VANITY: You could go back in time and see one band live at their peak. Who do you choose?

Yes, this is a vanity, because in these times we all need a break, and thats why I come here sometimes. So...who do you choose?

Been to watch both of them, but I’d sure as hell go see Stevie again!

I went with a friend to see Steve Goodman at a very small venue (cannot remember the name) in Brookline, MA. One of the pictures on the wall (of rockers performing) showed a singer with a black mullet, in big shorts and suspenders. The shorts were made from an American flag. I said ‘WHO IS THAT???’, to my friend. She said ‘oh, it’s a British group named Queen’. Would have LOVED to see Queen at their peak. That being said, I was so happy to have seen Steve Goodman (my second time) as he passed just a few years later from leukemia. Heaven surely has a helluva band up there. <3

Ella Fitzgerald.

I saw her at the Newport Jazz Festival not too long before she died, and she was fabulous.

She must have been stupendous at her prime.

I went to high school with the lead singer for Head East. He was/is a great drummer too, and when the bands start playing again you might be able to catch him sitting in with a few bands in the Bonita Springs area.

Dunno, just born with it I guess :)

No really, I just thought there are a lot of bands that are still around intact or mostly intact I can still see, and a lot of bands that aren’t around but I can at least listen to a live album or a bootleg or see a film of when they were at their peak. But that tour, there are only a couple short clips of and the shows are legendary. Plus it’s one of my favorite albums (at least until the middle of the second half where they start wandering around a little aimlessly).

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Yes...(coming back to thread)...loved the movie too. I’d listen to Mozart in the listening lab between classes with breaks at WSU in Detroit in the early 70’s.

My pup who will be 1 year soon is named Wolfgang.
