Stevie Ray Vaughan (on the same bill as Jeff Beck!)
I saw The Who three times when John Entwistle was still with us (also saw Entwistle's solo band in 96)
I saw Rick Wright with Pink Floyd on their last tour in 94
I saw Pip Pyle play with both Gong and Hatfield And The North
I saw Jerry Garcia and Vince Welnick with The Grateful Dead twice in 90 and 91
I believe the keyboardist who played with Hawkwind at NEARfest is no longer with us
I saw The Outlaws on that first reunion tour they did in 2003 or 2004, I think it was, a few years before Hughie Thomasson died
I saw Allen Woody perform with The Allman Brothers Band twice, once with Blue Floyd, and once with Gov't Mule
I saw Brad Delp on the last Boston tour before he passed away, in 2004, I think
I saw Carl Wilson and possibly Dennis Wilson (knowing this was not too long before he passed away, I'm not sure if he was still touring or in what capacity if he was) play with The Beach Boys in 82, I think it was.
And I saw Doug Walker several times with Alien Planetscapes and a couple other groupings.
Also saw Louis Boone play with Born To Go two or three times

That's part of my list

I won't make mne (list)... too depressive

[Rarebird]

Kayak - Pim Koopman

[iguana]

off the cuff...

stuart adamson (big country – my first ever concert in 1986)
cozy powell (w./ black sabbath in 1989)
ronnie james dio (1990)
daryl sweet (nazareth, 1990, 1993)

kurt cobain (nirvana, 1992)
jon lord (deep purple, regularly btw. 1991-1999)
kelly groucutt (ELO, 1992, 1994)

can't think of anyone else right now. they will all be missed.

[Jerjo]

Rory Gallagher and John Bonham are the only two that come to mind.

[BravadoNJ]

Richard Wright
Dan Fogelberg

[ajcmixer]

Jerry Garcia - While it was a shock at the time, it really wasn't. He had been going downhill for quite some time before he died and sometimes i wondered how he was still alive. Still, before his time.

Dan Fogelberg - not that there is an "age" in death but he went far too young. The irony is in that he fought for our Mother Earth well before its "time" and Mother Earth took him well before his time.

Brent Mydland - continuing a tragic trend for Grateful Dead keyboardists, his participation made me the DeadHead that I am. Talk 'bout way young, 37. Sad. Sometimes the demons win...:(


Jaco Pastorious - another one who couldn't get past his demons and yet another that went too young.

Richard Wright - What a gentleman, he shined on that last Gilmour tour.

Danny Federici - another gentleman.

Clarence Clemons - ditto.
Dee Murray & Bob Birch (of the Elton John Band)
Michael Hossock
Duck Dunn
Mark Craney
Ben Orr
Howie Epstein
Norton Buffalo
John Entwhisle
Warren Zevon
Ian Dury
Cozy Powell
Vince Welnick
John Glascock
Keith Knudsen
&
Michael Dunford - and though there is no living emotion in death per se, this one hurts the worst personally, especially after the totally triumphant presentation of Novella and the new stuff. The 2nd coming of Renaissance only to screetch to a totally unexpected halt. May they all RIP...

And, wow, my list went from the original three that I posted on to nearly twenty-five after a multitude of editing after looking at other posts/lists. How the heck am I still alive? God is good, God is great.

Peace,
Alex

[nsmith1002]

D. Boon (Minutemen) 12 days before his death. Being in the pre-internet days, I did not find out about it until 3 months later.

An old music quote seems to apply here, "What you lack in quality, compensate for with volume":p;):D

[meimjustalawnmower]

An old music quote seems to apply here, "What you lack in quality, compensate for with volume":p;):D
Dude, you can't say that there's no quality on that list! That there is a who's who of dead folks. Don't get snobby just because you saw Hendrix. ;):p

BTW, there's prolly more. I'll edit as they come to mind.

[progeezer]

Snobby? :lol Yeah, that's me.

I've forgotten a shitload myself, Tom.

[meimjustalawnmower]

I've forgotten a shitload myself, Tom.

Hey, your list is already proof that size doesn't matter. I'd hate to see what you forgot. :) :O

I grew up attending concerts when you were probably busy raising a family. The thing that I felt most daunting as I was compiling my list is that the deceased are starting to outnumber the living.

I wouldn't if I were you - you need to remember that Geezer's three centuries older than the rest of us to have seen that lot!! ;)

I may have seen Morris Pert if he was with Brand X on tour in the 70's.

[bob_32_116]

John Denver.

Carl and Dennis Wilson, with the Beach Boys.

I can't think of anyone else I've seen who has later carked it, at least not anyone who was the main attraction. I believe at least one member of Elton John's original band (Dee Murray) has passed on, and I've seen Elton in concert several times so I probably heard Murray play at least three times.

I must add Chris Squire because someone mentioned the omission on a following post. Good lord! I completely forgot!

[bob_32_116]

A progressive music forum, and no one has yet mentioned Chris Squire. Amazing.

[progeezer]

A progressive music forum, and no one has yet mentioned Chris Squire. Amazing.

:doh True dat!

I forgot Frank (both MOI & post-MOI), Lonesome Dave P (who I spent an afternoon toking and fishing with along with Roger Earl when Savoy Brown played in Maine in 1970), Dizzy Gillespie & James Moody together & Michael Dunford.

I suspect there'd be more if I went back & read from post #1. Nah.

[bob_32_116]

^^ the list of people that progeezer has played with is larger than the list of people I have even seen. :(

[The Dark Elf]

A progressive music forum, and no one has yet mentioned Chris Squire. Amazing.

Seeing how many times I've seen Yes, I am at a loss as to how I forgot Squire. I will have to blame it on -- :beer

Hmmm, that may have something to do with it.

[progeezer]

Chronology, happenstance & where I lived (NYC/LA/SF) until I came here to Madtown in 1971 are responsible for all those names.

[Vic2012]

Jon Lord. RIP. Saw him with Deep Purple in 2001.

[Garden Dreamer]

Freddie Mercury and Phil Lynott... at the same show!!!

Also Chris Squire, Terry Kath and Charlie Tumahai (bassist for Be Bop Deluxe)

EDIT: and Buddy Rich! A free noontime show at Roosevelt Field Mall indoors after playing Atlantic City the night before.

[GuitarGeek]

A progressive music forum, and no one has yet mentioned Chris Squire. Amazing.

Well, Chris was very much with us with this thread originally appeared 3 years ago. But yeah, I saw him a bunch of times.

And of course Daevid Allen, I saw him play solo a couple times and several times with Gong (and of course there was the Gong Family Unconvention back in 2006)

There's also Ronnie James Dio, who I saw play with Dio (on the same bill as Scorpions and Deep Purple) back in 2002, and then again with Heaven And Hell just a few short months before he passed.

And I know there's Banco Del Muteo Succorso's singer, who passed away last year, I think. Saw them twice at NEARfest. DIdn't someone from PFM (who I also saw at NEARfest) also recently pass away just recently too?

English folk guitar legend John Renbourn also passed away recently, I saw him play with Jacki McShee at a nice little jazz club down the street from my house.

Banco- at Nearfest- The lead singer died a year and a half ago or so.

There are a few other performers who I have seen at Nearfest that are no longer with us including the keyboardist from DFA and the female lead singer from the Par Lindh Project but I don't remember their names.


I think that's about it.

Me neither. I saw Ten Years After open for Steppenwolf. I'd never heard of them at the time (this was before Woodstock), but they blew Steppenwolf off the stage!

A lot of jazz players have passed away in the last couple of years. I'd need a list to update my original post from three years ago, but one who springs to mind is Jim Hall. I saw him twice, once in a duo with Red Mitchell and the other time with a quartet. Brilliant, tasty guitar player he was!

[Garden Dreamer]

Leslie Weinstein (nee West)is still alive. There are some here who could tell you how I would know that for sure, but I've told the story too often already. Just know that he was a drunken scumbag when he tried to hit on my then-wife with me sitting there. His bandmates in the pre-fame days Vagrants yanked him away thankfully. Now he looks just like me, another old Jewish guy, and it looks like he's lost the weight of a small town, so mazeltov, Leslie, you prick!:D
