a few years ago, he's pretty good. But Zappa would have been amazing to see. Such an underated Guitar Player, and one of my top individual personalities in all of music. Talk about someone ahead of their time, love watching old interviews of him, especially against the FCC.

That would be Dweezil and his Zappa plays Zappa tour, great show but it's not Frank, on Halloween, in the Palladium. My first concert was Frank Zappa in the RPI field house in 1977. I was spoiled for life.
I also would have considered Hendrix. As someone else said, there's way too many great, talented musicians that died too young! I think the same can be said about comedians too! (John Belushi, etc)
no doubt...my first thought was Jimi but I was and am a big Harry Chapin fan...and of that kind of music...
Allow me to suggest Steve Goodman, under appreciated, never made it big ( he used to open for Steve Martin) but I respect him as I respect Zevon as a clever and witty songwriter and performer. Died much too young.
What he did while he was alive was absolutely fantastic. I can't begin to imagine what he could have done had he lived a long life. Marley was such a political force, his music was a call to revolution. He was the whole package.
Close behind Marley would be Hendrix. He just died too young and he was an amazing talent. One wonders what would have become of Joplin. I often think that Janis is the only woman who ever really sang true rock-n-roll. Tough to see her as an old bird rocking it out on stage.
I love Jerry - I will always listen to and love his music. He lived a long life, he played and recorded a lot of music. I miss him like he was an old and dear friend.
Well, since David Bowie is already picked and dead,
He was just so far ahead of everyone else. Arguably, rocks greatest guitarist ( along with Jimi and Peter Greene).
Ha same except other way around
I'd say Bon Scott but AC/DC didn't seem to miss a beat.

Sadly there are far too many that fit the category.

What can I say? I'm lazy.
Great choice kiddo, knowing I'll never see him perform "Watermelon in Easter Hay" live again makes me a poorer man.
There are several I'd bring back before Harry but I like the pick. Would also consider Jim Croce along the story teller train of thought.
Are we considering Keith Richards dead?

And Ozzy
That is a potato chip question though ... can't be just 1.
Anyway, I'll second Bon Scott.

Great f-ing choice I am ashamed to not have considered !
Didn't even think of Duane .... EXCELLENT CHOICE.
The truth is out there. From what I read, she died of a heart attack. There was a ham sandwich on a bedside table, but it hadn't been eaten.
If not, Hendrix
In all seriousness, depending on the situation. To experience a concert or go back in time?
Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek
John Lennon and George Harrison
Frank Sinatra.
A lot of other considerations either did it to themselves, were monsters (Brian Jones), or died a little later in life (Bolan, Lennon).
Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix (even John Lennon) - the world lost a lot of good productive years and was rob of potentially GREAT music.

The musician you offer up has to be of equal fame to musician you are saving.
And Go!
And give you David Bowie

I'll save John Bonham and send Phil Collins to Jesus ( he knows him)
