resurrect a band.

if you could see any band that ever existed, at any time, in any place, who, where and when would it be?

I'd like to see Jim Morrison at some place like the Southgate House in Newport, KY. He can get as fucked up as he wants as long as he doesn't pass out too early on stage.

A small club in England, sometime in the very early 1990s, watching Slowdive and Ride play one after the other.

The Cramps during their "Gravest Hits" days with "The Fire of Love"-era Gun Club opening.

Slapstick, supporting Op Ivy... because I'm sure Ska-punk was fun, back then.

i'd do about anything to see Thin Lizzy play with Phil still at the helm. few artists have moved me with as many songs.

Smashing Pumpkins,any time,any place.

nirvana at the breakroom or crocodile cafe...
just for one last show.

jesse

Jimi Hendrix...maybe at woodstock. Or Nirvana when they played new years eve and Pearl Jam pussed out and didn't play their set so Nirvana played the whole show. Or to be one of the 6 people who watche dthe first Ramones show play.

In addition to the music greats i.e. Doors, nirvana, Jimi Hendrix….

The Grateful Dead. Now hear me out its not that I’m a big fan of them. There are only a couple dead songs I like. I would however love to be able to follow them around the country with all the other dead head’s. One of the few times/places were you could do good drugs all day everyday without having to do any real work. Always seeing new people and placed and yet always traveling with the same crowd. They actually lived their ideals, (other than early punk rock I can’t think of another group united by music and living true to there believes). I don’t think that there will be another time or place like that for a long long time. And I’m so tired of shitty Acid.

either the richard and linda thompson "shoot out the lights" tour
or
the hanatarashi show where yamatsuka eye drove a forklift through the wall of the club and then cut apart a dead cat onstage with a chainsaw.
or black sabbath when they were good
or john coltrane before he was dead

Elvis, Scotty & Bill playing the Louisiana Hayride back in '55!

Joy Division in Manchester in 1979.

Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett, in London, circa 1967.

A Butthole Surfers show circa 1985 or so (read the book "Our Band Could Be Your Life" for some of the hi-jinks at those shows, such as the Pee Wand.)
