What I Wouldn't Do To See...
Today I was asked the question what band would I want to see the most live, either dead or alive. For me it’s quite an obvious choice but after going past my number one choice I really had to think about it. I’ve come to this list.1. Pink Floyd – My favorite band and aside from being my most favorite band they also put on a fantastic show. The lighting, the sound, the visuals, everything Floyd does live is just perfect. If only I could have seen them, I could only pray that they will form together for a live show but I highly doubt they will. I guess I will have to settle for Gilmour and Wright but that sure isn’t a bad thing.
2. Rage Against the Machine – Yes, Rage… I’ve never talked about them on my blog but I can assure you that I listen to them often. Not only do I listen but I watch, I have two of their live DVD’s and the energy of the band just can’t even be described. I’ve seen the remainder of the band who is with Audioslave and they put on such a great show although I’m not a big fan of the music. Zach De La Rocha and Tom Morello are just a force on stage. Once again I highly doubt I’ll ever see them but it would sure be a treat.
3. The Doors (With Jim Morrison) – I’ve seen a few videos of them live and Jim Morrison is just incredible on stage (when he’s not passed out on the floor.) Great music and Jim Morrison… You can’t ask for much more.
4. Jimi Hendrix – The only thing better than his studio albums are his live ones. His guitar work is ridiculous and would be one incredible thing to watch. He also has such a great vibe on stage and what I wouldn’t do to see him light his guitar on fire…
5. Metallica – Another band who puts on a fantastic live show and has such a large amount of incredible music. This is one band who I do have a good chance of seeing and hopefully this year.
I would like to hear from anybody else who could compile a small list of bands they want to see.

The Bands/Artists i would most like to see are
1. Jack Johnson- fanatastically talented musician.
2. Stabilo-another great group, seriously under rated if you ask me.
3. Oscar Peterson-Piano Jazz man extrodinaire.
4. Godsmack- tons of attitude, pretty damn good lyrics too.
5. Metallica- Definately have to agree with you on that on, already seen them twice but would love to see them again, they put on one hell of a show.
Posted my list here. Excellent topic, I think.
I saw Godsmack a few years back and I was shocked on how great of a show they put on. There was a really awesome part where Sully was on drums and I never realized that he was a talented drummer. It was very impressive, he had a good 10 minute drum solo.
1. Led Zeppelin
2. The Doors (with Jim of course)
3. Rich Mullins
4. U2 - again and again and again
5. Jimi Hendrix
Great question! May have to link to you on this one :)
Led Zep is definitely a good choice, and U2 was by far the best show I've ever seen.
Good-ass taste, man!
I'd love to sit in a corner and watch the Beatles (circa '68) recording in the studio.
I'd love to sit center stage five rows back for a Glenn Gould performance before he quit playing live.
I'd love to be on a city bus and have The White Stripes hop on and play a few songs acoustic.
I'd love to be in the front row mass of a KISS homeshow back in the day and somehow not have beer spilled on me.
I'd love to see a small acoustic set by Springsteen.
These just came to mind spontaneously.
Peace.
