I saw Delaney and Bonnie at the first Atlanta International Pop festival in 1969.

My list just got longer because I forgot to include John Bonham the drummer for Led Zeppelin.

Damn, if I listed all of the great musicians I've seen perform who are still alive my list would be a lot longer.

Yea, but for how long? He’s looked like the crypt keeper for like 30 years.

I saw Merle Haggard, Ray Price and Willie Nelson on the same night at Chastain Park in Atlanta in 2006. Several years before Price or Haggard passed. It was a helluva show in one of my favorite venues. Saw Willie Nelson there just a few weeks ago....and that was a helluva show as well...

Anyone on the forum see Jim Croce?


A buddy of mine was at his last concert, he was killed in a plane crash a short time after.

I did get to see his son up in Woodstock, Ga. A few years back. He did a few of his Dads songs.
