About LinkBacksI work at the concert arena in Manchester (MEN arena) on the bars. On the weekend there was an Elvis Presley concert (I'm still not entirely sure how that works as we don't get to see the show, just serve the customers on the concourse).
Anyway, it got me thinking about which music artists that are dead would I want to travel back in time to see perform live.
There were three in particular and I couldn't narrow it down any further (sorry but Elvis Presley's not one of them)
Anyway, the question then is: What three dead musicians would you most want to travel back in time to see perform live?
My three are Jimi Hendrix, Freddie Mercury and James Brown.
What are your three?

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

I saw Dury & The Music Students probably in the 80s at my local venue, and saw John Martyn a couple of times. The Dury show ranks very highly in my league table of live gigs... Originally Posted by Leftfield Shoegazer
