BearFan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I saw Joan Jett last year, she put on a good show (it was a town festival with Foghat, Joan Jett, and Cheap Trick .. great show). I saw Lita Ford in the late 80s, really solid show and she just looked great. But the best I have seen live has to be Heart. Incredible vocals, great songs, just an all around fun time and they still sound good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point where the 10-12k fans were screaming throughtout the show. The best show last year I was able to go out and see...I got layed up for 4 months after ankle surgery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz44 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Skin from Skunk Anansie, probably the best performance from a lady I've ever seen. The singer with the Blue Pills has a canny set of pipes, but the rest of the band were so, so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'd forgotten about it until I read Blue J's post, but I saw Tori Amos back in 1999. It was a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The best female performer I remember seeing is Chrissie Hynde. The only female performer I remember seeing is Chrissie Hynde. The thing is, I don't like her or the Pretenders. But they were opening for Iggy Pop once, and that's the only reason I've seen her. I am, however, looking forward to seeing Nightwish with their new singer in a few months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I have not seen a female performer live yet, but it is a few that I would like to see... First one is:Lita Ford, You guys might know her as the guitar player from the all-girl band The Runaways. But in 1983 she released her first solo album, there she both play guitar and sing. I really like her sound, my favorite album is her latest album Living Like A Runaway, and here is my favorite song from that album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnHR5ofZyhw&spfreload=10 And the second one is:Magenta, it is a prog rock band that released their first album in 2001, and their singer got a awesome voice. Before I heard this band, I did not liked when females was singing at all, but her voice is just amazing. And it does also help that they got a awesome guitar-player, my second favorite after Lifeson, just look at this video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 And the third and last one is:P!nk, believe it or not, but I do like her, she have made some good songs that I like, and she do seem to make concerts there it happens much, I can´t say I am a huge fan but some songs are good, like this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I agree with you! She was a bit blues rock on her 3rd album, and I liked that, but then she left that style and went more pop rock, and I don't like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Ginger Lynn hands down You've seen her live? For me it was in the mid 90s. I met a girl who was hawking Captain Morgan's Rum at a bar in the Back Bay area of Boston. She was dressed up as a pirate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I didn't know I knew you back in the mid 90s. And I thought only my roommate at the time could confirm that a) I did bring a girl back to the apartment and b) she was smoking hot. Now I have you to say that she was in fact an actress. This is awesome. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The best female rock & roll performer I've seen was Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart) way back in the early 80's. Their Bebe le Strange tour. I've also seen Patty Smyth with Scandal way back in the 80's. She was really good, too. Honorable Mention goes to the two dancing girls who danced all night on stage for Guns & Roses, at The Joint in Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel. :P :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 the closest thing to a female performer I've ever seen is geddy. this thread made me realize I've never seen a woman live. Me too! Holy shit what's up with that! Although I did once know a girl who could perform.. Um- actually nevermind .. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Darby Mills! Just remembered I saw The Headpins about 5 years ago at a free concert. You know what? She still had that powerful voice. I was amazed actually! And speaking of Tina Turner, a buddy of mine saw her in a very small town here in Alberta Canada a week before Private Dancer came out! She was nothing back then but when Private Dancer hit stores she took off like crazy but this little show was in a bandshell in a small field. Amazing!

goose Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Like P/G, I saw Tina Turner, but just as her Private Dancer album was breaking. She opened for Lionel Richie. As for other female performers, I've seen... Pat Benatar (stellar)Bonnie Rait (excellent)Bjork (with the SugarCubes)Christine McVie (with Fleetwood Mac)Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson (with the B52s) Chrissie Hynde and Annie Lennox are two I'd love to see...and Exene Cervenka with X.

The Analog Grownup Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The only female performer I've seen live is Bonnie Raitt. Great voice and oodles of charm. For many years I preferred men singing but lately it has shifted towards women. In fact my band have a female singer on trial as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart)Gwen Stefani (No Doubt)Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation)Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil)Annette Olzon (ex-Nightwish) This is just all too much for me to take in. I am so jealous of you! And yay! Someone else mentions Gwen in a positive way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
