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

Manunkind:

I like your concert!  Re Don Cherry, believe me - there are at least a dozen other groups I could have added in that vein, but did not want to make the concert too long!!

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.

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!

Asia, UK, Boston, Kansas, Atlanta Rythym Section, California Guitar Trio

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. 

Boston, Journey, the Sweet, REM

(Bands I like but I'm aware of their suckiness!!!!!!!)

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?

Hey RHCP put on a great show man, The live at slaine castle dvd is the best live dvd ive ever seen, and im only a mild RHCP fan.

My fave line up outwith the obvious;

Uriah Heep

Deep Purple

Wishbone Ash

Black Sabbath

Free

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

Danbo/Radioactive Toy:

How could you both forget The Moody Blues?  And Whitesnake?

I wonder just how many "color" groups there are?  Gotta be at least two dozen.  Also, U.S. "place" bands (with credit to Garion): Alabama, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Boston, California Guitar Trio, Chicago, Kansas, Miami Sound Machine, Oregon, ???

Peace.

I think there is an artist called Black.. I know this song "It's a wonderful life"

or ... the black eyed peas?

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.

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 )
