Bob Lamb Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Alright - it's the dead of football season and even I'm getting bored - I just purchased a two disc set (not available on 8-track) of Harry Chapin performing at the Bottom Line in Januray, 1981 - six months before he died in an auto accident on the LIE. I know all the songs by heart and still own every album - but thought the "live" recording might be different and the Bottom Line was certainly a special place. It was fine - but that made me think - with so many music fans here - what one artist (deceased) would you pay good money for to see one more time ? I would have to include lead singers for notable groups - not that I know any. If Harry Chapin was appearing at Melody Fair in N.T tommorrow - I'd be there - who needs A/C ?

From recent years, I miss the Ramones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webtoe Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 JERRY GARCIA LZ w/ John Bonham Hendrix The Beatles I might even want to see Presley or Sinatra in their prime. Joplin and Morrison would be on the list if I could back in time and see the concert when I was 15 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I ever opened the thread, I looked at the title and immediately thought "Harry Chapin." I saw him in Rochester when I was in college in 81, and about two years ago found the Bottom Line live album. Like you said, it was fine, but it would be tough in any event to recreate Greatest Stories Live. Still, I remember listening to that double set thinking to myself, "How great to get a chance to hear another Chapin concert all these years later.
