Your dream concert - who and where?

[Taverner]

OK...mine is Pink Floyd (with the Gilmour, Mason, Wright AND Waters) and Radiohead doing a double bill.

Set 1 - Radiohead
Set 2 - Pink Floyd
Set 3 - Radiohead AND Pink Floyd

[1gobluedem]

1. Bruce Springsteen in my backyard

REM to open.

That almost happened on the Vote for Change Tour (well, not in my backyard but not far from my house). Then they moved it to Detroit...boo hoo.

[idgiehkt]

4. that's hard to top

I would also like Kat Bjelland to open, and then watch it with me. She can sit on my lap.

[KFC]

2. Killing Joke and the Ramones

As much as I like the Ramones, Killing Joke was the best band ever. Listen to their first album.

[taterguy]

3. The Go Gos performing nude

I can dream can't I?

[MrCoffee]

5. Damn, that's so good I should have thought of it.

[_testify_]

7. The Go Gos performing nude

in my lap.

[NewWaveChick1981]

6. My dream concert is a big festival, kinda like Woostock meets

Lollapalooza meets Godzilla. :P It would go on for a week. :woohoo: The following artists/bands would be there: Pink Floyd (definitely your version with Mason/Waters/Wright/Gilmour), The Beatles, Oingo Boingo, World Party, Psychedelic Furs, Altered Images, English Beat, Human Sexual Response (they'd only have to play three songs to make me happy---(I Wanna Be) Jackie Onassis, Land of the Glass Pinecones, and What Does Sex Mean To Me?), Pretenders, REM, David Bowie (pre-mid 80s stuff only), The Monkees ('cause I was a sucker for them when I was a kid), The Ramones, the dBs, Let's Active, Devo, The Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division (although New Order would do in a pinch, even without Ian), The Police (up through Ghost in the Machine---nothing older), The Clash, Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Plasmatics, Dead Kennedys, Butthole Surfers, Buzzcocks, The Jam, XTC, Aztec Camera, Bronski Beat, Blondie, Dire Straits and..... whoever the hell else we can invite!!!! :D

We'd have to hold it at a big farm somewhere like Woodstock.... :) I'd definitely be in a happy coma after that...

[taterguy]

10. Which Let's Active line-up?

Just curious since there were so many, but since it's a dream I guess you could mix and match, ie, Mitch on guitar, Faye on bass, Eric on drums

[MorningGlow]

8. George Harrison

(alive, please) on a deserted island with nobody but me and a couple of guitars--one for him and one for me. Sigh.

[Joe Fields]

9. The Doors, Cream, opening for Jimi Hendrix at the Fillmore West

[Broken_Hero]

11. All right!

Opening...Life of Agony!!

Second Act-Korn...knick knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone!

third act-Nirvana(time machine here)

fourth act-The Doors....(time machine again)

5th act-Metallica

6th, and closing act, Pink Floyd...

[Broken_Hero]

31. I forgot to answer where...

My back yard, all five acres of it!!! So I can invite a lot of buddies, and have room for beer...:P

[greendog]

12. Leonard Cohen...

...at the KM theater (80 seats). Opening act: June Tabor

[Initech]

13. It'd be a six hour Frank Zappa concert at the Roxy in Los Angeles

The site where he recorded his infamous "Roxy & Elsewhere" album.

[grannylib]

14. I'd go for John Lennon in my living room, followed by Neil Finn, same

place. Just strummin', singin', and hangin' out. Eric Clapton could come too, he could duet with Bonnie Raitt.
:-)

[Floogeldy]

15. Where?

:)

[Taverner]

16. Ahhh yes I forgot

Albert Hall, UK

[Floogeldy]

21. That is a little scary.

Something about filling the holes there in the hall. I don't exactly remember where I heard that. :)

[Floogeldy]

17. L7

Naked. In my bed. 15 years ago. ;)

[idgiehkt]

18. damn.

hate I missed that.:evilgrin:

[taterguy]

27. I saw them fully clothed 17 years ago

I think it was one of their first tours. There were only about 20 people there.

[bertha katzenengel]

19. Me. Fabulously talented. Singing like a dream. At the Birchmere.

Making people lose their asses with laughing.

Kinda like Christine Lavin. :loveya:

I didn't mean it when I said I hope
the cable in the elevator snaps
when you step on board
and I was joking when I said I hope you crack your head
and get mangled in the downstairs revolving door
and I was kidding when I said I hope
the Number 103 bus hits and makes a pancake out of you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Isn't it amazing what a woman in love will do?

I have performed that song twice -- no, three times including the "rehearsal" at the coffee house -- and I swear to god, there is NOTHING like that fabulous rush . . . aahhhh, those were the days.

[u4ic]

20. Joni Mitchell

I don't care what city - but preferably outside. :-)

[Floogeldy]

22. Euphoric

Okay, so I'm a little slow.

[u4ic]

23. Lol

I think there's still some kicking around here who don't realize it...:D

[Floogeldy]

25. Heh heh.

:blush:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

24. Already been to mine

Crosby, Stills and Nash at Starwood in Nashville. Aging peacenik heaven.

I would have said Golden Earring but they stopped touring the States in 2000 because of the coming violence. Wise people.

[ikojo]

26. Set One Phish

Set Two Santana

Set Three THE GRATEFUL DEAD, 1980s and 1990s version with Brent, Vince and Bruce on the keys

Sunrise...Carlos Santana and Trey jamming with the Dead as we have breakfast with the Dead


I would then die happy!!!

[ceile]

28. Pixies and Catherine Wheel

Yes, I know CW split, but a girl can dream. Where though.....Stubb's outside, or maybe Auditorium Shores......

[stlsaxman]

29. Spoken word and Music Concert.

Set 1 - Helen Thomas Speech

Set 2 - Al Gore Speech

Set 3 - Marc Maron stand up set.

Set 4 - Wilco

Set 5 - The Beatles...

... then I could die happy.

[BreweryYardRat]

30. There's two different musical genres for me.

Classic Rock:
Eric Clapton
The Beatles
The Stones

Euro Power Metal:
Human Fortress
Galloglass
Iron Savior

[tinfoil tiaras]

32. R.E.M. and Rilo Kiley

That would be the most awesome thing everrrrrrr

[flvegan]

33. All day festival for charity (a la Tibetan Freedom, etc), and the list

Would be more eclectic than any of the 'Paloozas, with something for just about everyone.

Three stages.

Stage 1:
Billy Bragg
Drive By Truckers
Kevn Kinney (half solo, half with Drivin and Cryin)
Pearl Jam
Neil Young (Pearl Jam comes out for the Young encore)
Closing jam session with everyone

Stage 2:
My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult (short set)
Lords of Acid (short set)
Guano Apes (short set)
Stabbing Westward
Ministry
Rob Zombie
Marilyn Manson
Nine Inch Nails

Stage 3 (main stage):
Rise Against
Green Day
Rage Against the Machine (reunited)
The Beastie Boys

[SoyCat]

34. It would be more like a festival. Dream Theater, Eric Johnson, Sonny

Landreth, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Jimmie Vaughn, Johnny A., Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck would be a good start.
