[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

1. Queen. I rub into thy face. (nt)

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Beatles.

First Chicago concert back in 1964.

[charlyvi]

21. Me too.

Both at the White Sox Park and the Amphitheater (the first time). God, are we old or what?

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. Wow....

Yes, we are decrepit. Just joking. We were in that same audience? LOL, what a coincidence.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

32. Paul McCartney's band on his "New World Tour" in 1990. Linda...may she

rest in peace.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

33. The Beach Boys (one of the versions that was touring in the 1990s).

Carl Wilson was still alive.

[Fenris]

3. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

[ET Awful]

4. Grateful Dead n/t

[DBoon]

35. Yeah

Saw them in 1976 and on their last US tour 1995.

Great show.

[Seabiscuit]

49. My choice as well.

Met them in 1977 in Fairfax, CA.

[Mark H]

5. The Stones'

I know technically they're still alive, but I don't know how.

[budkin]

6. Morphine and Elliott Smith

Ironically saw them both at the same place... the old Liberty Lunch in Austin, TX, which is now itself deceased. In fact, I had tickets to see Morphine again at the same place and the lead singer died on stage at the show before Austin. Doh!

[Fenris]

8. Pretty good excuse for not showing up to a gig, though.

"Sorry guys, Mark died on stage. No show."

[babylonsister]

7. Lynard Skynard/ Allman Bros.

[cavanaghjam]

9. Frank Zappa RIP

most technically proficient and daring guitarist, sorely missed

and the big three
Janis Jimi and Otis

and Mama Cass

and surely the drummer for Spirit is dead by now
though I hope not. I even liked their not-so-good stuff.

The music lives on.

[tekriter]

13. A toast to Uncle Meat...

and the rest....

:toast:

[orpupilofnature57]

18. Captain beef heart too and( randy california ) RIP

[DBoon]

39. Suzi Creamcheese

Honey, what's got into you?

[cavanaghjam]

44. Hey alright, the DK emblem

Haven't seen that for a while. Caught their act years ago. I was the oldest by a deacade and the only one with a beard but we were all united in frenzy.

[NurseLefty]

51. I met Frank Zappa... cool guy

It was when he was fighting the PMRC.
RIP, Frank.

[WCGreen]

14. INXS

Lionel Hampton
The Who
The Cars
Mike and THe Mechanics
Muddy Waters
Paul McCartney and Wings

[Mojambo]

15. Exploding Hearts

Thanks to a devastating car accident only one still lives.

Best band to only release one album in the history of rock and roll, IMO.

[Dogmudgeon]

16. The Germs

Darby did the corporeal disappearing act some time ago.

Patti Donohoue of The Waitresses -- Cancer.

INXS -- Saw them with the Go-Gos; I thought Gina Schock would be the first to go, but the heart surgery she had in 1981 worked quite well.

Lush -- Chris Ackland (drummer) took his own life right after they became semi-famous. They got a new drummer for the next two albums, but have disbanded.

I also saw the Dead Milkmen several times, and socially, too -- they were my neighbors when I lived in Philly.

Alan Mann -- Another local Philly rocker. He died after jumping out of a window to escape being burned alive in a fire. Actually, though, he did die of the burns rather than the fall.

Ben Vaughn Combo -- Aldo died about a year ago from lukemia. At one point, we were pretty tight. I hadn't seen him in years. That was a tough obit to read.

Morphine -- I also knew them from being a sleep tech and doing a polysomnogram on one of their parents (privacy concerns prevent me from saying more).

Warren Zevon.

I'm sure I missed some.

--p!

41. or "Straight to Hell"!

I love that Joe photo, by the way.

When he died, someone I know told this story about how they'd gone to see the Mescaleros a few years earlier, and were drinking in a diner near the venue before it opened.

The door swings open, and in walks this solitary figure in a big black trenchcoat, a cigarette hanging out of the corner of his mouth, and a guitar slung over his shoulder.

It was Joe Strummer...who proceeded to sit down at the counter and have a shot of tequila with my friend and his friends.

"...an' if you're in the Crown tonight,
have a drink on me..."

[JimmyJazz]

42. Yeah - Joe and I met a few times. He was one of us - never

comfortable with being famous, but just a real down to earth sweetheart of a man. Meet me here on the 22nd, I have some pictures to post and I wanna talk about him - I'd love to hear more of what you have to say. I know you are a real fan because you picked me out of a crowd when I was 101er.
