5 Alive

[rocky]

Let's say that u can wake up in any era and you have tickets to a concert, which 5 would u pick? Now this is not necessarily a list of your fav. all-time performers, like for example u may love Sarah Mclaughlin's music, but would u really want to attend one of her concerts? Also to get a broader view lets leave Danko Jones off the list, OK, here's my list ( of course bear in mind that I'm much older that the rest of y'all)
......................................................................................
1.Jimi Hendrix... the ultimate, for some reason or other I relate Danko Jones to this cat......he was soooo f'n good its sick
2.The Beatles.... Oh God i grew up listening to these guys, they completely turned the whole music world on its ears... absolutely brilliant band, the older they got, the better they became.
3.Led Zeppelin...Right on the heels of the Beatles timeline, much more rock orientated...awesome band
4.Stevie Ray Vaughan...Now I happen to love the blues, nobody was any better that SRV, possibly the best damn guitar player ever (Hendrix or SRV, its a toss-up)....amazing talent.
5.James Brown..The Godfather of soul and funk, famous for his hot live shows. Still going strong.
Honourable mentions...well there's a zillion choices left, lets see...The Who, Elvis, Stones, Elton, Run DMC, Janis Joplin, and on and on....

Guess you mean 1992? I was there to! Still my favourite nr.1 concert of all time!! "It's you surviving the rain, it's you who's gonna be sick tomorrow;)" Saw them again at 2000, but the vibe was gone a bit. I just liked Pinkpop more when they had just 1 stage. One band could make more impact then, because everyone watched it all at the same time. Now it's like...did Danko Jones play?...well didn't see him because I was at the other stage...listening to some Moby dude...that kind of thing.
(man...I'm just gettin' old )

Well this is my list;

JIMI HENDRIX (even if he was in a bad mood, or trippin' on some bad acid, he would still play the stars right of the sky!) I want to talk forever about this guy, but I think I have to start a new topic...
THIN LIZZY (with Phil ofcourse) Guess Danko would be there to!
FREE Seeing Paul Kossoff playin' the solo from Mr.Big would be my altime high!
LED ZEPPELIN Bonzo bangin' the drums, that would be great...
JOHNNY CASH together with the inmates at Folsom Prison ;D

sorry i meant '92 ;D i just saw footage, i wish i was there, but i was like 7/8 years

[NattyDread]

this is tough

1. Death...one of the most influential bands in the metal genre. the singer/guitarist and mastermind chuck schuldiner passed away two years ago. (couldn't pay the cancer treatment...it's a sick world we live in)

2. Johnny Cash...jacky said everything

3. Kyuss...in the desert, at sunset.

4. The Misfits...with glen danzig. this would have been so funny.

5. Alice in Chains...at their mtv unplugged gig.

[Tidyman]

1. The Beatles - after White Album
2. Run DMC - anywhere in NYC after Raising Hell
3. The Ramones at CBGB's
4. Danko Jones in Stockholm - one day I'm gonna make this happen
5. Jimi Hendrix in a smaller venue

Honorable mention: One of Jonny Cash's prison shows, Nirvana in Seattle, Sonic Youth, Public Enemy in NYC, Biggie and Tupac anywhere, Motorhead, Led Zepplin, Prince (yeah, I said it)! Jay-Z's farewell show at Madison Square Gardens.

Yes, maybe when you come by and pay your dept from our bet...

[Tidyman]

You know Sac, I've never held a euro before. I'm going to keep yours on my fridge next to my Australian $10 I won from another bet. It's gonna be sweet.

Either that or I'll just by us both beer until the money's gone.

[Sac]

That second option sounds more interesting! ;D If your money ends, Im sure as hell are going to add all mine!!! Who knows, we might even get intoxicated.
