Oldest one I've seen was Willie Nelson, last summer, age 90. Prior to that it was Ralph Stanley, 88, not too long before he passed away. And about eight years ago or thereabouts, it was Ramblin' Jack Elliott, who was 83 or 94. Jack is now older than Willie Nelson and still playing some gigs.

I saw Sun Ra's Arkestra downtown a few months back and one of the members turned 100 a few days later

I went to see John Mayall play a show in 2019 when he was 86. He didn't play much guitar during the show, mostly just keyboard playing, harmonica playing and singing, but even at 86 he still was able to put on a good show with his band.

I think he was the oldest musician I've ever seen perform live.

That would be Marshall Allen, the leader of the group ever since Sun Ra's passing. How was the show?

Drjohnrock

Sounds great. Mayall has had a lot of musicians in his band who became famous later in other musical incarnations. But they wouldn't have played with him in the first place if he wasn't a good musician in his own right.

I saw Les Paul play somewhere around 1990. He would have been in his mid-70's at the time.

Paul Simon was about the same age when I saw him in 2016.

Do you mean the oldest now or the oldest when you saw them? I've seen the Sawyer Brown band three times, and the lead singer is now 65 years old. He was 46 when I saw him my last time. For a female, Tanya Tucker is also 65 now. She was 38 years old though the last time that I was able to see her and that was in 1997 when she did her book tour.

God bless you and her and the guys of Sawyer Brown always!!!

Holly (a fan of Miss T since 1991)

P.S. 1994 was the last time that I saw her in concert.

Drjohnrock

Oldest when you saw them.

SweetHeartHolly

^^^ Then for me it would be a tie between the lead singer of Sawyer Brown and Trace Adkins. They were both 46 the last time that I got to see them both.

God bless you and the Sawyer Brown members and Trace always!!!
