Which concert would you have given your right arm to have been at?

[SiennaInLondon]

SiennaInLondon - perfect choices!! I completely love and worship Springsteen!! Thanks so much for posting those videos!

You are perfect and I worship you completely

Tmw I am gonna make a Springsteen thread and we must chat. I think about him like 24/7 and I need to get some of that smoke out of me but I don't know how. I think I am the only 20 year old with this problem even though we were born in the 80s... My parents said that when he came on, I used to just stop dead in my pampers. And then I forgot about him and for the next 15 years I thought the only music that existed was Britney Spears. Needless to say I didn't listen to music much. Then puberty happened and I fell in love with him again.

I'd give something pretty important to have been at Isle of Wight '70 instead of my parents (who slept through Dylan!).

Wow! THAT festival! They slept? Did they sleep through Hendrix, the Doors, Baez, Davis.... ? I command you to go and interview your parents about it and then post the transcript here.

WHY WHY wasn't I alive and wild in the 70s?

I can go on for hours, but:
-The doors in their earlier days. jim morrisons voice was apparently incredible live
-bob dylan
-led zeppelin...that wouldve been so much fun
-nirvana
-and the strokes in 2001 at the mercury lounge before they were big and groupies were minimal

^ Zepp

Right now the stupid secret gig that I know is happening, and that I don't have tickets for!!

 

[SiennaInLondon]

Aww pauvre Hilde

Why didn't you just turn up and try your luck. They are usually very liberal affairs. People in and out etc etc.

 

[SweetFantasy]

MCR's

 

[Tushka_BeLLa]

Queen ...

And the Live 8 concert!

 

[Manuva]

Jeff Buckley - Live at Sin-é, just to hear that voice.
Nirvana Unplugged - Even watching it was so incredible, and quite eerie with the lillies and the candles, I can't imagine what it would be like to be there.
David Bowie on any date of his Serious Moonlight tour, but particually the Wembley Stadium gig.

 

[Dohertysgirl]

Aww pauvre Hilde

biiiiiiiaaaa...

I e-mailed stupid bogaloobar of course, saying that the only audience they get from announcing the tickets by e-mail, and selling them out the next three minutes is computer-geeks with no life online 24/7. They acually replied.

For me it would have to be the Pet Shop Boys Performance tour from the early 90's, I saw them recently and it was amazing, but the costumes and the video projections looked amazing from the performance tour.

I keep finding new ones - this one is with Bowie and Marianne Faithfull during the Diamond Dogs era (I think?) - Bowie was at his very best (sooo godly) and with such perfect timing...but poor Marianne is definitely lagging. Still, it's heartfelt. Also interesting from a fashion perspective - nobody to work those arms like Bowie

 

[elly9]

any queen concert.. or muse @ glastonbury

 

[SiennaInLondon]

OMG did Faithful f*** Bowie? I officially hate her if she did. That is a beautiful boy. The cheekbones. She does sound horrible though which is some consolation.

 

[chaneladdict]

I would have given my right arm to see the Who at Leeds Also, some of the bands I love such as Radiohead, have gotten so big that seeing them now entails being 3 miles from the stage and still paying 75 dollars, so I wish I could have seen them when they were smaller..also seeing Zepp in a small environment would have been amazing. I would most definitely give both my arms to have seen Gram Parsons/The Byrds.

lol - it certainly looks like they did - those awful smug smiles they've both got plastered on their faces

 

[SiennaInLondon]

Chanel, trust me, you don't want to see the Who anywhere. It is awful... nowhere near their heyday.

^And yeah she does look smug. And he must be getting something out of it if he is pretending not to be offended by her catterwalling.

Well, this was in ca 1974, and I guess it was around that time she lived by a Soho wall. Call me a materialist, but I say whatever she was smug about was pretty superficial.

 

[chaneladdict]

Right,i was saying I wanted to see them when they recorded the Leeds concert that became the album, which was during their heyday.. I know for certain I don't want to see them now Did you see them recently? I saw them on I think David Letterman or something and it made me a bit sad.

 

[Nemova]

U2 during the Zoo TV Tour.
The Clash at the Lewisham Odeon '81 or at Bonds in NY- heck, I'd give my right arm for any Clash concert!

And maybe, just maybe, Bauhaus at the Old Vic (and just because Bauhaus 2.0 sucks)
