Old timers who are still touring & worth seeing

For the most part, jazz music just gets better as the musicians accumulate professional and life experience. These musicians are still levetating the band stand:

Wayne Shorter
Randy Weston
Charles Lloyd
Sonny Rollins
Kenny Barron
Roy Haynes


McCoy Tyner is not at his peak, but still enjoyable, and of the greatest ever.

 

The lead singer of The Residents 'hypes' the tour, and give dates!:

 

It's the time of the season for................viagra.

 

The Damned!

 

I would love to see them again, though since it was 30 years ago, I doubt it's the same people--?

 

David Gilmour
David Crosby
King Crimson (mostly newer members though)
Neil Young
Rolling Stones
AC/DC
Black Sabbath

 

Judging by 'Randy's' voice... you KNOW he's the original!

 

Felix Cavaliere's Rascals........... seen them last night at Louisville's Abbey Road On The River Beatles Fest and they were really good. I didn't get a chance to see any of the recent reunion shows but I thought the show laast night was wonderful. The Zombies played the night before and I couldn't believe how great they sounded.

 

Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen
David Bromberg
Jorma Kaukonen/Hot Tuna
John Hammond

 

5 of the 7 have been in some previous iteration of KC.

 

Sonny Rollins hasn't played a gig in well over a year and it's doubtful he'll ever play again

 

Dolly Parton.

 

Not sure where the thread is, but she was busted on this forum for lip-syncing.

 

Oh, that is too bad. he is 85 now, and played into his early 80's. I last saw Sonny about 10 years ago and he was playing amazingly in his mid 70's.

 

Elton Hercules John. Was at his show in 2003 in Kremlin - it was just him and piano. It was a nice show, but on May 28 2016 in St. Petersburg he was with his band and it was fantastic. They played as if it's 1972, not 2016. Many songs from early albums, Elton was in a great voice - the only thing he couldn't afford - his old days falcetto, but the percussion man did it well. They rocked a lot and had a lot of fun - Elton was more rock n roller than posh pop-star, and Nigel Olsson with Davey Johnstone were absolutely insane.
3 hours of pure magic!

 

I'd say all the once in a lifetime legends. From Paul Simon to Paul McCartney.

 

I haven't got the money to see many concerts but I did see McCartney in the summer of 2014 and it was an amazing show. IIRC that was the first show he did after recovering from the illness he contracted in Japan. Incredible show.

 

As others have mentioned, the Zombies sound incredible and are well worth seeing.

 

Saw McCartney the other night in Düsseldorf. Had to take a taxi from Cologne to catch the show, so it was quite an expense for me. It was still entertaining but his voice was very weak. It seemed he was having trouble just talking so it was quite a feat that he did a full show. I really do think he need to adjust his setlist to put far less strain on his voice.

 

Billy Joel
KISS
Scorpions
Eric Clapton
Doobie Brothers

 

Dolly Parton's been busted for decades.

 

Arlo Guthrie !

 

Richard Thompson

Neil Young
David Gilmour
Keith Jarrett
Chick Corea

 

I don't think Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers were mentioned. Also, Jackson Browne.
