Stevie Ray Vaughan Tom Petty Jerry Garcia Paul Butterfield Alvin Lee Eddie Van Halen Tom and Toy Caldwell Charlie Daniels David Bowie Larry Coryell Freddie Hubbard Gregg Allman Butch trucks others, kinda a morbid thread NTTAWT
This thread feeds into the recent passing of Leslie West and suddenly I realized that of the major acts who I saw at this concert, Johnny Winter, Leslie West, Felix Pappalardi and Frank Zappa have all passed (and perhaps even other band members, I don't really know). I am old.
Lester Bowie David Bowie Sun Ra Alex Chilton Dieter Mobius Oscar Brown, Jr. Lux Interior Joe Strummer (fronting The Pogues) John McGeoch GG Allin Grant Hart There's probably more but whew, Happy New Year.

John Entwistle Lemmy Rick Parfitt (Status Quo) Rob Collins (The Charlatans) James Broad (Silver Sun) Keith Flint (The Prodigy) Michael Lee (great Plant & Page drummer) Joe Strummer Arthur Lee Toots Hibbert Gregory Isaacs Chris Acland (Lush)
I'll probably miss a few: Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, Berry Oakley - Allman Brothers Ronnie Lane - Faces Larry Taylor, Sugarcane Harris - John Mayall's Bluesbreakers Albert King B. B. King Freddie King Carl Radle - Derek and the Dominoes Clarence White - The Byrds Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee Doc and Merle Watson Dave Brubeck Glen Cornick - Jethro Tull Jon Lord - Deep Purple Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell - The Jimi Hendrix Experience Andy Fraser - Free Leslie West, Felix Pappalardi, Steve Knight - Mountain Alvin Lee - Ten Years After Johnny Winter Billy Preston - Eric Clapton's Band, 2006. Clarence Clemons, Danny Federici - E Street Band
Eddie Van Halen Freddie Mercury John Bonham John Entwistle Keith Moon Keith Emerson Lynyrd Skynyrd Cub Koda - Brownsville Station John Panozzo - Styx JC Curulewski - Styx Jerry Garcia Bob Mayo (Peter Frampton's band) Chris Squire I left out the names on the obvious dead members band names
COVID victims: John Prine (saw him in summer 2019 ), Ellis Marsalis Others: Ornette Coleman Cecil Taylor Miles Davis Jerry Garcia Johnny Winter Gregg Allman Butch Trucks Allen Woody Chris Acland Vince Welnick Dmitri Hvorostovsky (I was in the chorus once of a concert opera performance where he sang) Armando Peraza Larry Coryell Lyle Mays Clark Terry Billy Higgins There are more but that's enough for now.
I saw Rodford with the Kinks - Ian Gibbons, too. I left off musicians who weren't "primary members" of a band - folks like Bobby Keys as well...
Anyone (like me) who saw Motorhead on their Bomber tour (or earlier) can reflect on the sad fact that not one of the three great musicians on that stage is still with us. I’m not proud of that.

Tom Petty Eddie Van Halen Chuck Berry Jon Lord Ronnie James Dio Magic Slim (I'm sure there are more I am not thinking of at the moment.) There are some of you in this thread that I am very jealous of... some missed opportunities.
