3 Live Shows you need to see

[Elvis Presley]

This is a thread that I thought of after meegies last one about the best shows you have seen this year...
So, what band or solo act is on your short list that you have to see? You cannot have seen them before, and they must be current, (not broken up or dead)

1) REM (still kicking myself for not finding the time on this tour)
2) Bob Dylan (this should change, the man is ageless)
3) Natalie Merchant (im in love with her usually)

 

[IWasBored]

1. u2
2. bruce sprinsteen
3. pearl jam

 

[U2Lynne]

1. U2, of course
2. David Gray
3. Springsteen and Coldplay

you broke all the rules...

 

[DiGi]

This makes me think about some of the great bands I have seen.

REM
The Beastie Boys
Badly Drawn Boy


I am sure I am missing some

Think of all the spin-off threads this could start. Bands you have skipped, bands that are no longer that you would love to see, etc

 

[Laura M]

Bob Dylan
Van Morrison ( does he even tour anymore over here ?)(I must see this man !!! Voice of GOD ! )
Morrissey.......I used to love The Smiths , still do actually , so I'm pulling for a reunion tour,very unlikely I know ...

Van the man does still play concerts - he had one here not all that long ago and I think hes playing somewhere in England as well before November


He was related to a girl I used to be friendly at school with whenever she said she was related him it took me like an hour to believe they could be related...she even had the surname Morrison - I am so smart

 

[Laura M]

My friends dad is like a music agent/ promoter or something I am not really sure and Van had asked him to work for him while he was working on some new album and apparently he is really hot tempered - I heard so many hilarious stories

 

[mandy1973]

Hmm, lets see, I've seen alot of the bands I want to see, but of course I'd love to see U2, REM and Coldplay again. As for bands I have never seen:

Travis
Robbie Williams (who isn't bothering to come to Adelaide this time around, we don't matter apparently)
Pearl Jam
and I REALLY regret not seeing Nirvana when I had the chance
Cheers, Mandy

 

[Strato Edge]

U2
REM
Radiohead

 

[kariatari]

Springsteen
The Who (half dead's ok, right?)
Aimee Mann


EP, if you do go see Bob Dylan, make it be in a more intimate setting along the lines of a 2,000 seat venue or something. I saw him a few years back at a state fair and wasn't all that impressed, but then I caught him later at a small theater and it was a great show.

If I go and see "Masked and Anyonomous", does that count?

 

[zonelistener]
