I saw this show Nirvana at Motor Sports International Garage (Seattle) on 22 Sep 1990 ? Last.fm oh man..it was awesome.

I'm jealous!!!:rockin:

 

[Birchgrove77]

I'm no music afficionado and maybe it is all the economy and job loss news, but Robert Johnson would be awesome to see in some smoky, back alley, dive bar...with a good tap selection of course.

 

[RICLARK]

I have only one band left that I would kill to see and thats Black Label Society.

 

[GreenwoodRover]

I'm no music afficionado and maybe it is all the economy and job loss news, but Robert Johnson would be awesome to see in some smoky, back alley, dive bar...with a good tap selection of course.

hell yeah, the god father of modern, english rok and roll. Led Zeppelin (my fav. band) would not exist without him.
The box set released in the mid ninetys is awesome....

Robert Plant himself described one of the best songs on Physical Graffiti, "Trampled Underfoot" as "Robert Johnson's Terrapin Blues revamped"

Jefferson Airplane (PU live)
Steppenwolf
Eric Burdon
Buffalo Springfield

I passed up a chance to see Jimi Hendrix live in the early 70's. I have regretted it ever since.

 

[llazy_llama]

I can't think of a single person I know that I wouldn't be willing to kill if I could see the following concert:

Led Zeppelin (either Sr. or Jr, I don't care, both are amazing drummers) opens. Primus follows. Rage Against the Machine comes out next, (Afterwords, Zac assassinates Chris Cornell) Then Sublime ends it out. After their set, I toke up with Bradley Nowell.

I didn't pass Hendrix up, I had a ride...just not the $4 for the ticket...

 

[StoutFan]

Oh man, the list would go on forever. I think SRV, Jeff Beck, Satriani, Zappa, and The Dead would top out my wish list.

 

[jonp9576]

rick, i dont think you'll have to kill to see black label. they are around pretty often in small venues for a very reasonable price.

 

[jonp9576]

ok, flame away, but i wouldnt mind seeing meatloaf.

 

[MikeFlynn74]

ok, flame away, but i wouldnt mind seeing meatloaf.

hey you're the only one flaming

 

[RICLARK]

rick, i dont think you'll have to kill to see black label. they are around pretty often in small venues for a very reasonable price.

I know it, however they for some reason dont like to play on weekends here. They have a show coming up soon and its on a damn tuesday.

 

[StunnedMonkey]

Sure, you get to see Neal, but at what cost. The lead singer's voice will explode your eardrums!!!

But he wanted to hear YYZ! There are no vocals in YYZ.

I was lucky enough to see Rush twice in (I believe) 1981, when the great stuff from the mid/late 70's was still their show. Good stuff.

 

[RonRock]

Chris Ledoux

 

[mmb]

I'd love to see all the artists on the Sun Records label back in their prime from the 50s and I'd love to see Buddy Holly.

Then the 80s/90's bands that broke up and/or died. OpIvy, Blind Mellon, Smashing Pumpkins, Sublime, etc etc etc

 

[jonp9576]

i fel your pain ric they have been in allentown(about 40 min from me) twice and they were both mid week shows.

 

[clake]

Frank Zappa would top the list for me and the particular song would be The Torture Never Stopped.

 

[Borisbbadd]

I could agree with Zappa.

 

[farmbrewernw]

Pink Floyd- The Wall in it's entirety

 

[kaptain_karma]

I would drive a busload of nuns into shark infested waters to see a Velvet Underground reunion.

 

[the_bird]

Tom Waits. Lucky for me, he plays about, oh, a half-dozen concerts per decade.

 

[homebrewer_99]

I would drive a busload of nuns into shark infested waters to see a Velvet Underground reunion.

Some people would do that for free...

 

[Parker36]

I would have killed to see Concert for George live. That lineup was unbelievable

 

[mev]

I'd love to see the Dead with Pigpen. Close second would be Band of Gypsies then SRV, then the Beatles. The list goes on and on and on.

 

[Parker36]

I'd love to see the Dead with Pigpen. Close second would be Band of Gypsies then SRV, then the Beatles. The list goes on and on and on.

I was going to say the Beatles also, but I really don't think they would have been spectacular live (unless you saw them in the cavern club). They were a studio band foremost

 

[Jaybird]

The Doors
Elvis
The Grateful Dead
Nirvana
Led Zeppelin In their prime W/ all original members
Jimmy
Beatles
Pink Floyd during The Wall


I love all music but I would like to have been able see these guys.

 

[Smurfe]

I got out of high school in the 70's and have had the pleasure to see many many of the bands listed in concert. I have to say if I could turn back time and go to one concert event it would be Woodstock. There are numerous artist there I would of loved to see live.

 

[RICLARK]

Ive seen so many concerts its hard to remember what I still want to see. I was thinking about it and Would of loved to see Hendrix and Would love to see The Rolling Stones.

 

[user 30639]

There's so many bands I wish I could have seen in their day, with the complete lineups.

Zep, SRV, The Doors, Hendrix, The Who, Skynard. Man, the list goes on.
