Who are you grateful you got to see perform before they died
Chris's thought provoking post got me thinking about all the performers I was fortunate enough to see before they were gone. Tops on my list are:
Cliff Burton Charles Brown Lane Staley

I can't believe you celebrated his 73rd with him How very cool. I only wish I could have seen him perform many more times.
