The Project Revolution Concert was awesome!! except me and my bf got seats instead of lawn and we were on the 2nd to last row i was mad, if i would have known they were going to be that bad i would have opted(sp) for lawn, everyone from lawn rushed the stage when Korn came on!! it was awesome Korn is sooo good live and so is Linkin Park and at the end they did a song together!!! So awesome!!

Nat King Cole and Eva Cassidy. Both in a heaven I hope to get to some day...filled with their amazing voices!
Oh, if we are talking performers from before my time...
On 20th Century performers who were in their prime before my time, I wish I'd been around to see: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Prima, Louis Jordan, W.C. Handy, the Glenn Miller Band, Sam Cooke, Louis Armstrong, Jim Croce....
I would love to have been around in the 1950s to have seen one of the early Rock Shows with Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins, the Platters, etc.... That had to have been exciting! Or maybe in the 1960s to go to a Motown review with Stevie Wonder, the Temptations, the Four Tops, the Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas....

Eva was during your time darling Nat was before your time. I've always been a huge NKC fan. I can't imagine how nice it must have been to hear that velvet voice in person! Eva had Nat's style (velvet) voice and amazing talent. IF you don't know Eva's work http://evacassidy.org/eva/ visit here and listen to a couple of clips. She died before she became famous (She was number 1 in Europe a few years ago). Once you listen to her voice..I dare you not to become a fan

Elvis, and I have to agree with Z on Stevie Ray Vaughn.
When I was young and my family was vacationing, we tried to get tickets to see Elvis, but they were sold out in no time. That would have been awesome. He died that next year.

Bob Seger. I swear I would travel to see him in concert, but every summer I check and there is never a tour.

Original lineup: Syd Barrett, Richard Wright, Roger Waters, and Nick Mason. Bob Klose left before they started recording to be a photographer

Huey Lewis and the News - circa "Heart of Rock and Roll". I was a huge fan, but also a broke college kid. I could hear the bass from my dorm room - which was just too depressing. I also wish I'd spent the money to see the Eagles. At the time, it seemed like a life savings, but it would have been soooo worth it! I may get another chance with them, though! By the way, my dad (who thinks the world would be a better place with only talk radio, no CD's, no concerts) saw Elvis back in the 50's. He still talks about how great it was. He must have been some kind of performer!

I wish I could have seen Rush in their early years, perhaps after the release of 2112.

I’ve seen Rush a number of times since Grace Under Pressure. They have to be some of the best musicians. Geddy and Neil are incredible. Geddy can’t hit the notes like he ounce could, that’s why I would like to have seen them in their earlier years.
A band influenced by Rush (and old Genesis) is Dream Theater. I’ve been able to see them every time through here since their CD Images and Words. Another band with awesome musicians.
Too bad I was too young to see early Rush and early Genesis.
