Wow, I’ve seen half that list play live. I feel pretty good about that. As for my list, I would remove Richards and add SRV. I also am not sure about having Chuck Berry in there. I would probly replace him with Buddy Guy or Billy Gibbons. Just my opinion nothing more. I am a huge Van Halen fan so I would move EVH up the list a bit at least in the top 5. The guys I have seen by the way-
Edward Van Halen (14 times)
Clapton (1)
BB King (3)
Page (1)
Townsend (1)
Also had the good fortune to see Vaughan play live 3 times before his demise. I was absolutely blown away the first time I saw him. Third row in a 3000 seat theater on the “Soul to Soul” tour right in fron of his mike stand about 20 ft away. I dont think my jaw came off the floor til about 4 songs in. His death was such a tremendous loss to the world of music. I still havent gotten over it.
That’s an interesting perception. I’ve seen Page, Clapton, Van Halen, Townshend and Richards but not the others. I saw Clapton play in a club in the mid-to-late 80s.
