If you could bring a dead rock star back for 1 gig...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I remember my mum watching one of the big shows Queen did in the 80s (Live Magic maybe?) on TV saying "ooh where does he get the energy?"

That would be the cocaine mum.

It would be better if the Subject was 'If you could go back in time and see somebody performing live who is now dead, who would it be?'

Bringing any of them back would be a disappointment and the smell would be appalling.

I don't care for dead rock stars.
For whatever they achieved during their time, most of them are dead for too long to come up
with something exciting, something useful, something new. And a good part of their innovations
have got infiltrated or swallowed by ... "development". Unfortunately often enough somewhat
self-imposed already in sowing ... But hell, we're all only humans, limited in the width of our
perspective and in what we can bear even when only tinkering beyond conventional horizons.
Well ok, a slight reminder might not be all that bad time and again. Though in that case, it's enough
for me (and sometimes more than enough) to listen to my old records. For anyway, all art can hardly
be more for a me than what I can make of it.

that thread is more about some sort of nostalgia, i think, not about anything new.
not to mention that some of living creatures doesn't bring anything new or even fresh.
