was_usvirgin Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Iggy and the Stooges Lou Reed Rory Gallagher The Kinks All great live bands, but Rory would have stolen the show, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooNoi Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Peter Gabriel Pink Floyd (Late 70's / Early 80's line-up if possible!) David Bowie The Doors (Can we have "Dead" bands in the poll? Sayjann didn't say). Bugger it. They're in there. I remember a while back talking to a couple of young English girls in Bangkok. They're were both 19 years old. They told me that they'd just been to the G8 Concert (I think) in Hyde Park in London. I asked if they had a good time, and they said "Yeah - it was great. But at the end of the concert these old geezers came on and did a cover of Scissor Sisters' "Comfortably Numb". Not sure who they were." Oh my GOD....

Mekong Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 My list is not too disimilar to yours Piggy, in no particular order. 1. Genesis 1975 Gabriel, Hackett, Rutherford, Banks, Collins line up, playing tracks from Nursery Crime, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway era. 2. Pink Floyd 1977 Waters, Gilmour, Wright, Mason line up. To me this was Floyd live at their best. Meddle had been released in 71 and "One of these Days" was a classic by 77, they had dropped playing tracks from obscured by the clouds by then but most of the set was Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you were Here and Animals. 78-79 they recorded The Wall and the next time they toured was with "The Wall" and the Gig was just like listening to the Studio Album not what I want from a live concert. 3. Roger Waters 25/7/90 Words cannot begin to describe what it felt like to stand in Potzdamer Platz on the Eastern Berlin side 8 months after "The Wall" came down. A concept performance I did not enjoy previously took on a whole new meaning ten years after it was first performed. 4. Led Zeppelin 1973 Madison Square Garden. Houses of the Holy Tour, which was released as 1976 live album "The Song Remains the Same" Now if we could have all four of them together that would an Ideal Concert. I never got to see Genesis with Gabriel but I have seen them both play seperatley, Floyd Circa 1977 I was fortunate enough to witness first hand. Berlin '90 is a One off event I will never forget, and as for Led Zep I caught them at Knebworth in 79. If there is one thing I miss from home it has to be "Live Music", but other things more than make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Lou Reed 1973 so he can play songs from Berlin Neil Young, Rust Never Sleeps concert around 1979 Bob Dylan, around 1975, 76 when he was at his peak The Clash, around 1978, saw them two nights on the run and very few bands can match the intensity of their live performances The Pogues, around 1985, saw them in the Town and Country Club in London on St Paddies night, best piss up i've ever been to. Oh shit that's 5, sorry Munchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

was_usvirgin Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 USV.......... seen Iggy/Rory and Reed at different times of their careers. top performers. Yeah, those are all acts I've seen multiple times and at smaller venues. I could have substituted a bigger headline band like the Stones for the Kinks, but I've seen the Kinks live more than any other band. Ray Davies is a great performer anyway. Someone on another board mentioned Lou Reed's 1978 song 'Street Hassle' yesterday, so I downloaded it from Limewire. Hadn't heard it in many years. It's about a chick dying of an overdose (supplied by him) right after he bonks her. Very chilling lyrics, and back to basics Lou Reed. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
