Topic: One night only! Posted: August 27 2008 at 15:03 |
The idea from this came out of me seeing Robert Fripp at Blueberry Hill in St. Louis as well as Bill Bruford at the Roxy in Los Angeles.
If it was a one night one show only in a venue that sat 400-600 people who would it be and why?

David Gilmour for me or Roger Waters, they would the most convincing for me, playing Floyd material. If we were on the 70's, I would go and see Peter Gabriel's costumes and everything.

I had a hard time picking between Ian Anderson and Peter Gabriel. Anderson I've seen live before, and Gabriel never. But then I thought, well, Ian Anderson has been my biggest idol since the day I first heard progressive rock, played that time by Jethro Tull. Damn, I'd spend a night with him even if there was no music.

From the list it would definitely be Peter Gabriel, but all-time, I might have to go with Fela Kuti.

Out of this list, I chose Rick Wakeman. I enjoy his dry humor.

I voted for Robert Fripp, but now that I think about it, it would be even cooler to see David Sylvian.

I was fortunate enough to see Rick Wakeman in a fairly small setting last summer in Toronto. It was a really good show. I got to say "hi" to him as he walked in the front door about a half an hour before show time, and then after the show I got to meet him, take a picture with him, and have him sign the setlist. There might have been more than 600 people there, but not much more. Therefore, my vote goes for Keith Emerson, the other super keys man from the 70's.

Peter Gabriel, no doubt. He's number one on my list of people I want to see live, but I'd rather see him on a big tour similar to Growing Up Live.

Bill Bruford.
Always wanted to see him live and he is probably my favorite musician of all time. (Preferably it would be with KC or his Bruford band...but I'll take it will earthworks or with whoever any day )

Rick in Concert is priceless...his sense of humour is always value for money, on its own...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Frank Zappa, no doubt about it. Bring him back from the dead one night so I can see my favorite guitarist!

Went with Miles from this list, as the chance to see Bitches Brew material live would be the stuff of dreams.
Others I'd like to see would be (or have been) Coltrane, Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, and Todd Rundgren.
oooh almost forgot the mighty FZ!
