cash Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Okay so I thought this up while standing in the shower, it was too good not to post. Pick your dream band to play a dream concert at any venue. Anyone, any song, anywhere. Here's the catch, one of the members of your band has to be from Wilco (hopefully this would be fulfilled without being a requirement, being that we are on the via chicago forums). It's more about the members of your band than the set list and venue, but I thought those would be fun to add on. There is no out of bounds, they can be recently deceased, say Hendrix on Guitar, or way dead: J.S. Bach on keyboard anyone? I'll go first: Dave Matthews: vocals/guitarDuane Allman: lead guitarVictor Wooten: bassGlenn Kotche: drumsJohn Medeski: keyboard special guest appearance by: John Coltrane play live at the shorline amphitheatre (http://www.decheung.com/archives/shoreline.jpg) in California I wouldn't really care what they played, my requests would be: All Along the Watchtower, Whipping Post, and Hummingbird Your turn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'll play: John Lennon: Vocals/PianoNels Cline: GuitarJack White: BassGreg Saunier: Drums Some nice small club, haven't been to enough small clubs to say which. I'd request "Rock and Roll Music", "Crippled Inside", "Everbody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey", "A Day In The Life" (Jack could sing Paul's part), "Milking", "Holy Night Fever", "Let's Build A Home", and a million other songs.

mpolak21 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Nick Drake: Guitar/VocalsJohn Cale: Bass/Viola/Keyboards/VocalsGeorge Harrison: Guitar/VocalsMaureen Tucker: DrumsGlenn Kotche: Percussion/VibraphoneJon Brion: Multi-instrumentalist In terms of dream venue, my favorite place to see a show that's within driving distance to me is The Paramount Theatre in Ashland, Kentucky. Setlist? With these guys I doubt it'd matter Northern Sky, Sister Ray (with Lou Reed guesting), Stairway To Heaven (by Brion on piano), Here Comes The Sun, Pink Moon, Child's Christmas in Wales would all be wonderful to here. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cooperissup3r Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 that was an odd pick wasn't it. ...for all the guys you could have over the last say 500 years, he picks dave matthews. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 he probably listens to and enjoys Matthews' music, doesn't seem that odd to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Tweedy on guitar and lead voxBen Folds on pianoNels on lead guitarJim O'Rourke doing whatever he wantsAndrew Bird on violin, glockenspiel and lots of loopingGlenn Kotche and Martin dosh with the percussionAnd I guess John can stay on the bass playing at Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville, OH.

bobbob1313 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 he probably listens to and enjoys Matthews' music, doesn't seem that odd to me. But they don't like him. And college students do. So they'd rather kill themselves than see him perform. The logic is flawless, really. Pretension is fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any choices of songs are good that is a sick lineup and i totally understand why people dislike dave matthews, i used to be one of em. but when i'm in the mood, i think dave can be alright. I picked him mainly because he's an energetic singer and i think he would work well with my lineup. He's great live too, obviously people are entitled to their own opinions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 My daughter had to make up a band and pick the players she wanted in it for her rock and roll history class. I was pretty proud of her choices: Band name: Twisted Vacuum Members: Nels Cline - Lead GuitarJoe Strummer - Vocals and Rhythm GuitarTal Wilkenson - BassTerry Bozzio - Drums She considered Elton John for Keyboards but thought it would cause too much drama in the band. I think she has seen too much of my band drama over the years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm going to go with actual living people, for no other reason than I'm delusional and willing to hope against all odds that this could actually happen. Jeff Tweedy - gtr/voc.Neil Finn - gtr/voc.Neko Case - gtr/voc.Nels cline - gtrGlenn Kotche - drumsGeddy Lee - bass/some keys/vocalsGarth Hudson - organAndrew Bird - violin/voc.Pat Sansone - keys/some gtr (since we already have a lot)Sarah MacLachlan, Aimee Mann, Feist - backing vocals*Total Pros - horns *Yes, I know that they all play one or more instruments. But we already have a rather guitar-heavy lineup and I think they would make for a really interesting vocal mix together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
