If you have any regrets over missing some of the greats, like the Grateful Dead, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, or The Beatles, Ticketbroker.com would like to help make sure you get a chance to keep those regrets to a minimum.
Making the top ten:
10. KISS. Yep, it’s true. They are still the hottest band in the world. Even though they effectively reduced their average age by adding Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer to the lineup, Gene Simmons isn’t getting any younger. And with $1 from every ticket going to the Wounded Warrior fund, you can feel good about this one. While Paul Stanley’s hip replacement may keep him going another ten years, and the band is planning a follow up to their successful Sonic Boom album, this is one act you won’t want to miss.
9. Rush. These guys have been in the limelight for a long time, and they still rock on stage. It won’t last forever, though (and definitely not until 2112).
8. Ringo and Paul. Ok, you can’t see The Beatles. And you can’t even see these two together. But both of these guys are out on tour, and it’s as close as any of us will get to seeing the Fab Four (unless we settle for one of the cover bands). Ringo just turned 70, folks.
7. Roger Waters. Yes, it would be better if Pink Floyd would just reunite, but Roger Waters is touring with The Wall…and that is a must-see no matter which generation of fan you might be.
6. Phil Collins. We’re not even sure this guy is going to go on tour. He says he’s not, but he’s said that before, and he is in the studio doing one last album. If we’re lucky, that one last album will be followed by one last tour…one you won’t want to miss.
5. Jimmy Buffet. Parrotheads, how long is it going to be before Jimmy just sails off into the sunset and leaves us all crying in our Margaritas? Grab a cheeseburger from paradise and don’t delay; this is one act that you will remember forever.
4. Aerosmith. Steven Tyler made it through another round of rehab and is ready to rock, but this band has always had a little trouble keeping it together. We predict this will be the last major tour for these guys – and you won’t want to miss a thing!
3. Ozzy Osbourne. He’s defied the odds (thanks, Sharon) and survived a lot longer than most people predicted. Seeing Ozzy is one of those grand moments of rock, so take a ride on the crazy train before it’s too late.
2. U2. Ok, so Bono might not appreciate being on this list, and the group may have another 10 albums left in them. But whoever thought that they’d be more popular now than they were with Joshua Tree?! They are still selling out stadiums around the world, and this is one of those acts you want to see while they’re still in their prime.
And our #1 choice for your last chance act…
1. Rolling Stones. In July, the Rolling Stones announced that they will be launching a worldwide tour in 2011 to celebrate their 50th anniversary. The fact that they are even still able to get up on the stage after 50 years, multiple stints in rehab, and a few years of not getting along is amazing. It’s also going to be their very last tour. This is it folks: the last chance you will ever have to see the Rolling Stones in concert.
