If you could see anyone / any band in concert, who would you choose?

[Binney on acid]

They have to be alive and still playing together.

I've been lucky enough to see Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Dylan, The Stones, The Who, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Leonard Cohen, Yusuf Islam and & just about everyone else close up and personal in small auditoriums. I never had the opportunity to see the likes of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Taste, Sandy Denny or The Shoes live. The one artist that I'd love to see is Rick Springfield and I've just bought a ticket to see him at Shepherds Bush Empire on June 4th. Am really excited.

Which living artist / group would you most like to see?

 

[Hampden Park]

Split Enz

 

[Norman Potting]

Currently - Bellowhead.

Historically - Dr Feelgood original line up.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Arctic Monkeys. Would love to have seen The Kinks or The Smiths.

 

[Gwylan]

Now - Tom Waits
Historically, The Velvet Underground in 1967

 

[Garage_Doors]

Sex Pistols.

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Fleetwood Mac at Glastonbury

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

The original 4 members of The Who

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Of all the bands which are alive and still together, as the OP specified, no one springs to mind other than Atoms For Peace but I will be seeing them shortly.

 

[Icy Gull]

Dawes and Wilco, I'd even queue up for the tickets for a couple of hours and travel oooh at least 100 miles

 

[Dowling93]

Metallica

 

[Soulman]

Iv'e seen many bands, solo artists etc.
I would have liked to have seen the original Earth Wind and Fire, 1980/81.

 

[1066familyman]

Stimmhorn

 

[catfish]

ZZ Top.

 

[Stat Brother]

I'm surprised I'm the first in with The Clash.

I saw Strummer in Brighton, but it's not the same.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

ZZ Top.

They're touting this summer; maybe your chance will come?

 

[KJP]

Dire Straits

Oh didn't see the still playing bit, probably Weezer and maybe Kasabian or Arctic Monkeys

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'm surprised I'm the first in with The Clash.

I saw Strummer in Brighton, but it's not the same.

It's current bands.

David Bowie for me - hope he tours the new album although that's far from certain. Seeing sigur Ros tonight in Brixton and that's a band I've always wanted to see, so looking forward to that.
