Concerts: Who have you seen dead?

"The Rolling Stones" doesn't count. Everybody's seen them and they've been dead for 15 years... (walking, talking dead, but dead nonetheless...)

8. As in Grateful?

Edited on Sat May-22-04 11:37 PM by DBoon

In 1976 (was in college) and their last tour with Jerry in 1995.

I guess this counts...

If you mean any now-deceased musician, I saw Frank Zappa maybe 4 times in the late 1970's

On Edit: And saw the Minutemen several times, with the now-deceased D. Boon

16. Elvis Presley, May 1977

At the University of Maryland Cole Field House. Got a kiss on the cheek from "The King"!

I remember he didn't look well - really bloated. No one realized just how bad a shape he was in, or that he'd be dead three months later.

18. Sam Kinison, Peter Cooke & Dudley Moore

Well, Pete and Dud were more of a stage show than a concert ("Good Evening"). I'm not a big concert-goer, and all the ones I've seen I think the performers are still alive.
