"Appropriate" Concerts?

Maani:

Oregon!  (OK., I think you get the picture now...)

Sweetnighter:

Jim Black - drummer for the Ellery Eskelin Trio, one of Dave Douglas' bands and, I think, for Joni Mitchell

Ed Blackwell - drummer for Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy, nuff said

Frank Black - of The Pixies fame

Bands like Black Funeral or Black Witchery (to wake up the drunks after the show and chase them away ) 

 

This was the best combination I ever saw. In 1977 there was a Genesis outdoor tour and Gentle Giant was to be one of the support acts,but they canceled GG ... but it was still a good concert.

You can add "utopia" to the list of locales 

and for colors:
the velvet underground
velvet revolver

alan white
lenny white
(both drummers too!)

there has to be somebody black too

eagle-eyed cherry
the cherry poppin' daddies
wild cherry


wait... velvet isn't a color is it...  or is it?


i bet you could come up with a bunch for royalty

king crimson
prince
queen

Hey!  You guys are changing the rules!  The bands have to have something in common other than where they come from or the kind of music they play!  It's about "stupid" connections, not legitimate ones!

Howz this:

Led Zeppelin
Jefferson Airplane
U2
Flying Burrito Brothers

or

Frank Zappa
Trey Gunn
The Sex Pistols
Guns 'n' Roses

For me It would Be:

 - PFM

 - Le Orme

 - Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso

 - Locanda Delle Fate

 - Deus Ex Machina

 - Museo Rosenbach

 Yeah !

Metropolis:

I would go to a Phil Collins concert. He has his own Big Band, where he plays the drums and man can he still play them!

Mirco:

Ditto Steve Smith, for example with Frank Gambale and Stu Hamm, or Scott Henderson and Victor Wooten.

And how could I have forgotten to include Pharaoh Sanders and Isis in my "Egyptian" concert?

True, but we would trick them into playing in the full light of day and their make-ups would melt, thereby rendering them completely powerless.

Not forgetting Like Wendy, who take their name from Laiquendi, a people from Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings".

I'm just waiting for the person who creates the longest concert ever: groups that take their names from LOTR!  That would have to be a multi-day music festival! Peace.

Thanks!

If there was no limit to the number of bands, I could add Blue Nile and Amon Dull I to the "Egyptian" concert (though I heard Amon Dull I wasn't very interesting).

Another suggestion - a "reptilian" concert: Krokodil, Lizard, Whitesnake, Tortoise, T-Rex and Dinosaur Jr.

And to start off the LOTR festival - let's make that a Tolkien festival, all right? - Marillion, Kamelot, Morgoth and... my Tolkien band neuron is spent for the moment
