The concert you wish you had been to
« on: October 27, 2007, 02:51:01 PM »
Got the Plug Me In box set of AC/DC stuff today (only had it 10 minutes) and I just watched one of the tracks which is Angus and Mal doing a song with the Rolling Stones.

I really wish I'd been at that concert (AC/DC & Rolling Stones, Leipzig 2003) ... what great live shows do you wish you'd been at? Queen at Wembley in '86 has to be up there for me too, but I was too young to go to it :)

Sweet. Did you get the DVD of that, came out a few years ago I think? I read some bad reviews of it so never bought it - apparently they messed about with the recording and visuals and it isn't as good as the old VHS version (which I have lost :( )

I have the DVD and used to have the VHS (it used to run in permanent loop during my early 20s). The DVD is a 1:1 copy of the VHS with as only difference some in between sequences of recording sessions and interviews of Dark Side of the Moon. See David Gilmour play the actual recorded Time solo in the Studio is quite a catch, too.

Muddy Waters played Newcastle City Hall in the mid 60s, that would've been amazing to see.

Jimi Hendrix at Monteray where he just ripped the place appart.

AC/DC on the Powerage tour when they were recording the songs for the 'If You Want Blood, You Got It' album.

The Beatles in the Cavern Club.

Stones on the Sticky Fingers tour.

Cream at the Albert Hall (farewell gig)

Clapton/Bluesbreakers at any gig.

Allman Bros at one of the Fillmore gigs that ended up on the live album.

Sabbath on the first album tour.

Led Zepellin on the ZepII tour.

Right, that's a purchase then. Must have read some deluded person's review.

Back on topic, I should add the Ramones at CBGB's to my list.

Aerosmith "secret" gig at the Marquee, with Jimmy Page.

It was around 1990, I think.  Feline was probably there.  :wink:

Apart from that, I'd love to have seen just about any big-name band when they were starting out and playing clubs.  I hate big venues.
