Have you seen any of those bands live? I saw the Doors last summer, minus Jim Morrison of course, and they were incredible. They only played for an hour since they were one of 5 bands playing, but that hour was so great. The guy they have to replace Morrison was really good. He doesn't sound exactly like him, but he has so much energy and stage presence. The rest of the band is all of the original members, and Ray Manzarek, the Doors keyboardist, talked to the audience a lot. There was a lot of good audience banter, as opposed to ZZ Top, who played afterwards, who just stood up there and played. They were still good, but the Doors set the bar pretty high.
I also saw the Who right after John Entwistle died, so I guess I saw half of the Who. They were really good as well, but obviously not as crazy as their early years. It's funny to listen to the lyrics of My Generation when they sing "I hope I die before I get old" and they are all in their fifties. Roger Daltrey can still get his voice up pretty high, but nowhere near his peak. Pete Townshend is still one of the greatest guitarists ever, however. I also saw Robert Plant open for the Who so I've seen 1/4th of Led Zeppelin. He played mostly his new stuff, which was decent, but they did play three Zeppelin songs. Although it wasn't the same as the original band playing, hearing Plant sing those songs live was great.
I'll be seeing Paul McCartney this October so I'll knock of another of the top 5. I've also heard the Rolling Stones are going to be touring sometime later this year or early next year so I'll try to see them to.
