sorry, ten songs does not make a show

[dumpy]

10 songs from different artists is very hard. I did these mainly to "flow" with/into each other, not just because they are songs I want to hear live. Give me 100 choices and the list would be more well rounded.

Venue: A small dingy rock club (maybe crocodile rock or water st.), until last four songs, then an open field late on a warm summer night with a light breeze (wow that sounds gay)

(in order I'd like to see them played)


Joy Division: Warsaw

Against Me: Cliche Guevara

The Clash: White Man in Hammersmith Palais

The Clash: Lost in the Supermarket

Hot Water Music: Trusty Chords

Greg Graffin: Skyscraper solo on a piano


<-----------Time to go outside--------->
The Cure: The Exploding Boy

New Order: True Faith

David Bowie and Robert Smith: Stardust

The Cure: Edge of the Deep Green Sea

Wow, opening with Warsaw. Good Call

[Tippster]

...'xept Ian supposedly sucked Live. But since it's the "Ultimate Concert" then we'll assume everyone's firing on all cylinders.

I'll second Rev's Venue - nothing like a show at Red Rocks. I'd break mine down to a Classic Rock set and a Modern Rock set:

Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again
LZ - When the Levee Breaks
SRV - Texas Flood
Little Feat - Fat Man in the Bathtub
Dire Straits - Ride Across the River

(Smoke Break)

Tool - Eulogy
Clash - Straight To Hell
Stone Roses - Fools Gold
The Cure - Charlotte Sometimes

Encore:
Catherine Wheel - Fripp
Pear Jam - Black
Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien

Impossible to keep it to 10 songs. Shit, I'd need a Festival Weekend.

[JimmyCarter]

I'd have to have this in there somewhere.


And I'd probably open with The Decline by NOFX.

[toast2266]

Someplace small, indoors, and during the winter (so they can open the doors when it gets really hot). It should be close to my house too, so I don't have to worry about driving home. Such a place doesn't exist, but if we can bring hendrix back to life, we can build a concert hall down the street from me.

start off with a bang:
RATM - Bulls on parade
Meshuggah - combustion
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Tool - Opiate
NIN - Mr. Self Destruct
DEP - widower

break

GnR - Sweet child
Hendrix - voodoo child
Stones - gimme shelter
LZ - In my time of dying

encore (cause a 10 song show is bullshit):
Stooges - I wanna be your dog
Pennywise - Bro hymn

[Jer]

The Doors on a good night in some go go bar.

In whatever order they feel is best (The End at the end, of course):

Break On Through
Crystal Ship
End of the Night
Not To Touch the Earth
Take It As It Comes
Moonlight Drive
Wild Child
Indian Summer
L'America
The End

[dumpy]

Wow, opening with Warsaw. Good Call

...'xept Ian supposedly sucked Live. But since it's the "Ultimate Concert" then we'll assume everyone's firing on all cylinders.

We'll have to keep the lights low and not flashing for Ian.

start off with a bang:
RATM - Bulls on parade
Meshuggah - combustion
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Tool - Opiate
NIN - Mr. Self Destruct
DEP - widower

break

GnR - Sweet child
Hendrix - voodoo child
Stones - gimme shelter
LZ - In my time of dying

encore (cause a 10 song show is bullshit):
Stooges - I wanna be your dog
Pennywise - Bro hymn

Toast, your show gets exponentially better after the break, IMHO of course. I could take or leave the first half (although the one time I saw Tool, it was grade A), but FKNA the second half and the encore would be stellar.

[wicked_sick]

Holy fuck.

[The Reverend Floater]

One of my favorite jpgs of all time. If I could get that as a quality tattoo, I would.

That said, 10 songs is indeed, rough.

Tipp--good call on Eulogy
Jer--If I ever saw The End live, my fucking head would explode.
Toast--Great call on Bro Hymn
buttah--Fearless...love it.


I'd have to add the following to my list as an encore, since nobody digs the 15 song rule, anyway. And let it be known that somebody passed some tea around during the last set, so I'm ready for the following mega encore:

Everything in it's Right Place/Radiohead
10,000 Days Medley/Tool
Would/Alice in Chains
Mezzanine/Massive Attack
Shadows of Ourselves/Theivery Corp

I guess I'll play the concert game too.

1st Set:
Brandenburg concerto #3; J.S. Bach

2nd set:
Cowgirl In The Sand; Neil Young and Crazy Horse

When The Levee Breaks; Led Zeppelin
Telegraph Road; Dire Straits

3rd set:
My Brain is Hanging Upside Down; Ramones
Orion; Metallica (w/ Cliff, obviously)
Seasons in the Abyss; Slayer

This post is ridiculous. The Dead are great and all but Dark Star? Really? I never understood the fascination. Can you explain?

On the Live Dead album, I always skipped DS and went straight into SS->11->Lovelight. That is fucking epic!

Actually, I can't think of any Dark Stars that I listen to all the way through. Same goes for The Other One/Cryptical once Phil finishes the roll. Those 60s spacey jams just don't do it for me at all.

[BSS]

It's just the unknown that always appealed to me. It's the exploration that keeps me hanging on for more. The door opens and there are just so many possible directions for the music to go. I agree listening to it on tape gets mundane, but live it's pretty surreal. An all "five senses" type of thing. I only ever caught one "real" one (Phil & Friends and all that notwithstanding) in concert @ Giants Stadium, and it was just so awesome. Peeling away the layers and all...

[powpig]

So many choices, 10 is tough, but here ya go:

Gardenia - Kyuss

Hard Lovin' Man - Deep Purple mkII w/Blackmore

Walk On Hot Coals - Rory Gallagher

Black Rose - Thin Lizzy w/Gary Moore

Dazed & Confused - Led Zep 71 version when Plant could still shatter those highs



Break

Of A Lifetime - Journey Original pre-Perry version

Voodoo Chile - Jimi Hendrix

Disposable Heroes - Metallica w/Cliff

Meeting Of The Spirits - Mahavishnu Orch w/Hammer, Goodman, Cobham

The Necromancer - Rush 75 when Geddy could still shriek with the best of 'em


Encore

Echoes - Pink Floyd



I could come up with an almost equally impressive list (to me anyway), that didn't quite make the cut.

[grubbers]

so this is a bit of a departure from the current lists, but i've realized that my favorite type of live music is a good electronic set when i'm partying. anyway, here it is:

venue: top of random mountain somewhere during the summer.
set list:
pretty lights - finally moving remix

yolanda be cool & dcup - we no speak americano

deadmau5 - some chords

deadmau5 - faxing berlin (grifta dubstep remix)

thievery corporation - lebanese blonde

mt eden dubstep - still alive

deadmau5 - strobe

tiesto - adagio for strings

dada life - cookies with a smile

duck sauce - the motion


i tried to come up with a set list that would flow really well and apparently i really like deadmau5 right now. now one could argue that all you need to make this happen is an ipod and some speakers, but anyone who has seen a good, live dj knows that there is much more to it than just pressing play.

[hartzejr]

List based on bands I wish I saw but never had the chance to for whatever reason or bands that I saw and had unbelievable live performances.

Location - The Raven on Welton in Denver with a bunch of drunk punk rock kids that know what a circle pit is.

Link 80 - Verbal Knit
The Vindictives - In Pursuit
The Frantics - Breakfast in a Coffee Cup
Electric Summer - Shock
Death By Stereo - No shirt, No Shoes, No Salvation
30 Foot Fall - Ida Know
The Queers - Debra Jean
Gogol Bordello - Start Wearing Purple
Against All Authority - Lifestyle of Rebellion
Flogging Molly - Black Friday Rule
