Your favorite band..playing one album live...

[Doug Briggs]

My first concert was Jethro Tull and they performed Thick As A Brick in full costumes. I'd see that again.

Joe Walsh - The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
John Hiatt - he could choose the album; I'd go

 

[Bobalooski]

Lawrence Welk - Calcutta/Yellow Bird
Vaughan Monroe - Racing with the Moon
Glen Gray - Swing Tonic
Herman’s Hermits - Mrs. Brown
The Turtles - Happy Together/Greatest Hits
And anything by Led Zeppelin

 

[François Pugh]

Too many to choose, and it would depend on my mood.
Today it would be Black Sabbath, Black Sabbath, mostly because of this song....

Metalica did their fans one better back in 2014, and I was there at Heavy MTL; they let the fans pick most of the set - Metallica by Request.

It was a damn good show, so were the other bands I saw there ( https://www.heavymontreal.com/en/relive/2014 ).

Fyi, I know a shop that has a Metallica ski for sale. It's still expensive but has been around at least 2 seasons. I think it's the Invictus 89. Nice looking ski for performance.

I'm not a big Beatle's fan, but let's face it, a live Sgt Pepper's would be pretty amazing. Assuming they could pull it off. With a little help from Pink Floyd maybe.

How did this thread morph from name one..... to list your top twenty?

Just one people, your favorite, make a chloice

 

[tch]

We're fantasizing, yes?

I'd LOVE to see the Beatles do the White Album.
Not just for the music (that's great!), but to watch the dynamics between the four of them. A study in creativity, conflict, cooperation, and personality.

 

[Mike Thomas]

you're not the boss of me.

Well, okay, at least I put mine first. That work for everyone?

 

[Posaune]

I would love to hear the Chicago Symphony play Mahler's 3rd symphony.

 

[fatbob]

I know it's been said before but

Pixies - Doolittle

Be nice if they could throw in Surfer Rosa as well though as an encore.

Also Primal Scream - Screamadelica

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses but I'd want a gurantee that Ian Brown would be in Tune

I have actually done 2/3 of these.

 

[Jacob]

Ok, narrowing down to one choice, I think it would have to be Radiohead playing Kid A.

For me, that narrowly beats out watching them playing OK Computer.

Since you said twenty, 20/20 doing 20/20:

 

[Living Proof]

Bob Seeger - Stranger In Town

I saw him live during the tour for this album, he gave all he had that night. That concert ranks right at the top of my live shows.

 

[PinnacleJim]

Eagles - Hotel California
And since this a fantasy, with Glenn Frey and Don Felder

 

[Carolinacub]

Earth Wind and Fire- All in All
Fantasy also happens to be my favorite ski song.

 

[Michael Kane]

I could also do with Izzy Stradlin & the Juju Hounds: 117 Degrees. Think GNR + Georgia Satellites

 

[crgildart]

Humm, only classic album rock comes to mind here.. Will try to keep it to five,, I mean 6

Rush Moving Pictures
Rush Hemispheres
Steely Dan Aja
Clash London Calling
Kansas Leftoverture
The Who Tommy.. Wish I had been able to see them do that at Radio City back when I lived in NY but did catch their last show at Giant Stadium

I mean 7...
Anything by Pink Floyd

 

[crgildart]

The Band, Last Waltz. They would have LOTS of company for that one.

They did just about everything off that when I saw them open for CSN many moons ago.

Fortunately I got to see many of my Favorites.
I’m with @Doug Briggs, Tull performing Thick as a Brick in 72’ is hard to beat, I was in the 2nd row for that one.
Yes! Close to the Edge & Tales from Topographic Oceans. I was leaning on Steve Howes foot pedals.
ELP! Brain Salad Surgery. Yup
The Who! Who’s Next, Quadrophenia, Tommy saw them even though it took me till last summer to see them play Tommy.
Deep Purple! In Rock, Fireball, Machinehead, the best parts anyway.
Return to Forever! The Romantic Warrior was incredible!
Although I am a huge Zep fan & got to see them in 73’ it would be difficult to choose just one album. I would prefer to have seen them at the very beginning in 69’ or 70’ when they just jammed it out for 3 or 4 hours.

So, for my one pick it’s gonna be The Jeff Beck Group playing the album”Truth” with all the guest musicians ie. Jimmy Page, Nicky Hopkins & Keith Moon.

When I was 18 we saw the dead in Boston and Hygagte which were some great shows. Otherwise Cyprus Hill at Woodstock but James Brown and Little Richard in San Diego were the best except I had to protect an old lady from the gang bangers who were knocking everyone over.
