Fantasy Billing

Say that Bill and Ted stop by your place of residence for a spin in their time traveling phone booth, and they tell you that they are putting on a once in a lifetime dream concert for which you are responsible for creating the ticket. Which bands would you pick and from what year would you take them? For me, '86 Queen opens for the '69 Beatles, followed by a long set by the '73 Floyd, just for good measure, and a '75 Who closer to cap off the show.

Is there a limit to available time/amount of performers? Well, I'll just stick close to yours.

I'd have '73 David Bowie open for '74 Genesis, then have a good healthy set of The Who ('75 also), with a phenominal closing set by '74 Floyd.

Sounds like a rockin good time.

When I saw the topic was "fantasy billing" i was thinking of something completely different. My was visualizing being buried up to my neck in credit card and various utility bills with a lady dressed in leather screaming at me through a megaphone in a fake german accent yelling "PAY ME!!! YOU ARE OVERDUE!"

I don't have the energy to do this. Post 2000 is a lazy one.

'68 Stones, '84 SRV & Double Trouble, '68 Cream, '66 Yardbirds, '77 Floyd.

'65 bob dylan (with the band inc. levon helm)
'67 hendrix experience
'68 simon & garfunkel
'71 pink floyd (corrosion tour)
'72 the who
'73 led zeppelin

45-minute break for hot dogs & beer

'82 gary numan (with pino palladino)
'88 miles davis
'95 prick & nine inch nails & david bowie
'01 squarepusher
'02 tool
'03 radiohead
'04 barenaked ladies

Well now you're just pushing it.

I'd have '73 King Crimson open up, followed by '96 Who (showcasing their excellent Quadrophenia extravaganza) then a cool off with '73 Captain Beefheart, and if they still liked each other then, '73 Zappa would join soon after. Then '77 Pink Floyd would end the evening, hopefully fireworks-free and everyone's faces dry from Roger's angst-filled saliva.

All those.
