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 : Pink Floyd Rush 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: ------------- 'Man was created in 1 day, it took him the other 6 to create Prog' |

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 Magma: 1. Mekhanik Destruktiw Kommandöh Hawkwind: 1. Assault and Battery / the Golden Void 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. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

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 ------------- 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!) |
otherwise any 2 hour show will do (but please include at least 21st Century SM and Starless!)Posted By: Pr@gmatic

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. |

Genesis after the Lamb. They will take up their set time and the time for one supporting act. I would have the Wetton era of Crimson up there to open it up. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

| How about a concert of just Rush and they do all of their material from the debut to Moving Pictures (excluding Rivendell) and then some select songs from post-MP in a random order, with 2112 (entire song) as the last song played? That'd be pretty sweet. Screw other bands! |
