If The World Was Going To End...

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?

Wow. I would pay wayyy too much money to see that show.

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.
