If you were to put on a music festival...

ryan8472 · #1 01-28-2005, 09:13 PM

What bands would you invite? And what would the festival be for? Would it be a benefit? Etc...

Yay for randomness threads.

Almost as random as that Frank Sinatra boot.

Good question, though...

If I could pick ANYONE:

David Bowie and Tina Turner together
Blondie (naturally)
Lindsey Buckingham
Juliette and the Licks (they're phenomenal)
Talking Heads
Television
The Motels
Nancy Sinatra
A reformed 'Til Tuesday (one can dream...)
Tangerine Dream
Cyndi Lauper
Eurythmics
The Pretenders a la the Isle of View album
Iggy Pop and Debbie Harry together
Thompson Twins
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Heart
Jefferson Airplane (with Grace and Marty, of course)
Bonnie Raitt
Bob Dylan and Joan Baez together
Franz Ferdinand (no ****, eh?)

All proceeds would naturally benefit the homeless.

It would be a live by request in genre with a symphony - the performers would be:

Stevie Nicks - classics like At Last

Carly Simon - her songs

Culture Club - their songs and classics like "Crying Game"

Rolling Stones - Satisfaction with a woodwind section

Christine McVie - solo on piano

Natalie Merchant - solo on piano

Closing - the B-52's with Cindy!!!!!! (LOVE HER)

This is a nice list. I'm gonna add FM/Stevie, and No Doubt, and naturally, all proceeds would go to Earthjustice...

Edit - Oh, yeah, I totally want the cars, too.

Well, here's mine....BTW, you can have any act you want, whether they are together or not.

I'd put on a benefit for the homeless and hungry of our own country. I don't know about a name though....

The festival would be held at Yankee Stadium

All bands would play a full set. The bands would start to perform at 9:00 AM, and the scheduale would go like this:

1. Berlin (9:00)
2. The Cars (10:00)
3. The Killers (11:00)
4. Duran Duran (12:00)
5. The Pretenders (1:00)
6. Siouxsie & The Banshees (2:00)
7. Franz Ferdinand (3:00)
8. Pat Benatar (4:00)
9. Tom Petty (5:00)
10. Blondie (6:00)
11. Talking Heads (7:00)
12. Fleetwood Mac (8:00)
13. David Bowie (9:00)
14. U2 (10:00)

*Meet the bands time*

Let us not forget The Motels with the utterly fabulous Martha Davis and Jefferson Airplane WITH the goddess we call Grace!

I'm going to have to edit my list.

I specificcally left the Mac out because a benefit concert is not the place for Mick's vesturbation. Stevie would only get to perform if her setlist was vetted by me personally. No Dreams, Rhiannon, or **** like that.

I LOVE MATRHA DAVIS - and we would have a table with spilled drinks on it so she could do the "Only the Lonely" ending video shot

Grace would HAVE to be tripping or no deal

But all the other people could perform whatever they wanted, right? Why is a benefit concert not the place for Mick's vesturbation? I'm confused. I mean, I don't particularly want to see that again, but...

Because his vesturbation would cheapen my benefit show and I wouldn't have it. That's why.

As for the others performing what they wanted, yup. They know how to spice it up, unike Miss Nicks.

So, it's only the genius that is Lindsey at this point...

Have LB do a bit with David (Byrne, that is), and it'd be grrreat.

whatev. I added her to my list, so she'll be at mine. I would encourage her not to do Dreams...

Oh, and i don't think Bob dylan is to "spicy" these days...

I wouldn't care if she did Dreams if she could still sing it like she used to...

That would give me heart palpitations. Seriously.

I would require Byrne, Lindsey, and Debbie to perform Attack of the Giant Ants together.
