Who would you most like to see perform that you have never seen?
Living: Van Morrison, Paul Weller
Dead: John Lee Hooker, George Harrison, Miles Davis, the whole Buena Vista Social Club, Hank Williams...I could go on and on...
I will try to think of a new theme for future questions of the day.

Devo (still around, kinda)
Niranva (on my "to see" list, but didn't get around to it...)
Jill Sobule (the "I Kissed a Girl" lady; many good albums)
Laptop (obscure NY semi-Gary Newman/industrial guy with sardonic lyrics)
Buddy Holly (I'd take him over Hendrix every day -- for songwriting and arranging chops)
--GG
BB King. He used to play a little venue in my town all the time when I was in college for like 6 bucks a head. Now it costs a fortune to go see him, or anyone else for that matter.

alive? meh...I'm tired of everything
Dead: John Lennon, Patsy Cline, Hank Sr., Johnny Cash, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, James Marshall Hendrix and G.G. Allin.
Bands that I'd like to see that have dead members which prevent them from performing: Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Clash, Bob Marley and the Wailers and the Mentors.
Bands that I'd like to see that have a full complement of live members but are broken up and don't tour: Talk Talk (who I'd like to see more than anybody on this list) The Close Lobsters, The Chameleons and December.
Live solo acts I'd like to see: John Hiatt, Paul Weller and Steve Reynolds, formerly of Speed Queen.
Talk Talk! YES!
But you could not pay me to go see GG Allen. Well, maybe I'd do it for the 40 grand I need for Antarctica. But I would sit in the way way back and bring ear plugs and keep my eyes closed most of the time.
The last band in each paragraph of my list is a joke. I really don't care to see them, except for G.G., maybe, especially if he stabbed himself on stage during the performance.
And Rob is the only person I know who's seen Talk Talk. He saw them in 1986 on their last tour ever, for the Colour of Spring. They opened up for the Psychedelic Furs. I regret not seeing this show. I didn't know how cool Talk Talk was back then.
Too bad Talk Talk was done touring by the time they did their masterpiece, The Spirit of Eden.
