    They still had a lot of years ahead of them in music. Such a shame.

    Another musician I miss the most is George Harrison. I remember the day he passed away and I cried that morning. Such a loving man and basically said the same thing in my explanation of John.

    I didn't get choked up when George died, though I was pretty bummed about it. But I did get choked up during the Concert For George. I don't think it fully hit me until then. Seeing all those musicians playing his songs, with that giant picture of him in the background, and Dhani on stage looking so much like George, sort of brought it all back home. Even though it was a year to the day after he died, I think that's when I realized he was actually gone and it was very sad.
    That concert killed me as well. I really started to cry during "Something." I still get choked up when I listen to the concert.

    First name that popped into my mind was Shannon Hoon. I really liked the direction they went with "Soup". A shame we weren't able to see them develop any further.

    True, that is an incredibly impressive list to have seen them all live. Sun Ra even, that must've been quite a trip!

    I guess it almost goes without saying for a Who fan that I miss Keith and John. I'm fortunate (and old enough) to have seen the band with its original members. I also got to see Jimi live and music lost a special kind of genius when we lost him.

    Others I miss:

    John Lennon
    George Harrison
    Ronnie Lane
    Steve Marriott
    Bob Marley
    Brian Jones
    Jim Capaldi
    Janis Joplin
    Jim Morrison
    Stevie Ray Vaughn
    Bugs Henderson

    And the one nobody ever seems to remember: Randy California. I was a big Spirit fan in my teens and got to see them as a trio in the 80s. Even though he wasn't making music anymore, that dude was talented enough to be in a band with Hendrix when he was just 15. Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus is one of the best albums of the 70s.
