Bands (past and present) you'd have loved to see play live?

Cylob · 24th February 2004, 12:19

Which bands haven't you seen live, but would always have loved to?

PWEI (too late, disbanded).

Stereolab
Curve
Primal Scream
The Jesus & Mary Chain (probably too late).

Mega City Four (too late, bastards)!

(to name a few)

Stage-diving at a PWEI gig would've been the ultimate.

Mrs_Mia_Wallace · 24th February 2004, 12:26

As I already have said in the other thread:

Queen and Pink Floyd... way too late but I know it would have been awesome

Mia

Russ · 24th February 2004, 13:01

Without doubt, Pink Floyd.

Cylob · 24th February 2004, 16:23

Yeah, those were perhaps the stadium bands.

I prefer the smaller venues. More atmosphere.

I mean, a pub will do nicely.

marvinbarcelona · 24th February 2004, 19:42

Janis(Pre Woodstock)*
Jimi(Pre Woodstock)*
Robert Johnson (During the legendary two years)
Rolling Stones (post 1966 pre 1970)
Otis Redding
Marvin Gaye (Immediatly following the release of 'Whats Going On' and 'Lets Get it On')
Sam & Dave
Bob Marley (any damn time)
Funkadelic (Post Maggot Brain)
James Brown (circ. 1965)
13th Floor Elevators
Beach Boys (Pet Sounds tour)
King Tubby

* = if you ask 'who?', you'll be taken out back and shot!

Even I - a music know-nothing - didn't ask myself "who" for a second there so I guess all the others will be safe

Mia

marvinbarcelona · 24th February 2004, 20:32

Mia, they are all required listening. May I recommend Funkadelic?

LollipopLustKil · 24th February 2004, 20:35

Floyd
Stevie Ray Vaugn (I think that's how it's spelled)
Sex Pistols

Spazz333 · 24th February 2004, 20:40

Bad Religion, Pennywise, Tsunami Bomb, Pretty much any punk band. We get pretty much solid country bands up here. I'd also kinda like to see Throwing Muses live 'cause I've heard they're really down to earth.

Thanks marvinbarcelona for the advice, I'll check them out

At least I have already seen two of the bands you've listed in concert - only in the wrong time! (and I've only haven't heard of 5 out of your list - that's already something for me)

Mia

omg, to see the legendary jeff buckley would have been phenomenal. and i didnt see anyone mention the beatles.now that would be incredible. and im still waiting for steve vai and joe satriani to come to australia! i still havent seen metallica, i would have liked to see them maybe just after the black album. dc talk, crowded house and the cranberries to name a few others.
hey apola, im so proud that u like the very australian savage garden! they must be my favourite pop band of all time(unless the beatles count as pop). darren hayes is still going around, so u still got half a chance.
and marvinbarcelona...id like to know how old u are, if u dont mind.

Agreed, except for a few things. AC/DC would be nice to see, but I've seen their video (Split Lip or something?), wasn't as good as I thought.

Korn, pre-Untouchables would be better. Untouchables is when they shut down, not Take a Look in the Mirror. Both pretty bad albums.

Rage Against the Machine, incredible. The DVD is awesome, if you haven't got it, buy it, quick.

My dad has this old-ass video of a few AC/DC concerts (From the 80's), and they look like they would be awsome to see live...

There's this one part where Angus goes backstage, and you see him put an oxygen mask on and breathe some nitrous...After that, he walks into the crowd and wails away...That was cool...

[edit]Oh, and yeah...KoRn's "Untouchables" album wasn't really that good, but I still somewhat enjoyed it...I liked their singles "Here To Stay" and "Thoughtless", but other songs that weren't selected like "Bottled Up Inside" was good, and "One More Time" (Although didn't quite fit the usual "KoRn" style) was a nice song that had a good melodic rock style to it, rather than your typical "RAHH!!!" thrash/nu-metal type song...

Xerxes · 26th February 2004, 01:20

I think Niccolo Paganini would have been a great performance to see. The rumor was he made a deal with the devil for his playing ability - all other "death" bands have since stolen his idea.

The consumate showman, he would purposely file down the strings of his violin during Intermission so that way he could cause them one by one to snap - and he then "improvised" the rest of his piece entirely on the E string (The thinnest and highest pitched string)

Sabbath

Eric Clapton - seen him also 3 times
The Band - loved to have been there during the last waltz concerts.
Pink Floyd- never seen them
Camouflage - - too late

Velouria · 6th March 2004, 10:33

The Smiths
Joy Divison (Though I guess New Order are half way there?)
Johnny Cash

And up until recently I'd have said The Pixies, but they've reformed and are touring

ertmann|CPH · 6th March 2004, 12:01

To this day i still regret not going to the Roskilde Festival in 1996.

Some of the Line up that year was; Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sex Pistols, David Bowie, Björk, Cypress Hill, Alanis Morisette, Rage Against The Machine, Sepultura, Foo Fighters, Fun Loving Criminals, Massive Attack, Moby, Moloko, No Doubt, Presidents Of The USA, Skunk Anansie and Leftfield.[more]

Think it's the stongest line up any of the Danish festivals ever had

Raz · 6th March 2004, 16:24

Floyd
Hendrix
Queen

yxs · 6th March 2004, 17:25

Definitely HIM
Queen (like it's gonna happen)
Incubus
Our Lady Peace
Placebo
Matchbox 20
Coldplay

hmm... can't remember more right now...
Wanted to check out Evanescence by curiosity, but gave up that idea, cause I saw them live on tv and it didn't leave the best impression. Quite a few different and poor performances in fact, so it could not have been a "bad day".

Triton4 · 7th March 2004, 15:55

Gloria Estefan / Miami Sound Machine
Baltimora
Duran Duran
New Order

Absolutely, Pink Floyd. I am STILL waiting for pulse to come out on DVD. I had it on Laserdisc a few years ago and it was and is unbelievable.
