There have been several interesting topics about various other artists lately, so I'm interested to know, who do you wish had lived long enough for you to be able to see them live? What artists or bands do you desperately wish you had seen in their prime?
1. MUDDY WATERS (died 1983)...More than any other. No question. How I wish I'd been around during the Johnny Winter-Jimmy Cotton era of the mid 70s.
2. Hank Williams (died 1953)
3. Lightnin' Hopkins (died 1982)
4. Louis Armstrong (died 1971)
5. Harry Chapin (died 1981)
6. Leadbelly (died 1949)
BANDS:
6. CCR (broke up 1972)
7. Simon & Garfunkel (broke up 1970)
8. Dave Brubeck Quartet (broke up 1967)
9. Bob Dylan with The Hawks (before they were The Band) (parted ways 1967)
10. Derek & The Dominoes (Clapton & Allman!!!) (1970-1972)
11. The Mamas & The Papas (broke up 1968)
12. Three Dog Night (broke up 1976)

This is a great question, I mean where do I start? First and foremost has to be The Doors, such an amazing band one of my all-time favorites, seeing Jim alive and rocking would be a dream come true for me. Definitely Led Zeppelin at their prime would be life-altering! I can add Elvis, CCR, AC/DC with Bonn Scott and Jimi Hendrix. In more recent times I would have liked to have seen Alice in Chains(Layne Stayley) Cool thread, something Ive always thought about :thumb: I wish I had a time machine, anybody got a flux capacitor and a delorean?
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

If Jim Morrison were alive today, he'd have the looks of Keith Richard and the voice of Bob Dylan :lol:

Jimi Hendrix. The Band of Gypsies concerts. Not that I'm picky....
And I'll join Darkest Canuck for Floyd with Syd Barrett or Roger Waters. Or Roger Waters solo, for that matter.
The Grateful Dead with Pigpen. The Grateful Dead with Jerry Garcia.
Muddy Waters. Howlin' Wolf.
