Excelent list cd. You and I have similar tastes. I would, however, remove Elton as I'm not a fan.

The Beatles are THE ultimate band without adding any members. Just have to raise a few from the dead! :o

Talking the Blues - Can't be without Robert Johnson

Santana and a lot of other great musicians, this would go on for ever! :o which some like.

Thanks cdnvic.

Whenever I start feeling old, I will just look at this thread.

Never heard of half of these guys :o

Bob Dylan

Joni Mitchell

Van Morrison

Janis Joplin

Sarah Vaughn

Annie Lennox

I don't care who backs them up.

Jimmy Page

John / Jason Bonham

John Paul Jones

Robert Plant

Any doubts - listen to Since I've been Living you - The best Blues Rock track ever written/performed.

And I'm a blues guitarist in my spare time [30 years] this means my opinion is more important than yours.... :D

Another non zep combo could be -

Robert Cray - Guitar / backing vocals

Albert Collins - lead guitar

Jack Bruce - Bass

David Gray - Vocals - seriously :o

Carmin Appice - Drums

Pure Blues would be-

BB King and whoever is backing him at the time.

:D

Well all the musicians seem to be covered, all you have to decide is the final line up, but what about a venue for such a prestigious event.

The Royal Albert Hall, London? Shea Stadium, NYC? The Colosseum, Rome?

The night wouldn't be complete without a top class compere, how about Bill Hicks?

All musicians covered???? Don't think so, what about vocals: Jim Morrison (doors) John lee Hooker, Alvin Lee, etc.

The venue would be hard, digging up (literally) some of the dude's like Hendricks, etc. Could call them The Jamming Bones, or something.

Guitar: Robert Cray, Stevie Ray Vaughn, BB King, Jimi, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters

Keyboardist: Dr. John is pretty good.

Vocalist: Billie Holiday - remebered for jazz but very bluesy, Robert Johnson
