Had a discussion at work about what bands you would have headlining at your place if u could have anyone at all - dead or alive......it didnt take much for me to think of
the clash with the jam supporting.

It begins and ends up PanterA! :D
I would have also liked to have seen 'The Verve' (with Nick McCabe on guitar), at their peak.
I am still hanging out to see R.E.M. as well. They were probably at peak around the mid-90's, but I reckon they could still mix it up well with their rockier pop tunes as well as their more subtle stuff of recent years.
If R.E.M. toured, I would be happy to go and see them as many nights as they played.
I'm also fairly keen to see Zwan, as I reckon they'd make a good live outfit, and I am keen to see Augie March again sometime soon (although, I've seen them heaps).

I would kill to see Ozzy. If he comes here i will sleep out for tickets to get up the front and am gonna go in just a bra which i will write Ozzys name on and sit up on Darky's shoulders to get on tv like in all the Ozzy videos we've watched :D
Somehow especially after last weeks Osbournes i got a feeling he won't be making it here though :( he looks like he's gonna die very soon :(
Would kill to see Nirvana as well, probably more so than Ozzy by just a fraction!
This is a bit weird but i wouldn't mind going to a Spice Girls concert. I dunno why but ive just seen them on V and they do spectacular shows!
MANOWAR!!! Other bands play, MANOWAR kill.
Uli Jon Roth/Michael Schenker/Ritchie Blackmore doing a G3 guitar show, and a reformed Rainbow (with Ronnie James Dio on vocals) as support.

WEEZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, i'd love to see weezer too!
blur.... (mid 90's)
beck... (he's back again, hordern pavillion)
violent femmes... (they're coming too!)

Sounds good to me..........I've been lucky enough to see more than half the bands on my lists live but would have loved to have seen a few of them in their prime.........
Would loved to have seen Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Ozzy Osborne when Rhandy Rhodes was his lead guitarist.
Neil Young after he put out Ragged Glory.
AC/DC with Bon Scott .
Pearl Jam
Radiohead
Bob Dylan in 1966
Van Morrison after his first couple of solo albums.
Pink Floyd with Roger Waters in early 80's.
Pink floyd in 1972.
Metalica 10 years ago. (Would love to see that show again)
The Verve
John Lee Hooker with Ry Cooder on slide guitar.
Joan Baez
Black Sabbath Paranoid Tour
REM
Creed
The Hitman
3 Mar 2003, 05:25
Someone at tertiary said he has seen Radiohead live. I almost convulsed. There are bands I love more, and I don't think anything could beat Pearl Jam. But I'd kill to see Thom and the lads in action.
The Hitman
i am ashamed of myself!!
how could i forget nirvana??????????
MY fave band ATM is goldfinger - saw them with the pistils in 95 i think and they didnt come to aDELAIDE last years GRRRRRRRR

Too many to mention, but from bands that I haven't already seen (and in some cases, never will), I would love to see Belle and Sebastian, the Miles Davis Quintet, Serge Gainsbourg, Joy Division, Mazzy Star, The Smiths, NO, Talulah Gosh, The Field Mice, and The Pixies.
Joy Division, The Jam, ThinWhiteRope, ELO :eek: (saw em as a kid and loved it) BeachBoys circa 66, Beatles (ha), Small Faces, ELVIS, Little Richard, Queensryche if they did 'Operation Mindcrime' (and Anthony Valentine as Dr.X), Kate Bush (ggggrrrrooowwwlllll) the Kinks, Undertones, Jesus and Mary Chain, Joy Division (id see em at least twice)! Gerry and the Pacemakers, Jimi Hendrix experience, Janis J, Mamas and Papas (just to hear Mama Cass and Papa Denny), Gary Numan, Velvet Underground (Nico is optional). Ben E King and the Drifters, Martha and the Vandellas, the original Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Sly and the family Stone, the Dingo's, J'OK, Stevie Wright in his prime, Stevie Wonder in his prime, Van Morrison on a day when he is looking at the audience...
To many more.
Oh yeah, I'd love to see Skid Row, Megadeth and Soundgarden again, and of course Kyuss (never got to see them). It's be fan-fecking-tastic to see Helloween and Iron Maiden too!

Hmm...Spice Girls, Bardot, Natalie Imbruglia, Scandal'us, the new popstars, etc........
.....Well I'm dead aren't I? what do I care.
Then maybe once there all in there I can lock all the doors and set fire to the place.....
Seriously, Metallica, circa 91 (black), opening up for Metallica circa 88 (early stuff), with Pearl Jam (circa ten), and Nirvana (up to nevermind) to close.
(oh how commercial am I!)

Iggy and the Stooges, Blue Oyster Cult and the Dictators (This gig actually occurred in the early 70s when the Stooges and BOC peaked as live bands).

Which reminds me, I'd love to see The Three Terrors.
Stephin Merritt, Dudley Klute, and LD Beghitol (the three male vocalists on the Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs").
I'd like to see a Soundgarden/Faith No More double act. Have The Kinks as an opener.
Nine Inch Nails! would be the only band that I would die to see

I saw them in '98, and they were very, very good.
I would go and see them again although, considering they are so overt in their anti-hype status (which wasn't quite as pronounced back in '98), I get the feeling it would be somewhat difficult in trying to engage the type of enthusiasm in which they reproduce some of their songs live.
I certainly wouldn't expect them to be as good as they were in '98.

I saw them at good old Alternative Nation in '95.

Mate, you (and I) would have loved Donington Monsters of Rock in '88.
How's this for a never-to-be-surpassed quality bill!!!
Iron Maiden
Kiss
David Lee Roth
Megadeth
Guns'N'Roses
Helloween
SCREAM FOR ME Donington, indeed!

The Saints one is a chance. Apparently Ed and Chris have kissed and made up. As far as I know Ivor Hay is still floating around and then just "Insert bass player here". Seriously I don't know whatever happened to Kym Bradshaw although I have a feeling he is in the UK.
Dead Kennedys is NO chance from what I can gather as the previous members are all currently suing Jello over royalities and have actually done gigs in the states as Dead Kennedys with a different singer(can you believe it???).
.........Ramones:( ...........
I've always thought that in this day of bands getting back together and touring it would be great to get The Birthday Party together (sans Tracey obviously).But alas this seems a way off for now. I know one of the ex-members and there seems to be some friction still there between some members.Although the good news for Birthday Party fans is that a DVD is coming out featuring rare TV footage from german TV amongst other stuff.

Man that's huge! I'd have loved to have been there. There could be nothing like that these days, whoever they put on the bill!
St-Kris, NIN were pretty good yeah. They got a bit repetitive after a while, but I couldn't complain too much. I know lots of their songs, but have no albums, so a NIN fan would probably give a much better appraisal than I could!

For me, only one: Rush.
I've missed four opportunities to see them in the last several years due to any number of uncontrollable circumstances.
They're all pushing 50 now, and albums and tours are getting fewer and farther between. Worse yet, I've moved offshore to somewhere where nobody knows who they are and they probably won't ever tour.
So I'm gonna have to base a trip home around the next tour, assuming there even is one.

Umm...can you think of anymore Meg??
I gotta see Nick and the Bad Seeds next time they tour, very sad to hear Blixa has quit the group. Birthday Party would be great, I'll look out for that DVD.
The Beasts of Bourbon, with Kim Salmon back in the group! I'll have to get out and see Spencer Jones at the Gov next month.
It was great to see The Scientists last year, I wish they would put out a DVD of some of those shows!
Tex Perkins, Don Walker and Charlie Owen would be another line up I'd like to see again and last but not least...
Cold Chisel. I could be a very happy camper in 2003 if the rumours are true...he he he.

How do LL, busy with work mate, you know how it is.:o
I saw the TBF about 3 times. I was mates with Reedy and Neil.
I remember a gig at the Old Queens Arms when management got so ****ed off with their antics they booted them off stage (pricks).
Not sure what they are into now:confused:
I tell you who I WOULD like to see again and that would be the Mice, but I would like to travel back to the late 80's to watch them. They were at their peak IMO. Raw and unleashed, what I imagine The Stooges would be like live.
