Your own dream concert. You can have five artists (living or dead). It's a dream : ))

What time of year? What venue?

I want an early Fall, Saturday night concert at Yoshi's in Oakland, CA.

Prince and the Lovesexy Band
The Time - original lineup
D'Angelo
Slave
Earth, Wind & Fire (circa 1975)

Just Led Zeppelin in San Francisco circa 1969 in a very small venue.

Playing for 4 hours.

And then afterward: loads of fun.

I'm scared of what you would do with Zeppelin circa '69.

No pun intended.

I'm scared too.

Although I've thought about it so many times, that there many scenarios floating around by now. I'm sure it would be mindblowing.

No pun intended.

I like your dream # 2.

I'd add Blondie to that list. And The Cars. And The Ramones too.

minneapolisgenius said:

The American punks would be a seperate show.

Even in my dreams I have to follow rules.

sextonseven said:

No, you have to mix them together. It wouldn't be the ultimate punk experience if everyone didn't get into a huge brawl during the whole thing.

You should talk to Linda Blair. I seem to recall Rick doing something for her.

Red Hot Chili Peppers open the show with "Around The World". Then they play "Get On Top", "Suck My Kiss" with a kick ass guitar solo played by John Frusciante which goes for about 8 minutes. Then George Clinton comes on stage to do "Give It Away" with them. Then Chili Peppers leave and George Clinton is joined by Parliament. They do "Tear The Roof Off The Mother", "Unfucky UFO", "Handcuffs" and "Flashlight". Then Prince joins them onstage to perform "Erotic City". Parliament leave and Prince is joined on stage by his lovesexy band. They perform "DMSR" for like 15 minutes and then they do "Bambi", "The Beautiful Ones", "The Marrykind/If Eye Was The Man In Your Life" and "A Million Days". Then Michael Jackson comes on stage and him and Prince do "Bad". The the Jacksons join Michael and they do "Can You Feel It", "Dancing Machine", "Shake Your Body", "Heartbreak Hotel", "Lovely One", "Walk Right Now", "Don't Stop" and "Rock With You". Then Michael says "goodnight" as if it was the end of the show. Then about 5 minutes later, Chad Smith comes out and does a kick ass drum solo. Then Flea comes out and bust out on the bass. Frusciante comes out and starts shreding his guitar. Then Kiedis comes out and the bust starts playing "Storm In A Teacup", "Torture Me", "Hump De Bump", "By The Way", "Scar Tissue", "Californication" and they finish with "Under The Bridge". Then the show truly ends.

That would be a perfect concert.
