Bands you haven't seen live that you want to see.

[DipDipDive]

List bands/artists that you haven't seen live yet and really want to see before they break up/their members die/they lose their shine. And please list bands/artists that can feasibly perform at this point in history. If you say The Beatles, I'll smack you one.

[DIGI]

I would love to see The Flaming Lips and Kings of Leon.



Ween kicked off their American Tour in Pittsburgh last night. Amazing. I am not shitting you, they are the best live act on the planet. If you have a chance to see them, do it.

[cookiepuss]

David Bowie
Prince
Bruce Springsteen


to name a few....

[DipDipDive]

sigur ros.

I'm more than likely seeing them in September and I'm fucking geeked. I've heard they're amazing live.

My Morning Jacket

Seeing them in October for the second time. Another amazing act.

I would love to see The Flaming Lips and Kings of Leon.

Ween kicked off their American Tour in Pittsburgh last night. Amazing. I am not shitting you, they are the best live act on the planet. If you have a chance to see them, do it.

I advise you the same with Kings of Leon. Saw them at Bonnaroo in '05 and they fucking rocked for real.

[DipDipDive]

Also, I want to see Radiohead again (I'm breaking the rules of my own thread, but it's my thread which means I can do that, so shut up). I had a spiritual awakening during their set at Bonnaroo. Could have been the weed cookie talking, so I need another viewing to serve as the control for the experiment.

[Lyman Zerga]

David Bowie


yes!

i was THIS close to see him live but a day before the concert he decided to get heart problems.. bastard!

also add bryan ferry, daft punk and the beastie boys to my list

[DipDipDive]

daft punk

Oooooooooh, yeah. There's one I forgot. (y)

[Caribou]

Yeah I'd like to see Daft Punk, just to see what the fuss is about.

Sigur Ros. (I'll see them @ the lowlands festival and maybe in november when they play in Amsterdam)
The Cure (played here a couple of months ago, but I had to work. :'(
Pulp (I only saw the last song when they played @ lowlands)
Beirut (Zach Condon's so lovely, but he cancelled the european tour.)
65daysofstatic (all my friends have seen them, numerous times, but I could never go)
Gomez
Elbow
Mclusky
The New Pornographers
Oasis
Primus
Weezer :o

[Echewta]

The SugarCubes
Van Halen
Niam Amor
Goldfrapp
Queensryche
Level 42

[Videodrome]

Level 42? i can't believe you took it there.

[DipDipDive]

I forgot Pearl Jam, too.

[Knuckles]

Queensryche


A friend of mine just saw them a few months back and said they still rock.

[Documad]

I saw Black Keys open for Radiohead twice and I didn't care for them but I know it's tough to be an opening act. It's particularly bad with Radiohead because I get so excited. I'd consider giving them another go at a club.

Daft Punk was the only band left on my list before I saw them last year in Seattle. I stuck out like a sore thumb but I had fun.

I suppose Led Zeppelin is on my list even though they would be well past their prime. That's all I've got.

I've never seen Joni Mitchell. Does she still sing?

[Documad]

I'm more than likely seeing them [Sigur Ros] in September and I'm fucking geeked. I've heard they're amazing live.

Try to get tickets on main floor even if you're midway back. If this tour is like the last ones, the light show will be better from main floor. The incline from the balcony at the Orpheum is steep so I'm not sure what you see unless you're in the front rows. I don't know whether Amiina is touring with them again, but if so they're the one opening act worth showing up early for. I haven't heard a single thing about this tour.

[gbsuey]

these first two i have seen but really want to see again esp. the cure coz they're getting on a bit now!
the cure
shy child
mgmt
rudimentary peni
green day
chilli peppers....i'd love to be able to go back in time and be there for the early punk thing and studio 54 and shit like that-early stone roses....i could go on

[saz]

[b-grrrlie]

Oh I've seen more than half the bands mentioned here! (and almost all worth mentioning...)
But there is still that I haven't seen, which I want to, like

Nine Inch Nails (they've played here quite a few times, just a couple of months ago the latest, but never bothered to
get tickets in time or they've been too expensive)
Grinderman (they're playing Way Out West (http://www.wayoutwest.se/) in Gothenburg in a months time, with Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, Sonics,
Silverbullit, N*E*R*D, Sigur Rós, Buzzcocks etc, seen them all before except Sonics), really wanna go!!!

hmmmmm.... can't think any more good ones that I haven't seen....
And now I'm off to see Lou Reed with choir and orchestra to perform Berlin!!:D

[AceFace]

the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

let me tell you! that shit is intense!

[Guy Incognito]

ACDC
Dr Dre
Iron Maiden
Kraftwerk
James
Jay Z
Dj Shadow - does he even play live?

[mate_spawn_die]

Dj Shadow - does he even play live?

yes (http://youtube.com/watch?v=rJFTKy05JrY)

[Dorothy Wood]

bands I've wanted to see since my high school days, but never did:

NIN
Weezer
Green Day
Radiohead



a couple of weeks ago, I saw an excellent Led Zeppelin cover band perform on the steps of a church and a neighborhood festival, and it ruled! I can't imagine how much the real Led Zeppelin would rule...actually, maybe not as much these days.


I just bought tickets for Jay Reatard, and I'm so fucking pumped. I thought he was only going to be performing at the pitchfork music festival, but they revealed a secret after show. although I think I might still go to one day of pitchfork so I can see les savy fav.

[Rock]

Dj Shadow - does he even play live?

Him and Cut Chemist are on tour right now.

Arctic Monkeys
Michael Jackson
Bjork
Depeche Mode (that is a kinda sorta)
Portishead
The Mighty Imperials
Sabbath
Black Sheep (even though most hip hop shows ive been to aren't that great)
Bowie
The Dead Milkmen
Giant Drag
Ministry
Prince

[Echewta]

Yea, I took it to Level 42. I did see Front 242 but thats not the same.

Mark King is an excellent bass guitarist and I've been a fan of theirs for over a decade. Not ashamed.

Rock - I saw Depeche Mode on their last tour for the first time. Amazing. Don't kinda sorta, mean it.

[DipDipDive]

Add Bjork and Portishead to my list, as well.

And DO NOT waste your time going to see DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist. You will be sorely disappointed.

Also, thanks for the tip, Documad. :)

[Savage Jimmy]

I NEED to see

The Queers
Queens Of The Stone Age
Public Enemy
Fucked Up
Sick Of It All
Dillinger 4
Alkaline Trio

And prolly Andrew W.K. his shows look amazing!

[DeeJayZap]

Styles Of Beyond

The Breeders *

* = Had a chance to except it was 18s+

[Kid Presentable]

I think I'd go to a Lil Wayne show. And Ironic Band.

[AceFace]

if you haven't seen gogol bordello, you all need to put them on your list.

[camo]

Gypsy punk :D

[Rock]

And DO NOT waste your time going to see DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist. You will be sorely disappointed.

is it just them spinning a bunch of their own records with some scratches thrown in?

[Guy Incognito]

is it just them spinning a bunch of their own records with some scratches thrown in?

Just watched some and yes it looks that way.:(

I was hopin for a bit more of a band maybe, a bit more mixing tracks up and summat else.

[Caribou]

if you haven't seen gogol bordello, you all need to put them on your list.

Oh hell yes!
I'm seeing them twice this summer (Dour + Lowlands festivals). The times I've seen them before were the biggest parties ever and I always end up totally moshed to bits. (y)

I've been thinking some more, but I've actually already seen most of the things I like. There's just a bunch of bands I'd want to see again.
Although I wouldn't mind seeing the following:

The Beta Band
Ben Folds Five
Cake
Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
Divine Comedy
Ed Harcourt

[DipDipDive]

is it just them spinning a bunch of their own records with some scratches thrown in?

There's actually very little scratching. More like mashing up of segments from random foreign films with some laser and robot type sounds overlapped. Not the kind of stuff to which you can truly shake your groove thing. (n)

[Guy Incognito]

The pixies
blur
the orb
aretha franklin

[b-grrrlie]

Oh yeah I haven't seen Breeders yet, but ask me again in the end of August! :D

[Freebasser]

I killed several birds with one stone this weekend and saw the following acts for the first time:

Rage Against The Machine
Primal Scream
Kings of Leon
Eddy Grant
Delays
The Stranglers

All good, except I got a folding metal chair in the face during KOL *le ouch* :/

I watched the highlights of T in the Park, would have loved to have seen The Prodigy, REM and Rage. Not seen any of them. Edith Bowman told us that the BBC were not allowed to show any Rage but didnt specify why.

[Freebasser]

Probably something to do with the 10 minute long rant about buring down the U.S. embassy :/

[Guy Incognito]

nice.

They showed cock all of the prodge (1 track), 2 of REM, one of the scream and fuckin nearly all of the Fratellis( Twice), Kooks, and KT bastard Tunstall.Twats.

[mate_spawn_die]

Its the poster for the first night of The Factory club. Its FAC1.

[b-grrrlie]

Cyndi Lauper


and I just bought a ticket for her gig in October...

[mate_spawn_die]

i seen cyndi lauper live! :)

[Kid Presentable]

The Roots

[cubsfirstplace]

the roots, even though i hated their new album

[DipDipDive]

The Roots still rank pretty high on my list of best live bands I've ever seen. I'm talking like Things Fall Apart era though. I'd totally still pay to see them, but I'd be a bit hesitant since I'm not too into their new stuff.

[Kid Presentable]

I like the 'hip hop tribute' aspect of the footage I've seen. Plus their musicianship nuts, and Thought is one of my favourite mcs. I was serious about Weezy, too. Since I don't see the fuss at all, I wouldn't mind seeing him do his thing to convince me.

[hitmonlee]

The Who (there's enough left!)
NIN (come to perth grrrrrrr)
Radiohead
Eagles of Death Metal

[Guy Incognito]

The Who (there's enough left!)


I had the opportunity last year at Glastonbury but i just couldnt be arsed. I didnt think it was worth it and went to see the Chemicals again. I really really like The Who but i just think I am not gonna see them at anything near their best. I dont know if thats a good attitude or not.


I still havent seen the Prodigy live now i think about it.

[jabumbo]

the roots are a lot of fun to watch live, they keep the energy up. plus, their mash up of all things popular is always pretty cool, and it makes you realize how broad a range they can actually cover

for my list,


prince
rolling stones
rodrigo y gabriela
red hot chili peppers
radiohead
the mars volta
gnarls barkley
chicago
beck
beastie boys
allman brothers band


and even though i saw some of their show, i'd love to see a whole set by my morning jacket

[hitmonlee]

prodigy (y)

no i think the who are legends, they were my favourite band when i was a child
until i was about 8 and then the cure took over
i'd be thrilled if they came here

oh yeah prince how could i forget, he's another one that won't come to perth
travelling anywhere from here is $400 alone :(

[Tzar]

Pantera PANTERA PAAAANNTTEERRRAA!!!
kind of impossible but yeah, i'd pay alot to go back in time... having said that, i'd go to the monsters of rock show in moscow back in the nineties
: AC/DC + Metallica + Pantera

them 3 plus:
the roots*
daft punk*
iron maiden*
chili peppers
ATCQ
black sabbath
edit: and prodigy too, i guess

* = have been to perth and could have seen them but didn't!

[na§tee]

rodrigo y gabriela
they are fantastic. really good fun. completely eclectic.

i want to see prince live. the rest can wait. prince first.

[yeahwho]

I forgot to mention the Hold Steady is another band I would like to see live, I was just checking out who was going to be on David Letterman tonite and I see they'll be on along with Neil Young, looks like I'll be setting the DVR for CBS at 11:35 PM.

[AdrocksYungLady]

Beastie Boys
Kanye West
Maxwell
Kem
lil Wayne

[AdrocksYungLady]

Can't forget...Prince!!! and my baby Robin Thicke
as much as I love Hip Hop I seem to want to see other genres live...hmm I wonder why...?

[Freebasser]

one of the scream

The whole set's up now. Way to go, Beeb! (http://www.bbc.co.uk/tinthepark/2008/artist/primal_scream/index.shtml#emp)

Fucking amazing one too. My clapping hands are visible pretty much throughout, and there's a close up vertical shot of my head at the end :S

[DipDipDive]

Every single one of you NEED to add Ween to your list. I don't care if you're a fan or not.

[jabumbo]
