dead musicians you'd like to see live - goth metal raver - 02-03-2010
I work at the concert arena in Manchester (MEN arena) on the bars. On the weekend there was an Elvis Presley concert (I'm still not entirely sure how that works as we don't get to see the show, just serve the customers on the concourse).
Anyway, it got me thinking about which music artists that are dead would I want to travel back in time to see perform live.
There were three in particular and I couldn't narrow it down any further (sorry but Elvis Presley's not one of them)
Anyway, the question then is: What three dead musicians would you most want to travel back in time to see perform live?
My three are Jimi Hendrix, Freddie Mercury and James Brown.
What are your three?

ooh yeah, I'd forgotten Ian Curtis.
You're other choices are very good too.

I saw Dury & The Music Students probably in the 80s at my local venue, and saw John Martyn a couple of times. The Dury show ranks very highly in my league table of live gigs...

But most of musicians which I like are still alive.
