If it can include artists who have died well my ideal concert would be

opening act - Jimi Hendrix

followed by

David Bowie Ziggy era with the Spiders

then

Sex Pistols classic 76 line up

the Slade

and finally

The Beatles to end things, that would be the Beatles circa 68 not 64

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band in the 70's could have seen them as they played local several times but only listened to Soul,

tremendous value for money!

Free late 60's

Curtis Mayfield anytime

Marvin Gaye 70's

Then a blues concert

Sonny Boy Williamson,B.B.King,John Lee Hooker,Buddy Guy etc.

Bessie Smith and Dinah Washington

saw them in 1974 at southampton , bloody awesome

I saw them in Wolverhampton in 73 - I think they were awesome because when I said I "saw" them, I couldn't see a thing, everyone stood on their seats. Still remember how disappointed I felt.

Sorry it was 72 not 73.

The Dells gig was at Trentham Gardens (Stoke) .... I know coz I was there.

The group were OK , well better than OK , well better even than that really.

In fact they were bl**dy fantastic, think I had a tear in my eye for most of their performance.

luckily, we were in front row of the circle so saw everything, if i'd been down in the stalls i dont think i would have stood a chance, i was only 11 at the time,

As we seem to have strayed off soul acts & onto shows we actually were at .......

With a few mates from Dony, I caught the (3am) train down to London on Sunday 7th May 1967 ....

... we spent the day searching out records on Petticoat Lane & in the west end before heading off to the Saville Theatre to see Garnett Mimms.

Garnett put on a great show but we were far less impressed by the 'top of the bill'; a US guitar player called Jimi Hendrix (in fact we left just before he finished his act).

Also In the audience for the show that Sunday at the Saville Theatre, it later turned out, were Brian Jones, Ringo Starr, the Moody Blues, the Beach Boys, David Bowie (+ his mates Dek Fearnley, John Eager and all their girlfriends). Among the support acts were David Bowie's friends 1-2-3 and Denny Laine's Electric String Band (can't say I even recall them at all, so they can't have been too good in soul terms).

The Dells for me,to hear one of my all time vocalists : Marvin Junior.

Gutted i missed the late 80`s gig they did at Blackpool.Heard it was awesome and one of them`you had to have been there` moments.

Wayne it was 1999 - you're 10 years out as well as in the wrong town - you must get north of Watford more often !. Mike

I'd just like to add Barry Gray sound as warm up doing all the classics like theme from U.F.O ect.

Saw Marvin Gaye at Bradford shortly before he died! Did the duet to a backing screen..Amazing! Al Green + Margie Joseph & Oscar Toney Jnr at the Hardrock early 70's were good...the Temps with Dennis Edwards(with Funk Bros backing I think!) were great but would have loved to see the 1965 version as others have said..they would be my dream live act..

Saw Sam & Dave at Sheffield City Hall around 1968 (their 1st UK visit after the Stax / Volt tour).... they were more than great !!

I saw em @ Sheffield Fiesta in 1972 and that's the best live gig I've ever seen. They were incredible......they must have liked Sheffield!

Sam & Dave and Jackie Wilson for me as well. Stevie Wonder in the early days.

Something like Iggy & Stooges at the time would've been mad, Beatles 67/68, Fela Kuti and Jacques Dutronc. I suppose seeing Hendrix for the first time just as he was getting big would've been an experience (sorry!)

I saw Sam & Dave in the 60's ... awesome ...

I also saw Hendrix twice in the 60's ... wandered off 'bored' after he had sung "Hey Joe" (good) & then a couple of totally soul-less tunes during the 1st show .... walked out of the 2nd show after he commenced his live highlight (playing his guitar between his legs as though it was his member & then setting fire to the damn thing -- the guitar that is .... yawn zzzzzzzzzz).
