FabSwingers.com forum: Which active band / artist would you like to see live?

Cambridge

A bit inspired by Glastonbury, which band or artist who are still performing would you like to go and see live?

Best case scenario is it may end in a social, worst case scenario it’s a bit more info on peoples vanilla preferences.

I would have PJ Harvey, Sigur Ros and Radiohead on my list which says a bit about my musical tastes

Never seen Iron Maiden or Ritche Blackmore (ex Deep Purple but would still see him whoever he performs with). I'd like to see Ozzy front Sabbath one last time but his health is going to make that impossible I think. I've seen Sabbath with Ronnie Dio and Ozzy solo bands.

I went to see Iron Mainden in Nottingham in about 2004. Had a really good night and was still able to go to the students union for a few drinks after. If you can get to see them it was a good show back then

But somewhere small, I saw Arctic monkeys at the Emirates stadium and it was a bit pants. The sound for me was wonky and I couldn't see them that great, it was just as easy to watch them on big screens at the side.

Saw chase and status at the York balloon Festival a couple of years back. They followed a very ropey Robbie Williams tribute act. Needless to say the crowd needed them and they didn't disappoint. 😁

The last time I saw Nile Rodgers he was confused & couldn't remember either of the 2 songs he was playing.

It was sad,I felt for him 😢🩵

It would have to be someone that puts on a SHOW. I can listen to the music at home. If I'm paying a fortune and making all the effort to get there, I'd want a proper show.

So P¡NK is one I'd definitely go to.

Maybe GAGA.

I’ve been fortunate enough to see most of my favourite artists live. Some I was young and silly so spent a large portion of the gigs being attended to by St John’s ambulance… but we won’t talk about that 😂😂

The one person who has alluded me so far is Paul Simon. He’s top of my hit list. I promise I’ll behave Paul 😊
