Your perfect concert
Let's say you get to design your own perfect show. Money's not an issue, and you can invite anyone you want... what would you do? Would it be a huge outdoor music fest with tons of bands? A small intimate setting with your favorite band of all time?
Go!

It would be enormous! Every single band I like would be there. This means it would last for months, if not years.
Everyone would be invited, as long as they contributed something to the show. You know, food and booze and stuff so we can make it through the whole show. This would be fucking rad! _____ What would yours be like, Cin?

hmmm...definitely an outdoor thing. Out in the middle of nowhere, where the music could go on all night, and we could camp out. I'm thinking at least four days worth of music.
As for the bands...well, it would be quite an eccentric lineup. Gaelic Storm the Eagles Fleetwood Mac Tom Petty Jimmy Buffett the Electrics Keri Noble Saving Jane Black Saints Cartel Ani DiFranco Ben Harper Gary Allan Nickel Creek Def Leppard Styx the Hush Sound Blackthorn Rilo Kiley We Are Scientists Jill Sobule Juliana Hatfield ...all right, I'm limiting myself to twenty-one, so each could play more than one set. I like your idea, Punk...instead of buying tickets, you'd get in on a donation of some sort. And since it's my concert, I'd be able to get up and sing with some of the bands several times  Yeah...that would be awesome.

Small, intimate setting almost like a large living room. I'd invite people I know who would appreciate it.
Tom Waits Leonard Cohen Peter Gabriel Sarah Mclachlan Sigur Ros Dead Can Dance I'd bring Chet Baker back from the dead; maybe Tim Buckley, too Any band that I'm currently in as well as a couple of local acts that I enjoy. |

It'd be a two day outdoor event, wildly different on each day.
It'd be on an island, so we can be around trees and water. We'd have about 1000 people there. In between acts, people would be encouraged to go swimming and play games and talk with strangers. Day One: Stories and Love on the Beach The Decemberists Hey Rosetta! Matthew Good Neko Case Leonard Cohen Day Two: Sex and Drugs in the Trees Amanda Palmer Metric Holy Fuck Queens of the Stone Age Radiohead Tool

Okay, I have to add Letters to Cleo to my lineup. And maybe Matthew Sweet.

I don't know nearly enough good music to make a concert of it. Ideally, though, I'd split a whole day in two - day = outdoor bands, night = outdoor DJ's.
Bands: Coldplay Funeral for a Friend The Script Keane My Chemical Romance Green Day DJ's: DJ Fresh Euphonik Fistaz Mixwell Richard (plays at our local hangout) Dennis Ferrer Tim White Vinny da Vinci Kaskade
