I read it to be not just for one concert, but for a significant period of time. Which brings up a good point...like what would be the point of bringing back Jerry if he was just going to have a heart attack or OD the next day or week ? But let's set that aside and assume they would be around for a significant period of time.
love the Strummer idea, maybe John Bonham for a Zeppelin reunion, but to throw another name out there I'll say Kurt Cobain.
I wasn't a big Nirvana fan, but he was so young and just starting to peak.
I was just debating the Bonzo pick on FB. My response was "Really ? You're going to waste the pick on a drummer ? I would take Moon then, for entertainment value."
Yes...I thought of that one and a similar joke about "Bob Dylan before he went electric" but he's been too great (other than as a live vocal performer at times) then and since, so the joke would have worked a lot less.
Jim Croce. I think he would have been a superstar had he lived beyond 1973... Croce is one of those almost forgotten musicians from the 70's that went off stage much too quickly.
Syd is a poor choice because he was fried and lived for decades without any contributions. Why would he have anything to add now, given his mental state ?

Moon would be awesome too and I named Bonham simply for a Zeppelin reunion, but they have to be in their 70's or close to it which brings up the wrinkle in this plan, some of these people would be really old if they weren't dead.
I would probably pick John Lennon, but only because I would have liked to see a Lennon/McCartney reunion. We would have needed to bring back two to have a Beatles reunion.
This is probably the best pick to benefit the most of mankind. I chose to be more selfish. If I had a while to consider and research it more, I would likely agree.
inevitable post.
Great choice I did not consider and that has not seen on the FB choices yet.

Damn you!

I considered Harrison seriously. I thought of Buddy Holly as well, but did not seriously consider.

Fantastic choice. I give a lot more weight to songwriters than players.

Love the Buckley pick and considered it very seriously. Can you imagine the songs that might have come ?
For the same reason, I seriously considered Elliott Smith.
I think I stand by it though, but definitely in the other scenario, he was only 24.

Not if would deny us listening to David Gilmour
Great f-ing choice I am ashamed to not have considered !
I can respect that choice.

I thought Morrison was still alive ? (grin)
Yep. Hadn't even hit his prime yet.
Zappa is a great pick and shows you know your shit.

A back up sax player in a rock band ? Try harder !
So many died so young....
