I want to go back to 1979 to a nice small sweaty venue that only holds a few hundred with a packet of smokes and watch the following...

Support 1: Joy Division
Support 2: The Specials
Headline: The Jam

It would be a marathon 3 day open air festival in Khao Yai National Park in Thailand featuring four stages and about 200 artists. One stage for the main bands, one for lesser known/indie artists, one for accoustic acts and one for electronica and dance. Headliners:Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and the UYI lineup of Guns 'N' Roses.

For now I'm going with Radiohead and The Doors opening for Nirvana in my basement. I know I only get to pick three, but Michael Jackson would be there somewhere in the audience grabbing his crotch and moonwalking and whatnot 😎

if it is a dream concert, I would take 70's version Cheryl Ladd with me to go see The Who, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and then we would "go get some dessert".

I got to see AIC with Layne at what might have been one of their last shows with him. They opened for KISS on their reunion tour back in 1996 at Tiger Stadium in Detroit. We got right up in the front row during their set and Layne looked the walking dead. He was actually quite engaging and funny. He cracked a joke upon seeing all the people in their KISS costumes, "How come no one is dressed like me?" But I've never seen anyone so thin and pale.

AIC rocked that day and I'm glad I saw them before he passed. The ironic thing is they replaced STP on the bill because Weiland was in rehab at the time.

thats awesome. would have love to see him before he died but, my dad did not like them and when i was old enough to drive they were on hiatus/layne was dead. im not even sure if they even came to WV in the 90's because i sure dont remember hearing anything about it. but finally got to see them, and well worth the money even without layne

So my dream concert doesn't quite follow the formula presented, but it would consist of 6-10 performers sitting in a circle in a small intimate setting, acoustically playing their own and each others songs. They would laugh and share stories and just play as is if no one was watching.

Here is a list of potential performers:

PS they would also all be in their prime and they would all get along.

I would like a concert with no crowd. Or at least be in an executive box far away from of other people. No crowd would be the best though.

Or you could go out to the terrace where Sigur Rós would serenade you peacefully with softer arrangements of their songs.

My imagination is pretty detailed.

This would be perfect if Sufjan did The Age Of Adz as well.

For rap, literally Kanye's Yeezus tour that featured Kendrick Lamar, but an addition of Drake would be perfection.
This could only go well in a big stadium with a beautiful set up.

Indie Rock: My Bloody Valentine opens Radiohead.
Something smaller would suffice.

At first glance, I was going to say this is not a dream concert but Live Aid. As I got further along I realized it is Live Aid. I was there, at the Philly show. I also used to have the entire show recorded on VCR, not the edited crap they sold a few years ago. I would've loved to been in London for that show with Queen, U2 and The Who. Still the greatest single day of rock.

Guillemots > Jeff Buckley > Genesis

This is impossible for me to say with any concrete certainty that I won't change my mind about all three acts five minutes from now, but in this moment, I'd want to go with the following:

I'd open with a performance from Jeff Buckley. He can play anything he wants, really. I just miss him.
I'd follow him with Guillemots performing Through the Windowpane with full orchestra accompaniment.
Finally, I would have Genesis play through The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway with all of its original theatrics.

It would be really awesome to do this somewhere relatively intimate like the Hollywood Theater. There's enough room to bring a decent crowd, but the sound wouldn't have to suffer for the sake of space.

Of course, I'd rather assemble my own dream festival with thirty acts or so. That way, I could get The Beatles, Janelle Monae, The Smiths, Yes, St. Vincent, John Coltrane, Cocteau Twins, The Church, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Bjork, Miles Davis, Stina Nordenstam, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Moondog, Air, Gorillaz, Amon Tobin, Talk Talk, Charles Mingus, Boards of Canada, Marvin Gaye, Weather Report, Cloud Cult, Brand New, The Flaming Lips, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix & Modest Mouse to join the weekend extravaganza.

EDIT: WEIRD. I WAS ON A TOTAL PROGGY ROCK TRIP AND OLD CLASSICS. I STRIKETHROUGHED THE ACTS I'D NO LONGER GO OUT OF MY WAY TO HEAR.

Dream as in literally just a dream:

Opening act would be Andy Partridge and then after Dame Fortune and Dear God, the rest of XTC would come out to join him.

Next supporter would be New Order, but they'd play Bizzare Love Triangle, Blue Monday, and Murder, start Ceremony, and out wanders Ian to provide vocals. Full JD set follows.

Last but not least, The Beatles take the stage and perform the entirety of Rubber Soul. 1st encore is "Imagine", "Band on the Run", and "My Sweet Lord", they leave, crowd keeps clapping, they come back, roll their eyes play a very drunk version of "Back Off Boogaloo" and end the night by inviting back up the openers and all together covering "All Together Now" but like a 10 minute long version with random solos from Hooky and Andy and others, and then the night ends.

I'd stage that one on Treasure Island.

Dream as in "well this could realistically happen someday in this real world":

The Airborne Toxic Event play a full set including "Kiss Off" and "The Book of Love"

Bloc Party comes out and plays a full set.

Justin Furstenfeld comes out and plays a full acoustic show.

Justin Furstenfeld is coming to my area to play an acoustic show IRL. I want to go so badly.

My most favorite singer James Otto would be my headliner of course and his opening acts would be LeAnn Rimes and Alison Krauss. 😄 😄 😄

God bless you and my three most favorite always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Holly (a fan of Alison for 20 years now)

P.S. Right now I don't know where I would want them to be...just somewhere close to where I am. 😄 😄 😄
