Beatles
Ed Sullivan

I would wear my birthday suit

Cheap Trick
Live at Budikon

I would wear all of the japanese girls panties

Led Zeppelin “How the West Was Won”. California summer of ‘72…the wine and weed flowing…I don’t think it can be topped.

The songs off of “From the Muddy Banks of the Whishkah” by Nirvana that were from “Live and Loud”. Nirvana at New Years, what an awesome show that was.

Band OF Gypsies
New Years
at the Filmore East
Jimi at his best and to hear “Machine Gun” live I could finaly die happy.

The Last Waltz
Allman Bros. at Fillmore East
Aretha at Fillmore West
Ray Charles Live at Newport
Miles Davis at the Blackhawk
Coltrane at the Vanguard
Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock, Band of Gypsys

This won’t go down massively well, but mine’s ‘And All That Could Have Been’ by Nine Inch Nails. It’s very cleaned up, but every single tune just blows the album version out of the water. Just listen to the first track, Terrible Lie. It’s a monster, and it only gets better from there. If I want to listen to Closer, that’s the version I go for….

Pink Floyd – “Is There Anybody Out There? (The Wall Live)”. Not a great live album really, but I would die to have been there at one of those concerts. Of course I would wear all black clothes with a hammer logo on the suirt, and if I was lucky enough, one of those masks that the audiences received.

shirt

Get Yer Ya-Yas Out

U2 “Wide Awake in America”

The Doors
Hot pink shorts and a white tank top with red beads sewn into it

The 68 Comeback Special

The King in all his glory

Our Lady Peace – Live

Queen at Wembley, 1986. That would’ve been amazing.

Second place, maybe the Freddie tribute in ‘92. There’s bands I love more than Queen, but none that I think would’ve put on a more spectacular live show.

Dylan’s 1966 Royal albert Hall.

Not my favorite live album ever, but it has huge historical significance, and I’d love to see Dylan saying “fuck you” to everyone.

Maybe the Stone’s “Gimme Shelter” free concert at Altamont. Violent as crap. Maybe try to stop the guy from getting killed.

My favorite live album;s either Allman Bros.’ Fillmore East or Cheap Trick’s At Budokan.

how the west was won would be the one reason I wish I was born 20 years earlier. Could care less what I wore.

Hendrix – WOODSTOCK

The Who- Live At Leeds
INXS- Live Baby Live
Johnny Cash- Live at Folsom Prison
Woodstock
Live Aid/Live 8

Pearl Jam Boston Concert #3…

Saw Jimi at Woodstock! Nothing comes close to that and I have seen it all…Cream at the garden in 2005 was moving…the WHO opening for the Doors at the Singer bowl was raw…Jagger and the Stones with Justin Timberlake doing a duet on Miss You in Toronto…Springsteen at the Jazzfest last April was touching…McCartney and Bennett doing a duet at Neil’s Bridge Benefit several years ago was heartfelt…but Jimi…He is the MAN! Maybe this year’s Crossroads fest will be on my wall of fame…

I would absolutely love to see “Bullet in a Bible”.

Nirvana “Unplugged in New York,” or a Foo Fighters albums called “Brain Damage,” which I think was an import or a bootleg of a concert they did in Leeds around “Nothing Left to Lose” time. They didn’t play “Break Out, (I’m not sure if it had come out yet) but that’s all.

Earl’s Court 1975 with Led Zeppelin. In My Time of Dying, the acoustic set and the solo from Stairway are magic.

What would I wear? Who cares!

KISS Alive 2 at the L.A. Forum.1977

bob dylan – royal albert hall

Ac/dc live it would have been a hell of a show to go to.

First Kiss Alive album from 1975 at Cobo Arena in Detroit… AWESOME live record!!

Hank Williams- On Stage
What would I wear? Eh.

Neil Diamond-Hot August Night (1972)

The greatest live rock n roll record ever.I would have loved to been there (even though I was not born yet)

WOODSTOCK….all three days
I was born to late in a world that dosent care….
oh i wsh i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair !!!!!!

Neil Sedaka live at Budakan

Elizabeth Goodman live at Red Rocks with The Black Crowes

I’d love to see the Black Crowes with Elizabeth Goodman. This would rock!

Nirvana- Unplugged in New York.

I have seen people talking about how there was just something special in the air that night.

Midnight Oil
Scream in Blue Live

Without a doubt in my mind, The Allman Brothers Band at The Fillmore East. In March of ‘71 I was only 14…this album and the series of shows they came from represent the peak of their creativity and genius.

Cheap Trick – Live at Budakon

I would’ve worn the girls as meat gloves.

The Last Waltz!!!
and Jimi at Woodstock
i would have loved to be in the crowd for one of the Beatles’ early shows at the cavern!

anything from “Frampton Comes Alive”

Woodstock, hands down.

Earl’s Court in 1975, Led Zeppelin live would have been great. Unfortunatley I’m to young and I’ll never get the chance.

Talking Heads – Stop Making Sense

I’d wear an X-Large Suit Coat

Donny Hathaway-”These Songs For You,Live!”

Erykah Badu-”Live”(really feeling the freestyle she did on “On & On” by the way)

Jimi Hendrix-”Jimi Hendrix:Live At Berkley”

Janis Joplin-”Joplin In Concert”

Fleetwood Mac-”The Dance”

During the ’60’s and 70’s,a black or burgundy leather jacket.a dope hat(like the ones Stevie and in this case Donny wore)and bell bottoms.During the ’90’s,Stussy and Johnny Blaze gear.And those fly,black rimmed,tinted rectangular shades that came in your favorite colors that exploded in the late ’90’s.So serious!

the who… live at leeds… no doubt!! plus, the bob dylan 30th anniversary concert… imagine seeing Dylan, Petty, Young, Harrison and Clapton rocking out to My Back Pages with the Heartbreakers backing… amazing!

live at leeds. i don’t give a crap what i would be wearing. as long as i got to see that concert. people at leeds university in 1970 were some lucky people…

Johnny Cash Live at Folsom Prison, definatly wearing soap on a rope…..

any of the three live albums by the J. Geils Band, one of the best live acts ever to hit a stage

from the muddy banks of wishka- Nirvana

The Mark Tom and Travis Show- Blink-182

james brown- live at the apollo

shirt that says “don’t hate me cuz i’m white”

U2- Under a Blood Red Sky

That was a magical night in colorado

Deep Purple – Made In Japan

oh my goodness. i know this officially gives me complete loser status… but i would see Rush in when they played Broon’s Bane and the Trees that is on Exit…Stage Left. Those are possibly the two best songs by them. (not to mention that they fade flawlessly into one another)

soundgarden any tour!

Lynyrd Skynyrd – One More For The Road Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA

AC/DC LIVE
Neil Young Live at Massey Hall

I would sit in at the studio session that the 13th Floor Elevators did in 1967. The band added crowd noise and passed it off as a live album. They are a favorite band, and I’d see if I could sing back-up or do anything to get on the record. That way I could be live on a non-live album that everyone thinks is live.

1) Pink Floyd, “Is There Anybody Out There” – THE WALL LIVE
2) Black Sabbath, “Live At Last” – anybody who saw the original Sabbath live said it was like watching rock Gods in action.
3) Phish, “Live in Brooklyn” – Instead of the muddy, miserable mess that was Coventry.
4) The Smiths, “The Butterfly Collector” – Oh, to have seen The Smiths on their third-ever live gig!
5)Sublime, “Stand by Your Van” – Just imagine seeing Sublime live!

the allman brothers band, live at the fillmore east. that show just went all night and is one of the greatest live albums iv ever heard. also duane allmans solo during In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is one of the greatest solos of all time and the fastest trill iv ever heard

I would defintely see any Led Zeppelin show (especially those in the mid-70’s), and the Allman Bros. at the Fillmore East 1970 (which still blows my mind everytime i listen to it). I saw the Allman Bros. recently, and they were absolutely AMAZING!!!! I can only imagine how it was back in 1970.

Midnight Oil – 1984 “Oils On The Water” concert on Goat Island, Sydney harbour. Peter Garrett dissed the French and nuclear testing in the pacific something fierce.

I’d be the one wearing the freakin’ huge grin from ear-to-ear !

The Who-Live at Leeds
The album absolutely captured whatever that “IT” is that the Who have…wow!
It was recorded with four microphones in a school cafeteria by the Who’s sound engineer Bob Pridden.
Just incredible….and they say that the show the night before was recorded and was even better
but someone lost it!
Of course I would dress like a Mod…

Since no one else will admit it, I’d say Bob Seger at Cobo Hall in ‘75 for the “Live Bullet” album. I’d be wearing a huge smile!

Iron Maiden at “Rock in Rio.”

I would wear tight black jeans and a metal tee.

And I would totally sell my soul to do it.

Cheap Trick At Budokan
The Who Live Leeds
Jimi Hendrix at Berkley
JOHNNY CASH at Folsom Prison
Nivana…
The Smiths…
Neil young…
all would have been amazing to be at

i’m old enough to be your dad so iwas actually at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, on halloween night 1968. iwas wearing buffalo sandels blue jeans and a stooges tshirt it got hot as hell in there and it was the first concert i attended that the crowd jumped up in mass and heaved up and down with the beat.Wayne Kramer and Sonic Smith’s guitars were ear shaterring

the live album i’m talking about is Kick out the Jams by the MC5 it was an eye opening night. i didn’t think the intensity of this show could be matched,but 2 weeks later across town i was fortunate to see the stooges at the height of their power

Pink Floyd-Is there anybody out there?
Woodstock 69
Neil Young-Massey Hall
Iron Maiden-Live after death

Ramones “It’s Alive” is the greatest live album of all time, so that’s my pick – London, New Years Eve 1977.

nirvana- unplugged in new york. what else would i wear? ripped jeans and a flannel shirt duuhh!

Derek & The Dominos at The Filmore.

Why DOES love got to be so sad?

I’d be sporting huge bell bottoms.

My Morning Jacket, Okonokos
Nirvana, MTV unplugged
Pearl Jam, easy street

ANYTHING by The Smiths, ANYTHING by Iron Maiden, but mostly BULLET IN A BIBLE BY GRRRRRRREEN DAY!
And after that, I’d stop by Folsom Prison to catch “Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart”.

Wait a minute….I know it would definately be Green Day, but there was that one concert around the “Insomniac” era where they had a huge mud-fight with the crowd and the bassist got his teeth knocked out!! Back when Billie had blue hair….yeah. I’d give up anything go to that. I’ve got Bullet in a Bible on DVD anyway.

A couple come to mind

1. Woodstock

3.Cheap Trick – At Budokan would have been a good one. Great music and thousands of Asian Ladies.
4. Monterey Pop Festival
5. Grateful Dead – Either at the Avalon Ballroom or the Fillmore West. Pigpen Lives!!!
6.The Sex Pistols – Any of the American shows. Love a good train wreck. Once in a while.
7. Velvet Underground – Anywhere in NYC would have been great.
8. Cream – Royal Albert Hall Show – The last one in 68.
9. The Band – The Last Waltz Show.
10. The Stooges – In Detroit – late sixties.

Just thought of two more

Bob Dylan and The Hawks – I doubt I would have been booing because they decided to plug in.

Altamont – For several reasons
1. Gram Parsons
2. Seeing Marty Balin imitate Ali
3. Get my head beaten over with a pool stick by some 300 lb. Hell’s Angel. Ooch! That hurts!!
4. Seeing Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman stone faced while fans get beaten up around them.
5. I would had worn nothing to this concert. I would not had been out of place.

Definitely Little Feat’s Waiting for Columbus live show. Zeppelin in ‘73. Van Halen in ‘78. ‘Nuff said.
