Jimmy Henrix and The Doors

when they were not stoned out of their minds.

Oh, another one I just thought of, Johnny Cash at Folsom as long as I wasn't on death row, mind!

I would have liked to seen the Beatles but only if it was after their hey day. those concerts were insane with the screaming. Would have been curious how they sounded live. there are live shows of them but the music is not that easy to hear.

 

[Peter Parka]

From what I've seen the Beatles would have been shit to see live. As you say, all the screaming, the main reason they got pissed off with gigs and virtually stopped doing them before they brought out their best stuff.

my sister saw the Rolling Stones when they first toured back around 1964 or 65

As I recall it was the same with them. The friggin screaming would drive me nuts.

Bowie. Sucks being born in '90 haha.

not sure what you mean'

Bowie sucks

or sucks being born too late to see him back in the day?

One of the best concerts I saw was Bowie when he changed the persona to the Thin White Duke. His first tour as that. It was at the old Olympia Stadium hockey arena where the Red Wings played. I had ground floor seats about 20 rows back right in the middle. Just back enough to be behind the morons that would not sit down. It was like a Las Vegas revue. The guy was smooth as all get out.

Can would be another unbelievable show i think. a Faust show!
