LIVE MUSIC, A CHECKLIST


On my old website, I made a list of some of the artists I had seen in live performance over the years. More of a memory test than anything. Maybe it says something about my tastes in blues, jazz, rock, folk and "popular" music. Note- I never saw The Beatles or Elvis Presley live (wish I'd been in Tupelo in 1956).

This list does not include "classical" or "contemporary" music.

John Lee Hooker, Howlin´ Wolf, Sleepy John Estes, Muddy Waters, Son House, Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup, Louisiana Red, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Lightnin' Hopkins, Duke Ellington, Johnny Hodges, Cat Anderson, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Smith, Stanley Turrentine, Sonny Rollins, Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan, Oscar Peterson, Jiri Stivin, Original Prague Syncopated Jazz Band, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Tracey Quartet, Cleo Laine and John Dankworth, Chris Barber, Dimos Dimitriadis, Courtney Pine, Julian Joseph, Evan Parker, Beryl Bryden, Jimmy Reed, T-Bone Walker, Eddie Taylor, Curtis Jones, John Henry Barbee, Big Joe Williams, Sonny Boy Williamson, Jimi Hendrix, Junior Wells, Koko Taylor, John Cephas and Phil Wiggins, Snooks Eaglin, Little Walter, B.B.
