Subject: Grim's stoopid question of the day.
Kuzibah and I got back from the opening night of Simon & Garfunkel's new tour. I didn't ever expect to see them get back together let alone see them in person.
Is there any act/group that you want to see "just one more time?" (nothing impossible like the Beatles)

I haven't been to any concerts that I want to see again... -- Hazel, 09:40:59 10/17/03 Fri (137.21.144.64)
But if I could see anyone in concert, it would be Audra McDonald or Lea Salonga.

I just read a review about that show. -- Tracy, 10:00:34 10/17/03 Fri (171.75.108.165)
I want to go bad. They are coming to Columbus and that's probably the show I'll get to.
I would love to have seen The Smith's live or Derek and the Dominos way back in the day.

Okay, this is impossible -- Angharad, 10:03:41 10/17/03 Fri (12.250.157.42)
I'm unable to go to a lot of concerts because of the smoke factor, but I once passed up the chance to see Nina Simone. Now that she's dead, I wish I had gone.
Of the two concerts I've been to (yes, only two), one featured Todd Snyder, Iris Dement, Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Arlo Guthrie, Lyle Lovett, and Jackson Browne. The other was Mandy Patinkin. If I had to choose between the two, I'd see Mandy again.
As for imaginary reunions, we'll I'm stumped. Most of the groups I like have members who are, well, dead. I'd like to see Leonard Cohen, though.

I've seen Mandy Patinkin, too, and I would see him again in a heartbeat! Patti Lupone is great to see live, too.

Evan Dando -- Simon, 10:08:06 10/17/03 Fri (193.61.148.113)
His solo act is amazing, just him and a guitar singing old Lemonheads stuff and his new material.

So would I. -- Grim ,_,_), 11:28:49 10/17/03 Fri (66.95.229.84)
But the ticket prices were prohibitive the last time I checked. Read $200 face.

The beauty of a brother working at the #1 rock station here in Cincinnati is the amount of free tickets I get. BJ & EJ was one of those last minute, free ticket shows. Sweet.

The Go-Gos. -- wwolfe, 12:13:51 10/17/03 Fri (161.149.63.110)
I've seen them six times. Four were magical, the other two were solid. Since they're all still alive and playing together from time to time, this is a wish that could come true.
A high school friend and I had fifth row seats to see Mott the Hoople in Akron on the big 1975 tour that was going to finally put them over the top in America. They broke up a month before the show. That one still hurts. All the guys are still alive, but I don't think 60-year-old Mott the Hoople members would be a pretty sight.
I dearly wanted to see the Temptations/Impressions show in the summer of 1982. It was all the original members of both groups - arguably the two best soul groups ever, and definitely my two favorites - for a once in a lifetime how. My best friend was getting married in Ohio that same weekend, though, and there was no question where I had to be. I certainly don't regret going to my friend's wedding, but I'll always sigh a little over not seeing that show. Since then, all but one of the original Temptations has died, and the great Curtis Mayfield, leader of the Impressions, has also died.
I'd love it if John Fogerty would stop being so bitter and nasty and ungrateful to his former bandmates and friends, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, and re-form Creedence Clearwater Revival for a tour. John's older brother, Tom, the band's rhythm guitarist, has died, but it wouldn't be too hard to find a fill-in for him. I have no doubt this tour would be greeted with great joy on the fans' part, as well as tremendous critical acclaim. The latter would be sweet for the band members, since - as astonishing as it seems to consider this now - Creedence was not all that highly regarded by the critics when they were making all that great music thirty years ago. None of this will happen, though, because John Fogerty is consumed by an ugly bitterness toward everything connected with the band. This has sadly diminished him as a person, although it happily has no effect on the greatness of the band's accomplishments.

Rage against the machine -- rktekt, 03:24:23 10/18/03 Sat (67.117.144.130)
With Zack as lead singer.
Also, Van Halen with David Lee Roth before he went all loopy
Genesis with Peter Gabriel as lead singer
CSN&Y - all of them together would be nice.
Not too much to ask huh?

I'm with you on the Genesis thing -- Kuzibah, 09:36:25 10/20/03 Mon (12.175.117.195)
In fact, the day they invent time travel, I'm booking a passage to the "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" concert at the Tower Theatre. Also, Pink Floyd performing "The Wall."

I saw CSN&Y at Cleveland Stadium in August 1974. -- wwolfe, 11:24:09 10/20/03 Mon (161.149.63.110)
My first real rock concert. They headlined a big bill, starting around noon and going until close to midnight. There were about 100,000 people there, counting the 88,000 that sat in the stands, along with all of the people on the infield grass.
CSN&Y were good, but the thing I remember most clearly is when Jesse Colin Young was singing "Sunshine" in the midst of a rain shower and the sun broke through the clouds. That was cool.
Other than Mott the Hoople in '75 and the Tempts/Impressions reunion show in '82, the concert I most regret missing is Van Halen's tour closing show at the LA Forum in December '84. That was the close of the "1984" tour, and it turned out to be Roth's last shows with the band, as well. Given their status as hometown heroes, I've always imagined those shows were a huge party.

Sigh... -- Heather, 16:51:55 10/24/03 Fri (209.179.140.197)
I've always wanted to see Everclear...but alas, they recently broke up. So they can be my answer. Sigh again.
