What artists would you do anything to see if you could?

[crofty1984]

You know what I mean, if the band reformed/resurrected, you'd sell your gran to see them.

Eras are allowed too if the band are still going.

For me:
Led Zeppelin
Queen (with Freddie, obviously)
Slade
Stereophonics just as they released their second albumn. I was going to buy tickets, but my snobby 16 YO self didn't want to go if it was seating only left. Mock all you want. Word Gets Around (1st album) was brilliant.
Megadeth Rust in Peace/Countdown to Extinction lineup. But they could play stuff from some of the more recent albums like 13 and World Needs a Hero. NOT RISK. No Dave, bad Dave!
Appetite lineup of GnR
Manic Street Preachers Generation Terrorists era.

[HAZZAGTR]

Pink Floyd
Hendrix
Thin White Duke era Bowie
Television at CBGBs
Boy,Joshua Tree, and Zoo Tv era U2
Radiohead
Depeche Mode
A reunion with The Smiths would be fantastic
as well as loads more...

I could combine Crofty & Hazzer...

..I saw Slade, supported by U2

[realjv]

REM circa Document
The Beatles
LCD Soundsystem - saw them once, such a shame they've called it a day.

[jontymo]

Rolling Stones (seen years ago)
Queen
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Dire Straits
The Police
ACDC

[kiteless]

Led Zep
Dave Brubeck
Deep Purple
Pink Floyd
Big Brother & The Holding Company
Cream
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Fleetwood Mac (the Peter Green line-up)
Miles Davis

That'll do for now.

[Fantuzzi]

Rainbow Dio era, Rising tour.

Dio campbell era.

Ozzy Rhoads era.

Jason Becker playing Perpeptual burn album -stunning.

[CrabDan]

I'd do quite alot for a private audience with Niki Minaj.

Other than that...

Meh.

[Wacky Racer]

The original Barclay James Harvest with John Lees, Les Holroyd, Mel Pritchard and "Woolly" Wolstenholme.

Another vote for Queen with Freddy, and I wouldnt mind seeing Steve Earle in the guitar town/copperhead road era before he degenerated into drugs/looking like a tramp.

I'd also love to have seen Bon Jovi in their heyday of big hair, high pitched vocals, epic guitar solos and 80s leathery spandex fashion

Elvis.

[InertialTooth45]

For the last 3 years it's been the killers. But I saw them last week so I'm all good now.

Queen would be up there with Freddie, I saw the reunion tour about 4 years ago but I'm sure it was nothing compared to the real thing.

Saw Queens last gig at Knebworth, excellent. Saw Steve Earle on the tour after Copperhead Road was released, disappointing.

To answer the OP; Free, and Bon Scott AC/DC.
