If You Could See One Music Artist Play One Song, Who Would It Be?
 

Working away here listening to my iTunes library that has roughly 50,000 songs in it and had a question pop in my head.

If you could see one artist/band, dead or alive, play ONE song, who would it be and which song?

It's a really tough question...even myself I haven't come up with an answer yet. The obvious is probably somebody that has passed or a band that no longer plays...I've been pondering this for the last few hours.

Does this include bringing back the dead ....or just living

Definitely includes bringing back the dead!

Johnny Cash around 1965/66ish. This would be my 1st. choice. Tim john---

i second johhny cash !

Oh yah now that would be killer! But what song??

#1 Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady

#2 Janis Joplin - Piece of my heart

Keeping with the theme of artists that killed themselves with drugs and alcohol, I gotta say Layne Staley. Almost any Alice in Chains acoustic song will work.

Wow ...your right too hard I can think of Zepplin,Beatles,nirvana,stp,cash,Elvis,hendrix,Jop lin, queen really there is WAY too many artists yet songs. If I HAD to choose mine would be cliché' zepplin... stairway . Second pick...of the wall but Elvis....in the ghetto

#1. Jimmy Hendrix- Wind Cries Marry

#2. Jim Morrison - Crystal Ship

This is too tough! As soon as I zero in on one, then I think of someone else!:rockin:

John Lennon Imagine

Johnny Cash for me. Not sure which song though...

No contest!

:P

That was the first song that came to mind.

Jim Morrison "Roadhouse Blues" I'd love to grab that beer with him.

Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I'm having trouble picking a song, though. Too many good ones.

Randy

I think I'm with you - Can I get transported back in time to see his last performance at Alpine Valley?

And he played with Clapton and Robert Cray that nite. Would of loved to been there....not sure if they all jammed together, but i bet they did///

Been to a few G-3 jam sessions, Satriani and guests, awesome!!

Still trying to answer the question though, its a good question.

Saw Queen with Paul Rodgers in 05 at the Hollywood bowl, epic!!
The Who in '00 with Entiwhistle, Daltry, Townsend and Jasom Bonham on drums that was awesome. Saw the Stones twice, very good. Petty being one of my faves, Seen Rush 5 times, Moving Pictures (when it came out and currently, friggen awesome)
Unfortunately most of the concerts i went to in the 80's i was pretty baked....

My biggest surprise concert was the Grateful Dead in '89, wasn't wanting to go, went anyway, and was a great show....

I think maybe for me i would have loved to have seen Pink Floyd "The Wall" at Madison Square or Hollywood bowl, 1980....

Randy Rhoads, Mr. Crowley.

And Buddy Guy and Stevie's Brother Jimmy! Yes, they did Jam!

Bon Scott era AC/DC - any song from that time would be great.

Ozzy/Randy Rhoads - Crazy Train

Just bought tickets to Dwight Yoakam. I like alot of different types so hard to choose.

Wedding dance song 19 years ago, 'True Companions' is inscribed in my ring. :D

I just bought tickets the other day for "Get the LED Out" they are a LED Zeppelin tribute band and are fantastic, seen them last year and was amazed with their talent. If you ever get the opportunity to see them, I highly recommend doing so. Tim john---

He's somebody I've always wanted to see. He comes around enough, just can't ever seem to make it happen.

Waylon Jennings....75-79 "waymores Blues" or anything from that era for that matter

Anything from Buddy Holly.

Wow, that's a great question. Stevie Ray Vaughn-Life by the Drop. It amazes me that a guy known for his flaming guitar, his best work, IMO was an acoustic song.

Marty Robbins, El Paso. What a song!
I've been very fortunate to see Springsteen play Backstreets on concert. That's right at the top of the list.
I could go on but you said just one artist/song, right?

Frampton comes alive would have been a good show..Do you Feel like we do

Willie Nelson - You were always on my mind.
I second Marty Robbins - El Paso and the followup El Paso City

Peter still tours a lot - I caught an Acoustic show last year!

Jim Morrison and the Doors

"Light my Fire"

I agree, and my request would be "Hurt"
