What would be your perfect concert?

[crazzz2007]

You can pick one [1] headliner and one [1] opener.

The acts must still be alive. If they have split up, there must be a realistic possibility of a reunion.

My pick....

Portishead opening for Radiohead.

[amyzzz]

Well, damn. You can end it right there because that's who I would choose.

[All That I Am]

you win game over

[crazzz2007]

wow, it's unanimous?

[suprefan]

I had this discussion with a friend of mine. We did it as a like day festival thing. 1 headliner and 4 openers. But I'll just stir the pot a bit.


At The Drive In with Refused opening.

[disgustipated]

Tool opening for Pink Floyd.

[ThomThom]

crazzz...that was quick wasn't it? (That would have been my choice as well)

[thelastgreatman]

Radiohead for Floyd.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Arcade Fire opening for The Smiths.

E

[crazzz2007]

crazzz...that was quick wasn't it? (That would have been my choice as well)

ya, i had no idea that there would be more than one person with the exact same picks, considering the thousands of acts out there.

[PotVsKtl]

[ ] Why? / Bowie.
[ ] Drive Like Jehu / Fugazi.
[x] Newsom / Bjork.

Almost there.

Edited due to Wire being old.

[suprefan]

Arcade Fire opening for The Smiths.

E

Arcade Fire opening for Talking Heads, there we go.

[amyzzz]

anybody-but-arcade-fire opening for The Smiths.

[Yablonowitz]

Sam Cooke opening for Buddy Holly.

or

Buddy Holly opening for Sam Cooke.

[SojuGorae]

Arcade Fire opening for Nikelback/Matchbox 20

that would RAWK, brah'

[DeltaSigChi4]

Go to hell and do your pick right, amy.

Bitch.

E

EDIT: And if I didn't think you were half amusing [SG], I would be upset by your trolling.

[thelastgreatman]

Delta opening for Me.

Then after the show, opening for me.

[amyzzz]

That concert would be hell....followed by heaven.

[bmack86]

Sam and Dave opening for Otis Redding.

That'd be killer.

Cept they're dead, and I don't read.

Radiohead opening for Pink Floyd would be damn cool

[ThomThom]

Portishead opening for Radiohead would be the ultimate concert experience for me, there's a chance it may happen at next year's Coachella...

[Yablonowitz]

Hendrix opening for Dylan (mid-60's era).

[luckyface]

Mogwai opening for Pink Floyd.

[ThomThom]

Hendrix opening for Dylan (mid-60's era).

sweet jesus...I would ask to be put down immediately after a show like that. There would be no reason to see anything ever again.

[PotVsKtl]

I'm going to go ahead and demand you pay attention to the rules as a result of your willful ignorance diminishing the genius of my answers.

[suprefan]

Zeppelin with Tool opening


Hendrix opening for Dylan (mid-60's era).

Hendrix opened for Zeppelin in the 60's one time.

[i_like_cake530]

Arcade Fire opening for Talking Heads, there we go.

Arcade Fire and Talking Heads play together

[Yablonowitz]

The acts must still be alive.

Fuck.

[amyzzz]

Catherine Wheel opening for the Kronos Quartet and Mogwai doing The Fountain soundtrack.

I could die after that show.

[ThomThom]

I'm going to go ahead and demand you pay attention to the rules as a result of your willful ignorance diminishing the genius of my answers.

My choice was Portishead/Radiohead, I just agreed to Yablo's comment about Hendrix/Dylan being amazing.

[suprefan]

Sigur Ros opening for Bjork, the power of Iceland!!!

[amyzzz]

Sigur Ros opening for Bjork, the power of Iceland!!!
That's a good one.

[luckyface]

Planningtorock opening for itself.

[bmack86]

Pot, your final of three shows breaks my heart so much. I wish I could have gone to that show. There's no way it would have been anything less than brilliant.

I'm not sure if I'd be interested in seeing Wire now, as they don't play material from the old albums, which are so damn good. Bowie and Why? would be miraculous.

And, I retract my Pink Floyd/Radiohead statement.

Olivia Tremor Control opening for Talking Heads. That'd be amazing.

[ThomThom]

Sigur Ros opening for Bjork, the power of Iceland!!!


With a special guest spot for the Sugarcubes

[invisiblerobots]

If they have split up, there must be a realistic possibility of a reunion.

Well, that rules out the Smiths.

[nahuatldream]

David Bowie opening for Pink Floyd

[Yablonowitz]

The White Stripes opening for Tom Waits.

[crazzz2007]

Portishead opening for Radiohead would be the ultimate concert experience for me, there's a chance it may happen at next year's Coachella...

this is what i'm hoping for

[PotVsKtl]

I'm not sure if I'd be interested in seeing Wire now, as they don't play material from the old albums

[leo01g]

Sigur Ros opening for Pink Floyd or Radiohead

[Pixiessp]

Etta james opening for Al Green

Oh mama!!!!!

[bmack86]

I don't picture Etta opening for Al. Both are legends in their own right. I don't think that brother Al would let that happen, regardless of public draw. Etta has been an important fixture in the soul scene since the early 60s, and Al's been going since the late 60s. He might be more well known, but he has more respect than that.

[suprefan]

Sigur Ros opening for Radiohead


Already happend.

[bmack86]

Don't matter. Pot's statement of Joanna opening for Bjork has already happened, but it doesn't mean that I wouldn't kill to see it.
