I saw Sun Ra in 1989 and while it was really good, it didn't blow me out of my socks or anything. When I was around 10, my father took me to see him -- free outdoor concert in the mid-70s. Though of course I couldn't appreciate or understand the music, there were fire eaters and dancers, and in retrospect it was probably an amazing concert.

Quote:

RAHSAAN ROLAND KIRK would have been cool to see/hear too, since he'd at times play three instruments simultaneously and without cheapening any of the instruments... like it was musical and not gimmicky.

Don't know if you like to watch concert videos, but there's a very good quality DVD available -- Jazz Icons: Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Live in '63 and 67.

Kirk and Hendrix jammed at least twice at Ronnie Scott's Club in England. That I would give blood to see!!!

i wish i could see/hear SUN RA live. people i've spoken to pretty unanimously say it was the greatest show they'd ever seen.

i've been a huuge BJORK fan for ages now, and i've never been to a show, so that needs to get prioritized. i don't really know how she is live? but i presume it's theatrically fantastic, so let's do it.

RAHSAAN ROLAND KIRK would have been cool to see/hear too, since he'd at times play three instruments simultaneously and without cheapening any of the instruments... like it was musical and not gimmicky.

for sure, RADIOHEAD makes the cut, since they're like my BEATLES or whatever. i have seen them live, and it was incredible. conditionally, they'd have to play the "original" version of VIDEOTAPE as well as a brass-trio versions of LIFE IN A GLASSHOUSE and NATIONAL ANTHEM. um... they've got to do SCATTERBRAIN too. basically, a ton of songs from HTTT, KID A & AMNESIAC.

i'd've loved to hear NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN and his brother live. they're voices are so ethereal and raw and mesmerizing and and and an annnnn nn n n n ndd.

tl;dr:

SUN RA
BJORK
RAHSAAN
RADIOHEAD
NUSRAT

On your picks: I have seen Arctic Monkeys - probably my favourite concert. There was such a connection among the audience and it was pretty transcendent. AF were pretty good as well.

My picks:

Radiohead
Elvis Costello
Joanna Newsom
Neutral Milk Hotel
Hiatus Kaiyote

Doesn't matter if you've already seen them or not just any 5 acts.
