Music: The ideal concert?

[notme]

So - what would be YOUR ideal live show?
Mine would be Sevendust opening for Metallica..... but I don't just want to hear from others of similar tastes.....and don't bother with limits like bands that are still together/artists who are still alive etc :rockon:

Actually I amend mine - Nirvana, Sevendust, Metallica. Any more than that in the one concert and I would explode. :doobey:

[SuperDave]

Was reading Anthony Kiedis' autobiography a while back and he mentioned how the Chillis played with Nirvana and Pearl Jam back in the day. Imagine how huge the concert would be if it was held now.

[notme]

That is a farkin good read huh?

[MattRSK]

Bloody good read that one!

[Waylander]

Ozzfest and Summer Sanatarium combined.

[Kendog]

I heard about a concert (years ago), and if I remember rightly it was Led Zep opening for Pink Floyd, and was a free concert. Could it get any better!! But on a more current line up, U2 opening for Metallica, hell yeah!(or the other way around).

Are you out of your mind? IF U2 Opend for Metallica they would get all manner of shit thrown at them. Very few Metallica fans like U2 mostly cause Bono is a selfritious twit and would never stand for them to be anywhere near a Metallica concert. Same thing the other way around. Thier styles of music is also incompatable in my opinion.

Actually that could be fun, I'de love to knock those stupid sunglasses off bono's face with a heavly glass bottle, then jam out to some Met.

[98tls]

Steve Earle opening for the Eagles.....

[Magua]

Soundgarden opening for Rage Against The Machine. One of many I'd like to see.

[Waylander]

lol join the club.

Save yourself the time travel and just go see Audioslave.

Exactly, it would be cool. I just want my money's worth and to get to see my two favourite bands that are still together and tour, would be cool.
I found it interesting when Metallica played the big day out how many people mainly went to see them, but sat through the entire day listening to music they wouldn't normally listen to or like. I just like value for money.

And fair enough too Mrs KD! :rockon:

The point of this thread is that I was idly wondering, so hey, anything goes. Having said that, I went to the BDO to see MetallicA specifically, i.e. I turned up at about 5pm and left after they played... :doobey:

[MattRSK]

For me a great line up would be..
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Incubus
Pearl Jam
Dire Straits
Pink Floyd
The Police
Eric Clapton
David Bowie
Meat Loaf
Eagles
(I could go on and on...)

Some kind of festival with all of the above would be great. Just because we have mastered time travel now and all. Oh no wait we havent, damn.

Dreams are free.

[notme]

Damn.....that's a long show.....beer tent needed... :drinkup:

[Magua]

Save yourself the time travel and just go see Audioslave.
They'll come here eventually. Though Chris Cornell is no Zack De La Rocha.

[Indiana_Jones]

Rolling Stones & Genesis

-Indy

[MattRSK]

ooo Yes Genesis add that to the list. Thanks indy.

[judecatmad]

Went to my perfect concert years ago - was in Manchester and it was James supported by the Stereophonics. Seeing James was good enough on its own, but Kelly did some acoustic stuff which was just incredible! I miss Indie music - you really don't get a lot of that stuff over here - and I miss concerts that are affordable enough to go to on a regular basis! (but the rest of NZ life makes up for it!)
Hey, anyone going to the rescheduled U2 concert in Nov? I'm going to the Saturday one. Flying from Palmy for the first time - something different! LOL

[APPLE]

PRINCE''.......now that would be a cool concert:cool:

Ooh I'de go to that!!

[Skyryder]

I'd go with Eric Clapton and BB King...............these guys would just be the warm up for Peter Green and the Splinter Group.

Saw Meatloaf in Christchurch .. last year(?). He was one of the two acts I really wanted to see before I die. Also saw Neil Diamond and Cher who were up there on the wish list but just a shade behind Meatloaf in the 'must see' stakes.
The one other act I'd really rate as must see alongside Meatloaf is Billy Joel. I've enjoyed his music for the longest time. Two other acts I'd like to see but certainly ranking behind Billy Joel are Tina Turner and Elton John. Lets now stir up a couple of KBers and add Robbie Williams to the list. Say what you like about him but the guy seems to really enjoy performing and that's got to make for a great concert.

[T.W.R]

1) Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix & a Band of Gypsys, The Doors, The Eagles

2) Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden

3) Salmonella Dub closed concert

they did an Album / Tour together around 2000 i think..saw them seperatly but never together

[ZeroIndex]

i still wouldn't mind seeing the smashing pumpkins do their machina album tour again, and while on the topic of near impossible, the name nirvana springs to mind..

[SlowHand]

Jam session involving Hendrix, Clapton, BB and SRV.

Who do I have to slap to see that?

[The Pastor]

Deep purple. And I saw them live too.

I win.

[Skyryder]

Yea RIDING WITH THE KING. BB did a tour with U2 a few years back. Not realy a great U
fan. I've seen BB twice at the Chch town hall.

Peter Green is Clapton's equal if not better. Green got ill and was off stage for years so not too many people know of him. He was the original guitarist for Fleewood Mac.

speaking of guitars...does anybody remember peter frampton..brillant guitarist.

[Mooch]

A double billing of faithless would be grand.

[Skyryder]

Yes I do. Think one of his albums is still one of the all time sellers. FRAMPTOM COMES ALIVE He did a stint with David Bowie at one time.

[Matt Bleck]

Sepultura before Max left....

[Waylander]

Another concert I would love to see: Godsmack, Korn, Disturbed, Black Label Society, Rob Zombie, Metallica, Pantera, Union Underground, Slipknot, Tool, Mythril and No State.

In that order? :Punk:

I think Bowie's accommodated most of the boys at one time or other hasn't he?

[Waylander]

In that order? :Punk:
Preferably all mixed in and performing together aswell as seperately.

[notme]

.....well done :clap:

[Waylander]

Oh yea ad Powerman 500 to that but only if they play with Zombie.

PM5K + Rob Zombie = ? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlWL0mlCQec)

[Joni]

PRINCE''.......now that would be a cool concert:cool:Good choice - Seen him live and it was absolutely amazing!!!!!

Aparently one News Years Eve Lenny Kravitz opened for him @ Paisley Park - now that would be one not to be missed...

[Scouse]

The Scissor Sisters opening for the Beatles

[Waylander]

Oh and this group (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ss41lkJFZc&mode=related&search=) aswell..

[The_Dover]

Green got ill and was off stage for years so not too many people know of him.

Got ill, ha ha ha, yeah right.

Green went fucking mad due to a wild acid trip.

RESPECT.

Anyway, I'd like to see Guns 'N' Roses, Primus, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Matthews and The Pussycat Dolls.

In fact, the last lot don't have to sing or anything. They're not included on "artistic merit" but the rest of them aren't much to look at.
