What "legends" have you always wanted to see live? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

quadro2000 · 10-09-2003, 07:04 AM

I was just thinking the other day about how Johnny Cash is gone, and I would have loved to have seen him just a few years ago when he was still touring, and now I've missed the chance.

I live in NYC and so many legendary artists come through here, and still I don't make it to their shows. I thought I'd compile a list of "legends" that are still alive, and that I'd love to see live, should I have the opportunity. Please add your own.

Les Paul - plays every Monday night at The Iridium
Ray Charles (I read he recently cancelled a tour)
Oscar Peterson
Dave Brubeck
Simon & Garfunkel (although I just can't afford it)
Jeff Beck
Stevie Wonder
B.B. King

Sleepyjack · 10-09-2003, 07:34 AM

pink floyd
led zeppelin
soundgarden, almost did back in 1996 one of the last concerts (perth) before they broke up!
Alice in chains
the beatles

eple · 10-09-2003, 07:46 AM

I always wanted to see the kings of deathpunk TURBONEGRO playing live. Then they stopped playing because the vocalist hank von helvete had a heroin-fueled breakdown. But then they got back together, made a fucking brilliand record (scandinavian leather) and I could see them at Roskilde Festival!!!
And it was the best consert ever. (exept maybe Björk but whatver)

hooray!

fuzzix · 10-09-2003, 07:51 AM

Pink Floyd
Paul Simon
Vangelis
Jean Michel Jarre
Mike Oldfield
Mike Batt

Arc101 · 10-09-2003, 07:57 AM

I've always regretted not seeing Queen. Freddy Mercury was a great performer. I would love to see Ray Charles, but I'm not sure if he is performing anymore.

djtestudo · 10-09-2003, 08:56 AM

Garth Brooks hands down no question.

Well, technically I was asking people to list living legends, people/groups that are still active, but that's okay, I wasn't too specific, and anyway I'm enjoying where the thread is going.

I echo yours and Arc's sentiments about Queen. I saw Brian May (guitarist) solo in 1992 and it was a great concert but not the same.

I wish I had seen Tina Turner before she did her final tour. I heard she put on an absolutely unbelievable show.
