In terms of dead artists, obviously Beatles, Zep, Brian Jones era Stones, Bon Scott era AC/DC,  The Who, and a host of others.  Crowded House with the Woodface lineup.

But if we exclude necromancy and medical miracles (ie the health issues keeping artists such as Phil Collins and Linda Ronstadt out of the game aren’t going away), then who?

I wouldn’t complain about a Jason Bonham powered Led Zeppelin reunion.

I’m sad I missed the AWR tour because from the clips I’ve seen they work well together.

This probably doesn’t count, but I’d like to see a 7 Worlds Collides tour.  For those who don’t know that was a charity project hosted by Neil Finn which also included his brother and son, various members of Wilco and Radiohead, Johnny Marr, KT Tunstall, Dan Wilson, Bic Runga, and a few others I can’t remember.  It would be fun to see them all on stage doing an All Starr Band thing.

 

 

Let’s see, out of your list, I’ve seen Crowded House on the Woodface, 7 Worlds Collide tours, as well as other Crowded House, Neil Finn, and the Finn Brothers on other tours. Did I share how I saved Neil Finn’s life? True story (okay, I say it that way for a laugh, but I did stop him from being hit by a car going around 35-40 MPH) and he did say thanks. It was in the mid 90s when my girlfriend (who later became and remains my wife) and I were on a date to see Neil in concert.

I’ve seen Dan Wilson with Semisonic back in the 90s and had a several minute conversation about songwriting. I saw Wilco back before they got big (we were playing some of the same venues back in the early 90s). I saw The Who with Simon Phillips on drums back in 1989. I never got to see Zeppelin, but saw Robert Plant with Phil Collins on drums. I’ve seen Paul McCartney back around 1990 with Chris Whitten on drums and conversed with Chris several times (also, conversed with and was connected with Beatles mixer and David Bowie producer Ken Scott — I saw Bowie in concert back in the 80s, although you didn’t mention him — I’m guessing with so many bands that you and I have in concert that you probably enjoy Bowie’s music too).
