March 5, 201016 yr Not long before he died, Elvis Presley was in concert in Cincinnati. I believe the tickets were around $50.00 which was unheard of at that time. I was a life long Elvis fan but thought fifty dollars was outrageous and would not pay it. He died shortly after that. Although it would have been "old Elvis" I really regret not seeing him. So my vote would be pre-drug Elvis, second would be bloatly Elvis. The Beatles would also be up there.
March 5, 201016 yr Elvis and The Beatles no doubt would come in 1 & 2 in a worldwide poll of this question. In addition to them, there are lots of bands I wish I could have seen in their prime. #1 for me would be KISS. Probably the 1978 Alive II tour before Peter Criss' drug habit forced him out. I was 11 at the time and just discovering them, but too young to go to a concert. I'd like to go back now and take it in. A few more off the top of my head... The Eagles Queen The Doors Ray Charles Aerosmith Zeppelin Tina Turner The Stones
March 5, 201016 yr Seeing Garth Brooks for free, drinking beer out of the back of a pickup truck we pulled up next to the stage at Louisville Motor Speedway was pretty awesome.
March 5, 201016 yr Zepplin, Doors, Hendrix, Nirvana, old ACDC, old Van Halen, old Lynard Skynard, Pantera, Skid Row, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, CCR, just name a few
March 5, 201016 yr Seeing Garth Brooks for free, drinking beer out of the back of a pickup truck we pulled up next to the stage at Louisville Motor Speedway was pretty awesome. ...and that's where we differ.
March 5, 201016 yr LOts of good choices here. I'll throw in The Boss, mid-70s. He was going to be one of my picks but I've seen him 20 + times already!:ylsuper:
