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

One of the most amazing concerts I've ever been to. The friend I went with still brings it up from time to time. His piano playing was phenominal pairing with his mesmerizing vocal talent to create a night I'll never forget.

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.
