Best Concert Lineup of All Time Coming in October?
- Thread starter gollumcat
- Start date
Is this only in Southern Commiefornia? I wanna see Dylan before he stops showing but I'm not flying across the country for it.
Nice try. The greatest concert lineup has already happened and will never be surpassed.
False. No act played a bell at Woodstock. There were lots of guitars and drums and LSD played though.
Hendrix
CCR
Who
Jefferson Airplane
Maybe SatFS
Are all that was decent at Woodstock.
The only two even close to the Stones or McCartney on that list are Hendrix and The Who, and neither of them come close to Dylan.

5 of the most iconic acts in all of rock history......would be 6/6 if all of Floyd was playing.
I've seen all of these( all since 2000) except Waters.....here is how I would rank them, just based on how good their live shows were:
1. The Who
2. Neil Young
3. Stones
4. Dylan
5. McCartney.
All were good, but that's my order.

I would have to go with 1985's Live Aid as the greatest gathering of musical acts. It is a little bit of a cheat as there were two venues (U.S. and U.K.) performing at the same time. Just about every living top act participated (a few exceptions were Prince, Springsteen and Michael Jackson). Acts at just the Philly show included:
Black Sabbath
Run-DMC
Crosby, Stills and Nash
The Beach Boys
Bryan Adams
George Thorogood
The Pretenders
Tom Petty
Neil Young
Eric Clapton
Phil Collins
Led Zeppelin (1st reunion)
Mick Jagger
Keith Richards
Bob Dylan
Tina Turner
Judas Priest
Madonna
Santana
The Cars

Roger Waters "The Wall" concert a few years ago was the best concert I have ever seen in my life. Of course, he can't replicate that stage show in the concert that is the subject of this thread. That concert was most spectacular due to the lighting, video projections, and stage props used.
Can't tell if you're being serious or not. If not..
- Singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist
- He has sold over 100 million albums AND over 100 millions singles
- He has written well over 100 songs that have made the top one hundred charts. 91 have been top ten. 32 have been number one.
- He has written 43 songs that sold over a million copies each.
- Two time HOF inductee.
- 21 Grammy awards.
You may not like his music. And that's fine! But to call him a hack just could not be more wrong.
Dang, I'm surprised you quit jacking him long enough to type all that.
you worship derivative white blues noodlers. imitators of imitators
mccartney is a cornball
Perhaps about 40 years ago, this would have been legendary. Now, it's a bunch of geriatrics playing songs they wrote 40 years ago for 1000th time. While I love most of the artists (not Floyd - sorry, too f***ing boring and stoned for my taste), every one of them are decades past their prime.
Monterrey Pop had a pretty good lineup, too, let's not forget: Hendrix, Who, Mamas and Papas, Otis Redding, Janis, Airplane, etc.

Calling McCartney a hack is like saying Calipari is a fluke recruiter. Almost anything worth listening to these days can thank Lennon/McCartney or maybe the Stones.
Their age does not matter - not asking them to go 5 rounds in MMA.
Either you like their music or not; there will be tens of thousands of fans that do and it will be an epic weekend.

george martin was the best beatle
lennon was a pompous self-absorbed reactionary with hippie branding
george harrison's big hit both plagiarized phil spector & had 'hare krishna' in the background vocals
and mccartney is corny. pop songcraft is for shitheads
ps the rolling stones have been their own cover band for three decades now. not worth seeing

I hear you but I don't agree. Watching Joe Montana throw passes to Jerry Rice today isn't anywhere close to watching them in the 80s. Not saying the music artists suck or I don't like their music. The plain truth is they're just not nearly as good as they once were (who is?). I love the Stones and have for a long time. But to see them now, for the hundreds of dollars they charge, limp their way through Jumpin Jack Flash for the 5,000th time is just not enough entertainment for my money. Like watching Willie Mays hit a soft liner when playing for the Mets. Great to see legends play but it's not the same as when they're at or near their prime (I saw the Stones in '78 and '81, arguably already past their prime but certainly closer to it than they are now).
These artists are all legends and good for them they can still play and entertain people. But, 'the greatest lineup in history' - nah. Not now.
Agree about Zeppelin.
Don't agree with sports analogy. I think its pretty obvious musicians can be closer to their best at an advanced age than athletes.
I've seen The Who live 10 times spanning from 1978 to 2016(unfortunately, I never saw them with Moon). While I am not saying they are as much of a force of nature or runaway train energetically in 2016 as they were in 1978, in may ways I enjoyed the later shows just as much or more. Trust me, they were/are not mailing it. I am not naïve enough to say they weren't doing it for the money(they all do that), but they gave an honest, electric and exciting show. And, in the recent shows they were far more engaging and connecting with the fans at the shows. Its all a matter of perspective, I think, for the fans and the bands themselves.

Truly a great lineup of bands in their prime, I did get a chuckle seeing Gorky Park on the bill.
