re: What musicians were you lucky enough to see in concert before they passed away

A lot of people listed BB King. I was at a blues bar in Red Bank, NJ one night when they locked the doors... BB King came out and played The thrill is gone. I was young (so I knew he looked familiar but wasnt exactly mature enough to identify him on the spot). I was prob 10 feet away and.. Just the way he presented/performed was unbelievable. He was doing something at the Count Basie Theater nearby and its something I'll never forget

Freshman year. A few weeks after classes started, one kid in the dorm’s dad showed up unannounced and told his son “BB King is playing at Drake Field, I have six tickets so grab four people and let’s go”
Nobody really knew each other yet, so he just walked down the hall and picked four of us. Kenny Wayne Shepherd opened.

Where did you see Hendrix?

I saw Jimi at Woodstock. I was sleeping in my car that was parked next to the lake which was behind the stage. I woke up to Jimi playing so I ran over to the stage and watched the rest of his performance.
I also saw Jimi perform at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium on August 17, 1968.

Dave Mason, a few years ago.
I was an amateur Mason fan before that show. He was a master guitarist and still had the skills.

Still alive but Eric Clapton.
2021-22??
Man has to be on 8.5 lives. He did everything the 60’s and 70’s had to offer. Throw in some 80’s.
