What now-deceased artists have you seen in concert?

Here's my short list:

1.) Stevie Ray Vaughan
2.) Jerry Garcia w/ The Grateful Dead
3.) Shannon Hoon w/ Blind Melon
4.) Kenny Kirkland (incredible jazz keyboardist for Sting) twice
5.) Carl Perkins
6.) Carl Wilson w/ The Beach Boys
7.) Warren Zevon (7 times)- I met him three times as well. Awesome guy.

Cobain / Nirvana
Staley / Alice in Chains

I never saw Sublime live, but I had some mutual friends with Brad Nowell, and I've seen him play a bunch of cover songs at a few parties here and there. I didn't care for Sublime, but he did some great covers.

Grateful Dead
Bob Marley

Had a chance to see Jimi Hendrix, but decided not to go--figured there'd be plenty of opportunities. A short time later, he was dead. I'm an idiot. (Although I did get it right with Bob Marley. He died about a year after I saw him.)
