Question of the Day, Saturday, May 6

[Winchester]

Happy Weekend!

Rick and I were talking this morning. While we are huge classic rock fans and have been to our share of concerts throughout the years, there were a few bands/singers that we missed our chance to see. One of the singers I've always wanted to see was Gordon Lightfoot, not classic rock, but still an incredible story teller in song. I won't get that chance now and I'm sorry I didn't.

Are there any bands or singers that you've always wanted to see and never really got the chance to see in concert?

 

[NY cat man]

The Moody Blues, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Jimi Hendrix, and Santana, to name just a few.

 

[Winchester]

N NY cat man Rick is a huge Carlos Santana fan. We finally got to see him at Montage a few years back. Rick was simply enthralled. He loves Santana. We saw the Moody Blues at State College. Great concert! He would have loved to have seen Jimi Hendrix and Joplin, too.

Probably any of the ones that came out of my grandparent’s generation. My stepdad took my mom to see Rosemary Clooney when she was in town and I was secretly SO jealous they didn’t get me a ticket too. (White Christmas is my favorite movie. I can quote it. So they knew I liked her music but I was young enough to not have the money for stuff like that unless they offered. And I wasn’t going to ask.)

My cousins took our grandma to see Tony Bennett about 10 years ago too. Id have been included if I was local. Gram had an amazing night and that’s what matters.

Otherwise I think of people like Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, etc.

I don't like concerts, there's too many people and it's too loud for my senses. And I don't know what it is, but I can't listen to the same singer/band for too many songs in a row before it gets to me.

I am the same way. I went to a few concerts when I was stationed in Germany before I gave up on them. I also don't listen to music for hours on end. When I was still going into the office I would download audio books from the library and listen to those at work.

 

[strider rose]

janis joplin, disturbed, evanescence to name a few

 

[DreamerRose]

Elvis. I was a big fan. He appeared in the places where I lived several times, but I never got to see him.

 

[Kat0121]

I would love to go back and see Pink Floyd when Dark Side of the Moon came out. Unfortunately I was 3 when that happened.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I'm not a big concert person, so there isn't really anyone I wish I could have seen. Maybe Frank Sinatra if I had to say one.

 

[Tobermory]

Simon and Garfunkel; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; and the Eagles would be at the top of my list. I did see Don Henley as a solo act years after the Eagles split up, but I would have loved to have seen the group.

 

[muffy]

Willie Nelson
Johnny Cash
Beatles
Patsy Cline
Janis Joplin
Dionne Warwick

 

[iPappy]

I would have liked to have seen Kenny Rogers. He had some great songs.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

Like Jem , I don’t like concerts. Far too loud, and tbh I much prefer the studio recordings to live performances in most cases. I did go to a Loreena McKennitt concert in the 1990s, but that wasn’t like a band.

 

[neely]

I wish I was old enough to go to Woodstock because I would have loved to see so many of the singers/musicians - CCR, Blood Sweat & Tears, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Joan Baez to name just a few.

 

[Norachan]

Tom Waits.

He's about the only one of my musical heroes, still living, that I've never seen in concert

My husband went to Woodstock. I’ve always been jealous!

Harry Chapin

I saw him at a small fund raiser many years ago while visiting my sister when she lived in Oregon. We were in the 2nd or 3rd row. He was so modest and, of course, I loved his songs. Sadly he passed much too young.
