I’ve seen dead people

I might do this as a list on Amazon: people whom I’ve seen perform live who are now (sadly) dead:

  • Kurt Cobain
  • Jeff Buckley
  • Stevie Ray Vaughan
  • Phil Lynott
  • Joey Ramone
  • Johnny Ramone
  • Dee Dee Ramone
  • Freddy Mercury
  • Joe Strummer
  • Elliot Smith
  • Richie Manic (note: may not be dead)
  • Steve Marriott
  • Razzle (the Hanoi Rocks drummer, not the wank mag)
  • Wendy O Williams
  • Johnny Thunders
  • Jam Master Jay
  • Townes Van Zandt
  • Stuart Adamson (Big Country)
  • Steve Clark (Def Leppard)
  • Rob Collins (The Charlatans)
  • Brian Connolly (The Sweet)
  • Ray Charles
  • Layne Staley (Alice in Chains)
  • Jason Thirsk (Pennywise)
  • Will Sin (The Shamen)
  • Jon Lee (Feeder)
  • Chris Acland (Lush)

I’m sure there must be more – if I think of any I’ll add ’em to the list.

  1. Stuart Adamson. Yes. I’ll admit. I paid good money to see Big Country. Twice.

  2. Christ. I saw Big Country twice as well. Reading Festival, 1983, supporting The Stranglers and Knebworth 1986 with Queen. Added to list.
