Saw Nico at the 100Club in Oxford Street the night before She passed away.Lovely haunting Voice.0
-
Saw Joy Division in 1980 with a mate & his older brother, and thought they were the worst band I'd ever seen! I was very young...0
-
The great Otis Redding on the Stax-Volt tour, Finsbury Park Astoria in 1967. He died later the same year in an air crash.
Still have the programme and ticket.

Gil Scott Heron - A truly legendary man, firstly as being one of the grandfathers of rap also as being an incredible advocate for Black Rights and also being a legendary energetic performer and musician.His shows oozed with his warmth commitment and anger. if you google his name and the word legendary I'm sure you will find links.John Martyn - probably up there in the top 10 folk/rock singer songwriters of the 20 century.A real treat to see him when he was young and green, middle-aged and bitter, and old, very ill but loving his music again.Bert Jansch again probably in the top ten of guitarists favourite guitarists, I would describe him as being legendary as would guitarists like Jimmy Page, Pat Methany, and Richard Thompson but obviously posters on here know better.Kate Mcgarrigle had a whole week of shows dedicated to her at the Queen Elizabeth hall in the south bank in honour to her beautiful contribution to folk music after she died, again google her name and tribute.when i saw the title of this thread, i enjoyed looking back of watching some incredible legendary musicians and what a privilege it was, i did not expect to be criticised for being boring or wanting to appear cool, I'm about the uncoolest person i know and am quite happy to stay that way.0

Off the top of my head Joe Strummer (with the Mescaleros) and John Entwistle (with The Who, obviously). In fact Strummer was supporting The Who when I saw them. Oh, and Rick Danko of The Band.

ooohhh Miles Davis and Roland Kirk0 -
Actually I find myself agreeing with Chirpy in this instance...........don't worry folks that wont last long. LOL.
Some of the names being mentioned are quite ridiculous, we are talking about true 'top drawer' Heavyweight Rock Legends here........some of the names mentioned I've never even (or barely) heard of!
Nobody has heard of Chirpy outside of the confines of Charlton Life, yet i would say he is a true, bona-fide legend on here for being a huge twit - the definition of legendary depends on which circles you move in. This applies to music, literature, sport and all other walks of life

if something is legendary ,strictly speaking it may not have happened so infact all the above artistes as brilliant as they all are cant strictly be described as legendary as they all definitely existed
time for a bit of CL new year pedantry

Maybe because he was a talentless, junkie murderer.
Hardly the stuff of legends.
