Stevie Ray, original Led Zep, et al.

    In April we are taking our two little boys, ages 8 and 11, to see Mom's all-time favorite, Bruce Springsteen. Not sure if they will like him or not (even though they hear a lot of him at home and in my car), but once he dies, I want them to be able to say they heard him live in concert... with their Mom and Dad. We're going to all get T-shirts, have someone take a family picture, I can hardly wait!!!

    I wish my parents were this cool when I was growing up!
    Any day above ground is a good day.

    Elvis Presley (by far).
    The Smiths (saw Moz but not the same).
    Buddy Holly.
    Frank Sinatra (young version).

    I saw the original Ramones and they were nothing short of Amazing and I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan 4 times. He too was so good it was scary. The first time I saw SRV it was at the local community college in the "ballroom" which was nothing more than a smallish cafeteria and he stood oh about 10 feet away from me. It was sooo LOUD. Seriously, my ears have had a ringing sound in them ever since.

    Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, they played the Big Day out in Sydney at the Domain in 1992 I think it was and I had just decided that hot sweaty open air concerts were no longer a thing I was prepared to endure!

    Luciano Pavarotti, I could have gone when they (3 tenors) came to Toronto when I lived there. I believe a good ticket cost $1,000, if I remember correctly. Yes, I know....but it's only money. Of course I would have had to go by myself, no one else I knew would pay an entire paycheque to go to a concert, so I did not go, not wanting to go by myself. I really really really wish I had gone.

    The Beatles !!!!!!!!!

    Actually knew two people who really did seem them live ( Washington DC and Denver ) and both told me that half the fun of their show was actually the audience.

    The guy who I know who saw them in Denver told me he remembers the girl next to him was so exicted and nervous watching the Beatles live that she bit a hole through her purse.

    I have seen the majority of bands that I have really wanted to see, but there are some that I'm sure no words could properly describe. I know there are alot more, but these seem to stand out to me the most.

    HA HA HA I totally forgot about those also. I remember getting those, and the little lp was kinda warped from the bending and cardboard it was on, always sounded kinda funny.

    There are alot I would have LOVED to see:
    Janis (OF COURSE)
    The Doors
    Pantera (Dimebag-They came to phoenix about 16-17 years ago. All my guy friends went up to the concert, and ended up staying at the same hotel. They partied with them all night, got signatures, and said they smoked up all they're bag and Dimebag's bag of weed. Said He was the most nicest and coolest musician they had ever met. Suicidal Tendacies was there also, and they said that they just stayed in their own room, not talking to anyone.)
    Patsy Cline
    Jimi Hendrix
    Always been my one thing to have been alive and gone to Woodstock.
    The Sex Pistols with Sid

    I had tickets to see jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius at the University of Toronto. At the last minute, the band I was in got a gig so we all raced off to North Bay. I gave the tickets to my then-girlfriend. We got all the way up to North Bay and found another band already set up on the stage. We were double-booked. So, thanks to our snake/agent, we made the trip for nothing, earned nothing - and I gave up my only chance to see perhaps the greatest bassist ever...for nothing. But, it's not a total loss. In the days and weeks after that concert, she told me many, MANY times how great that show was. We broke up soon after.

    I once...pardon the expression, "opened" for Tiny Tim. He was playing clubs toward the end of his life and was quite portly. He wore an ill-fitting denim patchwork suit, carried a shopping bag and had an entire section of the club closed off where he sat all by himself. I never stuck around to hear his show though. As soon as we were done, I was out the back door.

    I left the Beatles out of my list and I don't know how. But I would have loved to see them in the later years when they didn't tour. It would have been awesome to have been on that rooftop mini concert they gave shortly before their breakup. I am not sure if anyone has gone to YouTube and seen the John Lennon "Mind Games" video, but I highly recommend it.

    One of my fave movies ever!

    Rolling Stones...anytime, anywhere. Have seen them twice already. Would have loved to have been at Altamont.

    "Play Misty for Me" is indeed a fave movie of mine...I love early Clint Eastwood directed movies (I like Breezy also) and I love the scenes they filmed at the jazz festival. Vintage early 1970's. It's great.

    The other day on the radio in Dallas a guy made up a song regarding the polygamist group in Texas. He called it "Polygamisty" and it was to the tune of the song. I called up and said "play Polygamisty for me". He was old enough to remember the movie and he asked me if my name was Evelyn! LOL

I remember walking down the aisle to our seats and Frampton was playing that mouth thing with his guitar. Tripped me out. Freddy was awesome every time I saw him. Strongest voice, best stage presence I have ever seen. He really seemed to enjoy himself.

    There are millions. Right off the top of my head, Freddy Mercury, Jimi Hendrix, Lee Hazlewood, Mamas and the Papas, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Edith Piaf, Marlene Dietrich. Am I living during the wrong time or what

    Billie Holiday, Elvis, Nico, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley and perhaps most of all Johnny Thunders.

    ETA: Pavarotti and Mozart

    I used to have wistful fantasies way before Layne died that I'd be able to hear him sing solo, sort of torch song type numbers in some smoky dive type setting. Sigh. What a voice.

    SECOND EDIT! I can't believe I forgot to add Marc Bolan! Love T-Rex how could I forget?
