QotD: Should've Seen Them Live
Which band or artist which is no longer performing or alive would you have loved to have seen?

Easy, The Beatles....or maybe not, I can't imagine how I would hear anything over all of the screaming gals.
I did see The Fab Faux which I think is as close as any of us will ever get. In case you don't know who The Fab Faux is here's a snippet from their website.
The Fab Faux are without a doubt the most musically satisfying Beatles tribute band on the scene today. Boasting the high visibility of TV star/musicians Will Lee from The Late Show with David Letterman and Jimmy Vivino from Late Night with Conan O'Brien; five strong lead vocalists (including Rich Pagano, Frank Agnello, Jack Petruzzelli) and a commitment to the accurate reproduction of The Beatles' repertoire; this is the band to see if you want to know what it might have been like if The Beatles toured behind their later albums (with a healthy portion of the early guitar-based stuff that most tribute bands play.) Imagine hearing complex material like "Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am the Walrus", and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", performed in complete part-perfect renditions; or such harmony-driven songs as "Because", "Nowhere Man", and "Paperback Writer", reproduced not only note-for-note, but with extra vocalists available to achieve a double-tracked effect!
When I saw them last month they did the entire White Album straight through and it was great! They were The Beatles without the looks!
Here they are on Letterman!
