Lets say that it was and your favourite band were going to be playing a massive gig that you were going to go to, with no more then 2 support acts, who would you choose and what songs would you have them play?

What type of venue would you like as well?

Here's mine:

Main Act : Rush

Supporting : Porcupine  Tree, Pink Floyd

Setting : A small club that can hold maybe 120 loving prog-fanatics, decent atmosphere in a small venue,get real close to the artists. All the usual visual treats normally played at Rush gigs, but this time the other bands can use them as well.

Setlists :
Porcupine Tree
1. The Sky Moves Sideways Phase 1
2. Deadwing
3. Hatesong
4. Waiting Phase 1
5. Voyage 34
6. Shallow
7. Four Chords That Made A Million
8. Russia On Ice
9. Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
10.The Sky Moves Sideways Phase 2

Pink Floyd
1. Shine On You Crazy Diamond [Entire]
2. Money
3. Dogs
4. Not Now John
5. Time
6. Sorrow
7. Hey You
8. High Hopes
9. Wish You Were Here
10. Comfortably Numb

Rush
1. Subdivisions
2. Red Barchetta
3. Distant Early Warning
4. Time And Motion
5. The Analog Kid
6. The Big Money
7. Middletown Dreams
8. Sweet Miracle
9. Bravado
10. Bastille Day
11. YYZ
12. Available Light
13. The Pass
14. Cut To The Chase
15. Hand Over Fist
16. Superconductor
17. Leave That Thing Alone
18. Where's My Thing?
19. Ghost Rider
20. Earthshine
21. Vapour Trail
(encore)
22. 2112 [Entire]
23. Cygnus X-1 [Both Books]
(2nd encore)
24. Fly By Night
25. Working Man

Aww man, I really want to go to it now, probably be one of the longest concerts ever though, just the Rush encores come close to 90 minutes!

:cool:

It's a hypothetical situation, humour me.

Tough one. I'd go for VdGG, Magma and Hawkwind, but I could just as easily name three other bands (like Gong, Amon Düül 2 and Guru Guru, for example).

Track list:

VdGG:

1. Arrow
2. Man-Erg
3. Sleepwalkers
4. Octopus (yes, indeed!)
5. Still Life
6. The Sphinx in the Face
7. Meurglys III - the Songwriters Guild
8. In Babelsberg
9 A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
10. Killer

Magma:

1. Mekhanik Destruktiw Kommandöh
2. Köhntarkösz
3. Kobaiah
4. De Futura
5. Hhai
6. Tröller Tanz

Hawkwind:

1. Assault and Battery / the Golden Void
2. Steppenwolf
3. Secret Agent
4. Brainstorm
5. Hassan I Sabah
6. Damnation Alley
7. Streets of Fear
8. Urban Guerilla
9  Levitation
10. Robot
11. Moonglum
12. Sputnik Stan
13. Greenback Massacre
14. Choose Your Masques
15. Images
16. Reefer Madness
17. Flying Doctor
18. Silver Machine

That would be 3 gigs of about 2 hours length. Then I would stop the world, turn the time backwards 24 hours and have Gong, Guru Guru and Amon Düül 2 play. And after that the same procedure, this time having Gryphon, Embryo and Yes play. And after that... you get the message.

VdGG as main act

Tangerine Dream (Franke/Froese/Baumann line up, probably along with Klaus Krieger on drums and Steve Joiliffe on flute -if not vocals!- hey, after all that's my fantasy)

King Crimson (whatever line-up... any of them will do!)

VdGG repertoire will be more or less the same as above mentioned. I don't hgave time to write my faves now
No need for a repertoire in Froese/Franke/Baumann line-up Tangerine Dream! I would just have them improvise for 2 hours
as for King Crimson; well, mr. Fripp would probably be offended by having the support act role that he would probably leave otherwise any 2 hour show will do (but please include at least 21st Century SM and Starless!)



Edited by Bilek
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

I wouldn't mind about music, or musicians, or whatever. I would just go straight to my girlfriend's house and ask her: "¿How about an orgy, then?"

Since this is hypothetical:

The headliner: Led Zepplin with Bonham
Set must include the half hr version of dazed and confused.


Supported by Genesis (Classic line-up of course)
Set would include Supper's Ready and the entire Lamb set

As well as Rush playing mostly their 70s and 80s stuff.
