Love classic rock! I was born in the 60's, and love all music from the 70's.

 

Queen, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Jefferson Airplane, the Eagles ...

 

All of it!

 

Added. :thumb_yello:

 

I wish I was around in the 70's...man, to have been able to see bands like Led Zeppelin live. *crosses fingers that the Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones reunion tour will happen* :punk:

John Bonham died before I got to see LZ - but I did see Robert Plant in concert several times. I went to so many concerts in the 80's - Boston, Billy Squire, Def Leppard, Yes, Peter Gabriel, Rush, Ozzy, The Who, Rolling Stones ... all the big Icons - many more I can't even remember now.

 

I missed seeing Queen - that breaks my heart. Freddy died when I was in my early 20's. He was so secret about his illness, no one knew we were running out of time to see him.

and when Queen + Paul Rodgers toured the US, i completely missed out.

I like Paul Rodgers, but no one could take Freddy's place in Queen, for me anyway. I saw the tribute (not live), and I liked it, but no one can do his songs right for me.

 

It would be like Led Zeppelin touring with a singer other then Robert Plant ... it just doesn't work for me.

I know. I'll probably buy the new Q + PR album thats due out sometime in the near future, but its just not the same. I think its sort of like the new Van Halen tour which I see as a joke...Eddie's kid on bass? :blink::thumbdown:

Well, David Lee Roth always was VAN HALEN to me, for sure. But ... it's been a loooonnnngggg time since he was in his prime. I just don't see him having that staying power of Steve Tyler or Mick Jagger. I won't be buying tickets to a Van Halen Reunion show ... even though I was a fan way back when.

I've added you to the list. So what's your favorite classic rock band/artist? :biggrin2:

 

Hmmm....just one? Like half the list on the first page! :naughty: I guess Queen would be up there and Elton John...and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and Billy Joel, and Bon Jovi, and Eric Clapton, and AC/DC, and The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones, and Genesis, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix. Not necessarily in that order. :D Aren't you glad you asked? I basically just relisted everything on the first page. :)

I've added Phish to the artist list, and Phunkygal to the member list. :thumb_yello:

 

So which classic rock artists has everyone seen live? I plan on seeing Queen + Paul Rodgers the next time they tour, and Whitesnake as well, but I haven't had the experience of seeing any of the others on the list.

I've seen Marillion a few times. But actually that doesn't count - it was the 'new' Marillion. I keep calling them 'the new Marillion' although Steve Hogarth became the lead singer in 1989 already. That was the year I discovered the 'old' Marillion with Fish as their lead singer (I mean - I found out that there was more than just Kayleigh) but they split up in 1988. I wish I could turn back time to attend the Clutching at Straws tour in 1988... (well I was only 14 then, but still).

 

Since 1992 I've been to a few Fish gigs. The last time was last year. He did one performance in Holland in spring - on his birthday, in the place where I grew up, a little town in the east of Holland with a cool (quite intimate) venue. I will see him again in October in Groningen. Fish is still my #1 performer - the man who was born with a heart of Lothian. :wink2:

 

Oh, what about Bryan Adams? He started his career in the 80s, I saw him back in eh... 1990 or so.
