Of the artists I posted i have seen these live:
 
 
Beatles,
 
nahh i havent seen beatles live but i have seen macca twice. The show in gothenburg i think last year maybe is most euforic experience in my life. My sister started to cry when he played let it be, i started to shiver of pure ecstay when i heard the amazing slide on the guitarintro on "helter skelter". 
 
The Who, last summer in stockholm i started to cry when the old b*****ds played "baba o riley".
 
 
The stones, they are good but to compare them live with the Who is just silly.
 
Hellacopters, best clubgig ever!! Haven´t u heard them, buy there latest releases: by the grace of god and Rock&Roll is dead!!!

In my town, there is a raincoat under a tree
In the sky there is a cloud containing the sea
In the sea there is a whale without any eyes
In the whale there is a man without his raincoat.
