which gig do you most wish you'd seen....

[Mr. T.]

Great Thread

Any Buffalo Springfield show at The Sunset Strip.
Any Tonight's The Night show from 1973 but preferably one in the UK (they were even more mad than the Roxy shows he did)
CSNY in Wembley 1974
Last Waltz
Queen in Wembley (don't know the year)
Nirvana (early days pleeezz; Dragonboy: I'm SO jealous)
REM, anywhere between 1981 and 1983
Blaze Foley live at the Austin Outhouse
Jacques Brel
Leonard Cohen anyplace, anytime

And of course, many many more...  ;)

If I could time travel, only once, for one performance... it would have to be for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Since he had no particular 'prime' in my eyes, so I wouldn't care when, where, or which performance I saw exactly...

I've been heartbroken about missing the two MMJ shows with the Boston Pops... God damnit.... heartbroken.

Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison - I would have killed to have seen that show  ;)
 

Great choice.  Funny pun. ;D

i feel for you deanna - i've only seen nick & the bad seeds once, about 4 years ago (still with blixa in the lineup) and it was GREAT. if you ever get the opportunity, jump at it!! its just a pity that blixa's moved on to greener pastures, as i've never seen a man scream like him... eery. nick is the man though  8)

you're right ali, blixa is by far the best sreamer ever.  

a few off the top of my head:

netural milk hotel
miles davis (up until about 1975, but particularly 1968-1972)
john coltrane
soft boys
pink floyd (with syd)
afghan whigs (more than the one time i saw them)
faith no more (ANGEL DUST tour)
elliott smith (any where, any time)
captain beefheart & the magic band

Blixa rules. The Weeping Song video remains an absolute favorite. ;D

[ratsprayer]

the sceam at the end of stagger lee sounds like a fucking animal, not a human

also, mike patton is a very close second in screaming.

[Dee.]

Stagger Lee has a great video too.

And I agree about Patton.  

How DO they do it?  :)

faith no more (ANGEL DUST tour)

I saw the Angel Dust tour at Brixton Academy in the UK. Can't remember the show for the life of me so I'll lie & say it was amazing!
I'd love to see Nick Cave, I have no idea if he's ever toured Japan...
