Cool!!! First classical composers I’d start with Beethoven but you listed some great ones. I started listening to classical in my early 20s and I was surprised at how much I knew thanks to Looney Tunes.
Great list. Ever since 07 I’ve heard they were going to do a Marvin Gaye biopic but nothing yet. You hear his National Anthem from the nba all star game in 83? Love his music. Floyd and Rush as well. Need to check out the church and Bauhaus
I still watch their farewell concert from the 90s at times and think of how fucking rad that show looked. Danny Elfman has really been pigeon holed as the "ha ha funny Tim Burton music man" since going full composer, but he used to make all sorts of wild music to hit almost every mood I can have.
I'd also really like the chance to see Drowning Pool before Dave Williams died, that very short window. He made the only album of theirs even worth thinking about and I do think his loss is a tragedy for that genre.
Oddly enough, a lot of my favorite bands are from being at their concerts. Sometimes I didn't even know they existed till I was at the concert. Others, hell yeah, and it was awesome.
I've seen security grab and drag a guy for punching a ticket agent during a 3 Doors Down concert. I found out Power Wolf is mostly grandparents now, because that's what they talked about back stage. There was a band in Yakima Washington that is still my favorite and I have their only album. No, I don't remember their name. So, it's actually kind of hard.
Michael Jackson
Bloodywood
Windrose
MC Hammer
Nightwish the first 5 years
I can also do comedians
Mitch Hedberg
Robin Williams -he appeared near where I lived once, and I didn't get tickets, and then he committed suicide.
The Beatles,
Tom Petty,
The Traveling Wilburys (Notice a theme here?),
dc Talk (Even if Kevin Max lost his doggone mind),
Credence Clearwater Revival (The one and only CCR)
Kevin Max lost it, I don’t know what happened to him, but he’s now all pro abortion, promotes lgbtwtfbbq, commie, and believes in the “universal christ” whatever that is. A bunch of new agey heretical nonsense.
And apparently there’s a lot of that going on in the Christian music scene. A lot of the bands that were big back in the 90’s and early 00’s are falling into a lot of unbiblical ideas. The other two members of dc Talk, Toby Mac and Kevin Tait both seem to still have it together, but it makes me wonder what’s going on.
Not sure if you’ve heard of Allie Beth Stuckie but she is a Christian podcaster and she was saying that she has seen it over and over where a Christian becomes pro lgbt and that seems to be the gateway out of the church. A few years later they aren’t even claiming Christ. Sucks to hear that about Christian groups. I used to like Lecrea but he the usual “progressive Christian”.
Franz Liszt. J.S. Bach. Agustin Barrios Mangore. Francisco Tarrega. Paganini.

Good choices.
Queen, specifically the Live Aid concert
Beethoven's 9th Symphony, first performance
My first Marilyn Manson concert (Rockstar Mayhem Fest, Atlanta in the mid to late 2000s)
Glenn Miller Orchestra
My Chemical Romance's last Black Parade concert
Nice selections. Glenn Miller was great. Gone too soon
But gone where
To that big band concert in the sky with Louis Armstrong playing trumpet for him
I've thought long and hard about it lol. I tell people that if I ever had a time machine I'd go back and see music performances live.
Rush
Pink Floyd
The Church
Marvin Gaye
Bauhaus
But I am old and I could have watched all of them, I was just poor or very far (Pink Floyd and Gaye excepted)
Great list. Ever since 07 I’ve heard they were going to do a Marvin Gaye biopic but nothing yet. You hear his National Anthem from the nba all star game in 83? Love his music. Floyd and Rush as well. Need to check out the church and Bauhaus
Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Skynyrd, Gato Barbieri, Mason Williams
Cool! I have a greater appreciation for Chopin
Nocturne is one of my favorites
I remember an RPG where you were Chopin in his dream as he was dying
Eternal sonata? I’ll have to add that to my play list
That’s it!
Oingo Boingo.

Rush
Elvis
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
ABBA
Love it! I’d love to hear Tom Sawyer live. Big fan of ABBA as well
Thank you! Yours was a good list too.
Jethro Tull (on tour for Songs From the Wood)
Michael Jackson (Thriller)
Faith No More (King For a Day)
Pink Floyd (The Wall)
Primus (Sailing the Seas of Cheese)
Great choices. I still need to watch The Wall.
See, I want to have seen Grateful Dead's 1973-4 Wall of Sound.
Would’ve been great too
Led Zeppelin about 78
Queen
Elvis pre army
Johnny Cash
Ramones 77
Good list
Mozart Beethoven Bach Benny Goodman Vivaldi
Great list
Static-X (Wayne Static was such a legend)
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Steely Dan (RIP Walter Becker)
Fleetwood Mac
I actually have seen both Static-X and Fleetwood Mac in concert, but that was after both Wayne Static and Christine McVie had passed.
AC/DC

Great list! I still tell Hedberg jokes to this day. Love MC. Hammer. How was the MJ concert?
Sadly, that's a list of people id like to see but haven't.
Ohhh. I misread
Phil Collins Frank Sinatra Hank Williams Van Morrison Bill Withers
Great selections. Have everything by Sinatra and every December first I listen to his Christmas Album. Bill Withers is so underrated. All great picks
Queen
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
KISS
Beethoven
All great choices. On long walks I love listening to Beethoven. Got pretty much everything by all of your list
How has no one said Stevie Ray Vaughan?
He would be on my list if I could include more. Amazing
You added Hendrix to my list, though. Man, that was a good era, in general. Hendrix and SRV were both absolute legends.
SRV was a big fan of Hendrix. In a parallel universe I like to think they made an album together in the 80s
The Beatles, Tom Petty, The Traveling Wilburys (Notice a theme here?), dc Talk (Even if Kevin Max lost his doggone mind), Credence Clearwater Revival (The one and only CCR)
CCR is awesome. Actually got into them thanks to Leadbelly. Great groups all around. What happened with Kevin Mac?
Kevin Max lost it, I don’t know what happened to him, but he’s now all pro abortion, promotes lgbtwtfbbq, commie, and believes in the “universal christ” whatever that is. A bunch of new agey heretical nonsense.

Aaaand it’s come out that Michael Tait has been sexually assaulting other men for decades
