December 29, 200619 yr List some of the Singers or groups you want to see BEFORE THEY DIE!!!! Ill go with Neil Young, U2, Paul Mccartney, what about you?
December 29, 200619 yr QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Dec 28, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Wow, how morbid is this? I want to see Barbra Streisand before she dies. Not as morbid as wanting to see her after she dies....
December 29, 200619 yr I WANTED to see Sinatra before he died, and even tried to get tickets when I was in vegas many moons ago and he was there. But since it was last minute, it was waaaaay over my budget. Wayne Newton was the other one I wanted to see, and i did a few years back. i caught one of his Christmas shows in Branson. 3 hours long, and worth it. Now? Noone, really.
December 29, 200619 yr My mom saw Janis Joplin play... that would have been interesting. I'd like to see the Beach Boys/Brian Wilson, The Verve get back together, U2, Allison Krauss & Union Station, and REM
December 29, 200619 yr I've really done a good job of seeing who I wanted to see... finally saw McCartney last year, saw Cobain with Nirvana. I think the one I wouldn't mind seeing that I haven't is U2, I'm not a huge fan, but they are good and heard their live shows are awesome
December 29, 200619 yr I would say Bruce Springsteen. He puts on a great show. I would recommend it for everyone.

December 29, 200619 yr QUOTE(mreye @ Dec 29, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) Or wanting to watch her die... I think everyone was thinking it, but you were the first to say it For me, I have seen Paul McCartney and Weird Al in concert, what's left?
December 29, 200619 yr By far, my first choice would be Willie Nelson On a lesser scale... Hank Jr. Brother Ali Sage Francis Macklemore Fiona Apple
December 30, 200619 yr Anyone ever seen Billy Joel? He's coming to Birmingham in February and I am thinking about going. The tickets are pretty pricey, but I think it may be worth it.

I saw him and Elton John a few years back, and was really disappointed in Elton, but really surprised at how awesome Billy Joel was. It was the exact opposite of what I expected.

I don't even like Billy Joel (dragged to see him by a woman, ain't it always the case? ) and I was highly entertained by his show. I've seen every band I really wanted to, with the exception of four: Thin Lizzy - Phil Lynott is dead, therefore so is Lizzy. They're going to tour with John Sykes singing, and I may just try to catch them. Queen - Freddie is dead, and Paul Rodgers is too different vocally for me to be interested. Jim Carroll Band - Jim doesn't tour with a band anymore, so that's probably out, too. David Lee Roth-era Van Halen - They might be reuniting, but without Michael Anthony, which means I'll pass. Even with MA I'd probably pass anyway, just because I think VH's time has passed.

January 2, 200719 yr I saw INXS before Hutchence died. i thought it was a kick ass show. I'm sure that band is not the same. It would be sad to see them now.
January 4, 200719 yr George Michael... But the way he falls asleep behind the wheel all the time, I think I'm circling the drain. Elvis Costello would be kickin too.
January 4, 200719 yr QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Jan 3, 2007 -> 06:38 PM) Elvis Costello would be kickin too. I wanted to see Elvis Costello for the longest time, but I made the mistake of seeing one of his "intimate performances in a casual setting" - just him and Steve Nieve, guitar and piano, at the Arie Crown Theatre here in Chicago. I literally fell asleep during the show, and walked out when I woke up. It was a HUGE disappointment, and now I don't even want to see him with The Attractions anymore.
January 4, 200719 yr QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Jan 3, 2007 -> 06:38 PM) George Michael... But the way he falls asleep behind the wheel all the time, I think I'm circling the drain. Elvis Costello would be kickin too. George Michael was totally worth it...in the 80's. Not so sure about now. Elvis Costello is on my list as well. Also: Tony Bennett Either of Wayne Newton or Englebert Humperdink Ben Folds Iggy Pop GG Allin (whoops...already dead...SURPRISE!)
