VANITY: You could go back in time and see one band live at their peak. Who do you choose?

[bigdaddy45]

Yes, this is a vanity, because in these times we all need a break, and thats why I come here sometimes. So...who do you choose?

[jy8z]

For this old fellow it would be...

[Eccl 10:2]

Hey, I’m from the Cuse and I was at that show. Amazing show. I remember surprisingly that the best song was Cadillac Ranch, with the jam at the end, and the band jumping down the risers with each chorus. Crowd was wild.

[mrsmith]

Rolling Stones at West Palm Beach.

Went but ran out of money and had to go home.
Did see PG&E and King Crimson - fantastic!

I saws Zep in 1975 at the cotton bowl....the old one at the Dallas fairgrounds

I was disappointed

I think Plants voice is weird in its progression

Mo is right ....after Iv it was a little different

But the weird thing ....is it’s been fairly steady since even as an old man..he and Paul Rodgers can still wail

As can Colin Blunstone who’s really old and who’s tone requires serious pipes

I ageee with Jack Black.....greatest ROCK band ever....I just like Pages melody and imagery and sourcing and Plants and Pages lyrics

Jonseys arrangements....what a kind man

And of course Bonzo

You can’t top it

Floyd close second....David Gilmour another institution

Best rock and rolll band....mick and keef......no question

But right now I’m listening g to Who’s Next for the 10001st time

Daltrey still sounds good

This is so subjective and age dependent

Were I under 45 I might say Tool

My little brother might say Maiden

And I like other genres....I think Joy Division and Ian Curtis ...rip deserve to be in the stupid RRHOF

Now it’s love ain’t t for keeping...Makes me want a naked woman....always had...lol...great song

My gen was so blessed with music...probably our greatest boon

Kept me alive I’d been dead by 45 any other era

The Grateful Dead are an institution but are not great ....musically ...and I love them....esp the Pig era

I also like Winwood endeavors and Ronnie Van Zandt

And I think Duane Allman player guitar well as anyone

And SRV....
Were lucky for our music

[wardaddy]

Inspired grunge more than anyone

[wardaddy]

Classical

Bach at the old Freiburg cathedral.....

Bach stands alone....it’s inarguable

[wardaddy]

Pancakes for breakfast!

[wardaddy]

Tulls aqualung / benefit tours were damned awesome

Truly incredible

The guitarist was amazing....I saw benefit album tour I think spring 1971.....unbelievable

Stereo show

Jackson coliseum in Mississippi

Smoke was thick

Mom thought it was oregano..

[dfwgator]

As can Colin Blunstone who’s really old and who’s tone requires serious pipes

You mean "Old and Wise"

[wardaddy]

👍

[wardaddy]

There’s plenty Dead love here...me too

Spruce....only Nebraska

He sucks ....I know it’s a North Atlantic thing...like Scrod

[wardaddy]

Best band ever when coming on the downside of 500-750 mcg of windowpane acid

I love them for that

Pondering the universe as a young man with style and psychedelics

Thank you

Justin, Graham, Ray, and Lodge

What a unique band to come from basically a Dave Clark Five knockoff

[wardaddy]

Seen them 14 times old and new

My old biz partner was their old booking agent

The southern girls who showed up at outdoor venues for me to two tickets from

So many babes in SUVs and pickups....one outdoor show in Rome Ga was incredible for women

[wardaddy]

Wasn’t that show at the forum...I went to one there ..

[wardaddy]

👍

The Jesus of modern music in one sense from which all flows....no question

I loves me some Bach

Baroque not classical

A slight but important distinction...

Bach had some sort of immortal induced talent on loan from God sort of thing....

[wardaddy]

Truth

[wardaddy]

Throw in Duane Eddy

[Political Junkie Too]

Which show?

-PJ

[wardaddy]

I was jimmy buffets driver in Oxford Mississippi in 1978

Ole miss show

He was an asshole

I gave him a handful of blue Valium I had ....made him worse which I didn’t think was possible

The lovely back singer....I mean smoking hot around 30...I was 20....she took pity on me and helped me with him

He had around ten naked ole miss coeds in his room at the holiday inn she and I trying to get him dressed..lol

To get to his Lockheed jet star

Dan Fogleberg was a jerk too

The Doobie bro’s were very nice

As was john Prine

And steve winwood and Bobby Womack and Bonnie bramlett who I lusted for

She came down to play with them....legs and great natural bosom

I was winwood neighbor in later years and now his local wifey in passing ...she’s from Trenton Tenneseee

I’m no celeb glandhandler

Only true celeb I knew well was Waylum....anyone here knows me already knows that

I was on concert committee at ole miss ...we had 50k a semester....not too shabby
