    Default The Artist You Would Bring Back From The Dead If You Could

    This link was on another music board I belong to where we are having a nice conversation about it. Thought it would be interesting to see who we'd all bring back if we could.

    I voted "other" for Benjamin Orr of The Cars and Brian Connolly & Mick Tucker of Sweet but of course I would want to see Freddie Mercury, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jim Morrison, Jon Bonham, etc... back also.

    Definitely Elvis. Assuming he's really dead. I've heard rumors he isn't

    Seriously, one more live performance, one more movie, one more anything from Elvis would be perfect.

    Keith Moon would probably top my list. I saw The Who several times with Entwistle but Moonie died before I was born.

    I've heard he hangs out at a Mc Donald's somewhere in Michigan, isn't it? With Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin!!

    Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Gram Parsons would be my top picks. I love them all so much. John Lennon would be next.

    I would love to see what else Janis Joplin, Judee Sill and Eva Cassidy would have done, too. Incredible voices.

    I don't know. It's hard for me to argue that any one person is more worthy to live than another, even for something light like this.

    Perhaps think of it as "Which musician, no longer living, would you most like to have seen in concert?" That's essentially it!

    I think the ones I would have loved to have seen would have to be HENDRIX , JANIS JOPLIN, JOHN LENNON, STEVIE RAY VAUGHN & JIM MORRISON..... I have never seen any of them...

    Who would I like to bring back.......NO Question KEITH MOON, GEORGE HARRISON, & STEVE MARRIOTT...I had seen all of them in the 70's & wish they were still around to see again.

    Ok.....my first thought was ELvis (Va great minds think a like)

    I love Elvis even if people think its Hooky.lol always have. (The wonder of you and Cant help falling in love give me chills everytime) Would have been nice to see him but I think I was born too late.

    George Harrison....would love to have seen him in person. tremendous talent aside from the beatles.

    Billy Preston. Him too.

    I have been blessed to see a lot of talent in my life and I am greatful everytime I see a legend.(BBKIng, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood,Bruce Springsteen and the list goes on and on.)

    Everytime we someone, I say to JAHH....you never know god only knows if they will be here next year or you or me....thats my line and I am sticking with it.
