I was supposed to see ZZ Top at one point but they canceled the show I was supposed to go to and moved it up in time.
Like njtt, I’ve seen them (Hot Tuna) too, which I suppose means I’ve seen all of Jefferson Airplane except Grace Slick!
Don’t think that really counts, though!
I forgot to mention Hot Tuna! I saw them twice, including Jorma’s 70th birthday bash- which featured another Hall of Famer, Bob Weir.
Buddy Guy and U2. Such a limited life.
Well, at least I put mine in a separate list- it was more a P.S. than anything.
Not that many. In Texas: The Rolling Stones and ZZ Top. In Bangkok: Roger Waters and Elton John, and of course Waters had been inducted only as part of Pink Floyd.
