Re: Re: Who would perform in your OWN ultimate Music Festival.
 

I know, I know...random.

I'd probably add some of yours time my list as well...like The Who!!

And BTW!!! Let's stick to artists who are STILL LIVING!!
The Beatles? The Doors? Janis? no.

Re: Re: Re: Who would perform in your OWN ultimate Music Festival.
 

John Coltrane has been dead since before we were born. I'm just following your lead.;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Who would perform in your OWN ultimate Music Festival.
 

Correct. That list was a list from another message board I post on that I copied and pasted...I thought I deleted all the dead ones...in that case, I will remove Stan Getz as well. Oops.. OK, now, lets stick to live artists.

heehee - my own ultimate music festival would be to own a yacht - and in the back on the deck would be several seats. On the port side, we would have Mr. Jimmy Buffett. On the starboard side, Mr. Billy Joel. And we would cruise away knowing that they were both there ready to perform at our request :cool:

This is after I win the 999,999,999,999,999.99 lottery :D
And of course you're all invited ;)

i'm so there!

I wish I would have been around for that one. Do you know if they filmed that one and if its on DvD?

Yeah, a few of those bands are broken up, but they'll regroup for my festival. Don't worry.

and, for comic relief:

i'm going to venture to say that this was just russell's fantasy and it never actually happened..

Just these would be fab too! I've seen OAR, Mraz and Rusted Root. The Dead headlined Bonnaroo last year but we left early because we couldn't wait any longer for a shower. They're also headling this year and I don't plan on missing it this year.

yeah..my list rules :) i've actually seen all of the bands on there except for simon & garfunkel, outkast, nsync and ari hest. i've seen the dead in their previous incarnation - "the other ones" a couple of years ago during the further festival. the only way to describe the vibe in the amphitheater after the show was euphoric. its certainly not the same as seeing the grateful dead.. but at this point its the closest we will come. definately make it a point to see them at the 'roo this year, you won't regret it :)

Also..since everyone' broken the "not including dead artists" rule. I would like to add a handful of some of my favs that are no longer with us.

Jeff Buckley
The Beatles
John Coltrane
Sublime
Stan Getz
Nirvana
Tupac

OK, I have seen Nsync 3 times. Don't laugh. not that I don't like them or anything.

The Cure
New Order
A Flock of Seagulls
Psychadelic Furs
Echo and the Bunnymen
Sting (with and w/o the Police)
Ramones
Matchbox Twenty
John Mayer
Evanescence
Def Leppard
Weird Al Yankovic
Duran Duran
Black Eyed Peas
Beatles (together and solo)
Rolling Stones
Aretha Franklin
The Eagles
Coldplay
Led Zepplin
Living Color
