suppose you could borrow mr peabody's wayback machine....

[Gunter]

and you were on a mission to pick a long passed away(or any other) singer/musician to do an "Unplugged" album, who would it be?
i think a barstool,an acoustic guitar and Elvis could be interesting.
Joe Satriani would still be mind blowing....
and of course Hendrix.............

[jeeplvr79]

Stevie Ray Vaughn

x2 on Elvis

[OrangeCrush]

Robert Johnson

Hank Williams Sr. (with his band)

[ttim]

Joe Satriani would still be mind blowing....
............


satriani is dead?

[Gunter]

Stevie Ray Vaughn

x2 on Elvis
yep....the sky is crying kinda did that,but would still be awesome.it is funny,his early stuff on the first album is raw and edgy and unpolished,and his later stuff still has that roughness to it.i love that.

satriani is dead? "long passed away(or any other) singer/musician "

[Waifer2112]

Hands down, as far as the rock genre, would be Frank Zappa.

Just bald. Almost the same thing.

Charlie Patton...read about him if you want...

I'd want to live from 1950's to the 1970's when I was conspired.

Elvis, Lynyrd Skynyrd (original members), Hendrix, Johnny Cash also Ray Charles & Muddy Waters. They ALL would be on the top of the list.

EDIT: Add Jerry Garcia, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Dusty Springfield, Billy Joel (during the booze, Glass Houses & pre albums) & Eric Clapton.

howlin wolf and robert johnson too :thumbsup:

[scottycards]

Jerry Garcia.

I only managed to see 25 live Dead shows. Not nearly enough.

[Leon Phelps]

Jerry Garcia.

X2, he was one of my originals, felt kinda taboo though.

[Gags]

Janice Joplin too.

[Gunter]

willie nelson would be cool.
bob marley too!!

[Gags]

willie nelson would be cool.
bob marley too!!

Hell yeah!

The Doors.

[Leon Phelps]

Hell yeah!

The Doors.

Si..... many covers of Love Her Madly, LOVE that song. :hail:

[scottycards]

I couldn't even begin to imagine how great a Marley show would have been. I have some live recordings, and they give me chills.

My shop teacher in junior high in Boulder saw The Doors perform live at Balch Fieldhouse on the CU campus back in the day. How's that for cool?

[Gags]

Notorious B.I.G.

[Leon Phelps]

Tupac

redemption song with acoustic................:thumbsup:

Old Pirates...........

[Gags]

John Bonham (Led Zepplin) as drummer
Dimebag Darrell (Pantera) as guitarist on a 12 string
John Lennon (Beatles/Solo) as singer

That could be very cool.

[ni0h]

Go back to 1968 and save Roger Keith Barrett - get him away from the hallucinogens before they "tattered his brain all the way". Give Hendrix my seat for the ride back. Hrmm... what would happen if Hendrix and Eric Tessmer were to exist at the same time?

[rondog]

I can't believe there's other Zappa fans here!

[CLYDE]

Janice, Jimi, Frank, and SRV.

[Cresso]

Lotta good names mentioned. I'm a sucker for good piano, no matter what the genre, so I'd probably pick someone like Rachmaninoff or Chopin. If I didn't have to pick just one, maybe expand to more recent pianists like Eubie Blake or Ruben Gonzalez.

[Yota]

If I could bring 'em back...

Jelly Roll Morton
Robert Johnson
Muddy Waters
Stevie Ray
John Lee Hooker
R.L. Burnside
lots of others

:hail: :hail: :hail:

That'd just be the balls.

[sames]

Janice Joplin too.
