If all the decent musicians in heaven decided to Jam what a band that would be.

Janis Joplin on lead Vocals
Jim Morrison on backing vocals / Poetry / Ranting etc
Jimi Hendrix on Guitar
John Entwistle on Bass
Keith Moon on Drums

How's that?
Heaven in Heaven ?? : )

I remember seeing a bootleg CD in a 2nd-hand store years ago that had
Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison & Jimi Hendrix in some sort of session.
Unfortunately it was going for some ridiculous price, so I didn't buy
it. The photo on the cover did have all three in a studio.

I tried on WinMX not long ago, & ended up with an MP3 called
'Spaceship Blues' - it was played by some idiotic Jefferson Airplane /
Creedence Clearwater Revival-style band that was nothing to do with
any of them, although they were identified as the musicians.

I'd pick John Bonham (Led Zep) for the ultimate drummer, BTW :)

Yeah ! you can have Bonham in your Dream team line up.
Debbie Bonham's got quite a good voice.
I saw her at the Steve Marriott tribute .
Steve Marriott could have easily took Janis's spot of vocalist !

Funny you should say that.

There's a rock pub in Utrecht called "Stairway To Heaven" which has a
large mural of Jimi, Janis, Jim Morrison etc in heaven.

Their website is on www.stairway.nl, and here's a picture of it.

http://www.stairway.nl/share/streetwear/BigPoster1.htm

As far as I can make out that's Frank Zappa, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix
on harp, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones and Freddie Mercury.
I don't know who the bloke with the black hair at the front is.

Perhaps John and George could pen a song together...

won't be short of people who can put a record on a turntable though! ;-)

I notice that mural didn't have any of the Blues masters.
John Lee Hooker,Muddy,Sonny Boy.
Without them there wouldn't be no rock n roll .
Respect Overdue.

I think the point is that it was rock heaven, not blues heaven.
Besides, you could probably have filled the entire wall with the faces
of dead rock stars twice over.

I remember a great Saturday-morning-after-the-Friday-night-before in Portmeirion
listening to (Dave) Saunter wigging out on his guitar while we all imbibed JDs.
Steve, you must bring yours sometime. Maybe some other musicians here can
arrange a jam session (I'm completely un-musical but I do like to listen).

Sadly, at the moment I'm unable to attend anything in the UK for
various reasons, which I won't go into here.

I'd love to have a jam sometime though. If anyone is passing through
Cologne, give me a call.
