"Appropriate" Concerts?

maani wrote: I have always been fascinated by the possibilities inherent in putting certain bands on the same bill.  This thread is just for fun, so here's my first one: Strawberry Alarm Clock Vanilla Fudge Moby Grape Cream Wild Cherry Can you think of others? Peace.

You've just reminded me, I've got a piece of cake waiting in the fridge

But here's my suggestion: Amon Dull II, Sun Ra, Opeth, Nile, Anubis Spire and Anubis Lights

And to top off your suggestion, Maani: Don Cherry

How about:

Blue Cheer

Green Day

White Stripes

Yellow Matter Custard

Red Hot Chili Peppers

(Lot's more too)

pink floyd, deep purple, green carnation, black sabbath, red jasper, blackfield...

camel, porcupine tree, henry cow , happy the man,

asia, uk, ... hmm.. got stuck there!

ey danbo you were stealing my concept when I was thinking of other bands!

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

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

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. 

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?

For me It would Be:

 - PFM

 - Le Orme

 - Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso

 - Locanda Delle Fate

 - Deus Ex Machina

 - Museo Rosenbach

 Yeah !

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
