Re: BANDS you would have LOVED TO SEEN LIVE and NEVER EVER will be able to....TOP 3

I know, THE BEATLES, of course........well, they DID NOT MAKE MY TOP THREE......there are sooooooo many bands that I did not get to experience LIVE because of my age, location, rock and roll history......but if this were a FANTASY that would come true........MY TOP THREE WOULD BE:
1. THE WHO with KEITH MOON ( I saw them in '82---good, but not the originals)
2. THE CLASH ----still a bummer about MICK...I bet there could have been a reunion?????
3. QUEEN ---- bummer that THE USA did not embrace them enough other than what was played on 70's Radio stations/early 80's....not many tours in the USA in my time......a voice that could NEVER be replaced??? HEY WAIT A MINUTE, what about the guy from THE DARKNESS???? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!



KILLER SITE!!!!!

blanton/webster ellington band 1938

velvets and nico at the dom. 67

monk/trane 5 spot 57

hendrix/soft machine tour 67 (?)

howlin wolf anytime anywhere

big star with chris bell

paganini

armstrong/waller 1926

white riot tour: buzzcocks, clash, slits, subway sect, jam

My dad saw Paganini - way overrated.

The Who circa 1970 would have been nice.

Bob Dylan and The Hawks circa 1965 would be nicer.

Dear Senor Pimpster:

Saw the who's next tour--we were driven to Clevo's Allen Theater by friend's mom!!--but what really matters is that i indeed forgot the Dylan ref, because I was torn between basement tape eyewitness aspect--free booze!--or 66 Manchester concert and those carnaby street babes.


Judas!

(Saw the born-again tour--ugh)

Judas!

ALICE COOPER CIR '72/ SLADE/CANNED HEAT/
REPLACEMENTS/SUBURBS/SMALL FACES OR HUMBLE PIE/ JOHN COOPER CLARKE

Hmmm...the White Riot tour...the lineup was infamous but only after the fact. Seems like people who were there didn't think they were good shows aside fom the short cultural relevance (though that counts cuz with all live experiences, u 'had to be there'). That's one strange thing about this wish list - so many bands that seem good now were not good live at the time while the opposite is also true (the G. Dead were tortuous on album). Some say the Stones actually weren't great live 'til the 81 tour. BUT...I never got to see Zeppelin, or Jimi.

saw Humble Pie in the 80's before STEVE MARRIOT died......good show was with Shirley on drums too........by the way, WHAT EVER happened to JOHN COOPER CLARKE??? Great hairstyle back then.......

the first rapper

how about a core outta the big apple? (sorry bands from buffalo are excluded) the dolls, sic f*cks, vacant lot, dictators, television, ramones, (mr baker copped the front row seats to VU already) blondie, billy millers A-Bones, blue oyster cult and utensil.

My brother took me to more concerts when I was a kid than I can recall; "babysitting" at home was not his thing on the night of a really good concert, and Oklahoma liquor-by-the-drink laws were really flexible, so I actually saw a lot of great ones/rare ones when I as a kid. So...

Zappa on the Broadway the Hard Way Tour (art, music, politics and underwear)
Dylan and the Band circa Before the Flood
Otis Redding, anytime, any venue.

back to the big apple...and the fleshtones.

Woody Guthrie?

Hendrix
Zappa in Helsinki ?72?
XTC
R. Hell & The Voidoids
The Last Waltz
Rust Never Sleeps
Gentle Giant
Nektar
Wishbone Ash

Sorry, rambling again.

I did get to see Buffalo Springfield/Iron Butterfly when I was 9.
Sonic Youth/Neil Young '90
Tom Waits
King Crimson Double Trio
