Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band recently played the final show of their tour in Buffalo, but is it the last time we'll see ever them? Springsteen sure made it sound like a goodbye saying, "The E Street Band has come thousands of miles tonight to be here one last time — for a little while." I'm wondering exactly what "a little while" means . . . Was this possibly their swan song?! I would've loved to have been there. They reportedly played for three and a half hours, so I'm sure it was an epic show.
It got me thinking about all of the acts I'd like to catch someday before they go the way of the E Street Band — and a few I wish I could see (at least in a dream world), e.g. Neutral Milk Hotel before they split, the original Weezer lineup, and the most obvious, The Beatles.
So chime in and tell me: which artists (living or dead) would you want to see on tour?
Jovovich-Hawk
Led Zeppelin! It would be a dream come true of mine! And of course The Beatles. And Grateful Dead (with Jerry Garcia of course). I can name about a million more, but these are the main ones.
1Jeff Buckley. My husband saw him and says the Jeff was amazing and I am jealous to this day.
2I feel like I will be 50 and still going to see Dave Matthews Band- as long as they make music!
3The people I never got a chance to see that I would have loved are Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Elvis Prestly and of course the Bealtes.
Freddie Mercury!!! (With the rest of Queen, of course) WOW I'd love to be there for that show.
4The Beatles or Janis Joplin
5Aerosmith!! They're the first band I remember loving when I was little.
6The Velvet Underground, circa 1968
7I couldn't agree more with the poster above: The Beatles (the later years) and/or Janis Joplin.
8There aren't any classic bands I would want to see. But I would love to see Neutral Milk Hotel, Arcade Fire, Radiohead, and Coldplay, who I saw this summer and it was an absolutely amazing concert.
