Who/what would your dream 'don't look back' concert be? I've been thinking about this recently, its pretty tough to think who would have an album that is AMAZING yet still cohesive enough to stand up to an entire show dedicated to it... I guess it needs to be very thematic.... 'daydream nation' and 'it takes a nation of millions to hold us back' epitomise this perfectly, so great don't look back choices there....
I'd love to see Sufjan Stevens play 'Illinois' all the way through, but thats a bit too recently really.... in ten years or so, if DLB is still going and Sufjan is still doing as well as he does now, thats a cert, I reckon.
A pretty obvious choice is 'in the aeroplane over the sea' by NMH, don't really need to talk about that one, but i reckon 'dusk at cubist castle' by Olivia Tremor Control would be an equal spectacle in full live glory.
Perhaps Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain by Pavement?
These all seem pretty obvious, but I am totally mind numbed from work,
OH WAIT
Super AE by Boredoms... YEAH!
*Vision Creation Newsun
both...
id explode i think
Vision Creation Newsun
supported by Super Roots 7 will always be the dream.
Super AE is so much better than VCN
you clout
ps. i know I'm right
pitch4k sez so yeh?
You're not though
I am though
they did the whole of VCN
when it came out. At least they did at the Royal Festival Hall when I saw them. I think it was a tour.
how about an elephant6 one
4-5 sets. olivia tremor control, neutral milk hotel, of montreal, etc.
definately 'illinois'...maybe 'agaetis byrjun'? 'playing with fire' by spacemen3 too
ah man
E6 one would be so freaking cool.....
there should be an ATP vs. E6
Was discussing this with my challet mates at ATP
would be ace
I
would feel so strongly about that, that I would buy a ticket and attend.
as would I sir!
Seamonsters by the Wedding Present
I've just realised that the last six or seven posts I've made on here have all been about this record. I appear to have gone a little mad. Hmmm. Maybe I'm about to break up with my girlfriend, and I'm getting Gedge back in my life in preparation.
:(
The Smiths - Strangeways Here We Come
haha
wondered how long till the smiths turned up.....
id love..
MBV- Loveless
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Sonic Youth - Dirty
Interpol -TOTBL
Sigur Ros - ()
Bjork - selma songs or vespertine
Mogwai - Happy sgons..
The Cure - Disintegration
to name a few
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People
It's all I could think when I saw them play last week :(
they played SOOO little from that album
it was ridiculous.
i prefer self titled anyway :P
that's because it came out
six years ago, and there have been three albums since it.
^ this
i heard some guy when I left AC... 'erm, they didn't play anything off feels'.... get over it.... comments like this after gigs annoy me. Especially after AC were so blatantly amazing, as were BSS.
yeah i was gonna say this too.
Plus TOTBL, and how good would OK Computer be beginning to end?
the meadowlands by the wrens
or the blue album by weezer.
with matt sharp on bass.
when i saw the wrens
there was like 20 people and they played meadowlands in its entirety. <3
OMG
Jealous!
REM - Murmur (with Bill Berry obviously)
Bjork - Homogenic
Wire - Chairs Missing
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
They would be awesome.
Isis - Oceanic
oh wait...
Tom Waits - Heartattack & Vine
The Wedding Present - Seamonsters
Teenage Fanclub - Songs From Northern Britain
Au Pairs
Sense & sensuality. Amazing record and band in their day. Would love to see them live...
underworld - second toughest might work too
I second The Au Pairs
So relevant today, one of those bands that were so ahead of their time... also would love Chairs Missing from Wire, or I suppose Entertainment from Gang of Four ... that would be nice... oooh and god Songdog doing the entirety of 'The Time Of Summer Lightning' would probably finish me off :-)
er i'd kill to see any of these
mclusky - Do Dallas
Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
QOTSA - Rated R
Pixies - Surfer Rosa
Dinosaur Jr
did YLAOM in the first series of DLB shows.
alas i hadn't heard of them then
i was 15 and listening to RATM almost exclusively
don't worry
i had heard of them, did like them, lived ten minutes from the venue, and still didn't go.
Source Tags and Codes - Trail of Dead
OK Computer
Soft Bulletin
Deloused in the Comatorium
()
Colour and the Shape
I liked that Red Sparowes did this with Soundless dawn (I know it was their only album to date, but they played it as the album pretty much)
De Loused
WORD..... this has to be done.
they did that
the first time i saw them, not as a Don't Look Back show obviously, they didn't have any other albums at that point though. And they played the Tremulant EP as an encore.
They always did big jams when I saw em on the deloused tour
like at Reading, when it was 30 min Cicatriz and 15 min Inertiatic (or whatever). It was good, but I'd just like to hear the album as the album played live. I have bootlegs, but IN THE FLESH.
69 Love Songs - MAGNETIC FIELDS
just to get value for money.
Liars - Drums Not Dead
Wipers - Is This Real?
Owls - Owls
And if we're talking sheer fantasy:
Gram Parsons - GP
The Gun Club - Fire Of Love
drums not dead....
....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. yum.
They did this in 2001
I think it was 2001. It was a review of it that made me investigate the album. I think they did it over two consecutive nights, and kept messing up the introduction to 'Absolutely Cuckoo' so the entire thing had about twenty false starts. Awesome.
that would be ace.
Make for an amazing show
Lou Reed
Metal Machine Music
OH YEAH!
^ good one
The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour
Probably never going to happen though... :(
I was thinking about a previous thread like this
t'other day.
Pearl Jam - Ten
In the aeroplane, obviously.
The Bends is an obvious choice I guess but meh.
Electro-Shock Blues...
Straight Outta Compton?
Michigan
For Whom The Toll Tells
is that last set
a Metallica/Two Gallants supergroup?
Haha
clever me...
Company Flow- Funcrusher Plus
Parcel Force- Legal RnB Stars
Parcel Force had an album?
Yeah!
http://www.mediafire.com/?63xmmjdubdb
Here's my two cents:
Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo
Seems very likely to be done at some point anyway
John Cale - Paris 1919
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Guillemots - Through The Windowpane
Wonderful Rainbow maybe?
Sao Paulo
would be a stunning end to an evening's entertainment.
Yes it would.
Do they play it live? I saw 'em like a year ago and can't remember.
Yes!
At pretty much every gig :-)
It will never be as good as the full orchestra version at Electric Proms 06 though...
Elliott Smith
is the first thing which comes to mind. Not sure which one though, probably Figure 8 if I had to choose.
This is hypothetically
of course.
as suggested by "dream"
I'll stop now.
897
The Byrds doing Younger Than Yesterday or Notorious Byrd Brothers. They need no Gene Clark or Gram Parsons, and the original drummer wasn't the best anyway, rest his soul.
Ryan Adams doing Rock n Roll :D or Love Is Hell or Whiskeytown doing Pneumonia.
Led Zep doing III.
Talking Heads (expanded stylee)
Remain in Light (or could cheat and do Stop Making Sense).
Guided by Voices - Alien Lanes with encore of Bee Thousand.
The National - Alligator
Minutemen - DNOTD
Les Savy Fav - Inches
Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin

Suicide - Suicide
Sunn O))) - Black One
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow or the First One
Dr Octagon - Dr Octagonolygist
Bors/Merzbow - Sun Baked Snow Cave (i need to listen to this more though)
...
Ol' Dirty Bastard - Nigga Please
I'd say this one is pretty unlikely...
Good call on the others though, especially Suicide!
What about Weekend At Bernies
Never say never

Viktor Vaughan/MF DOOM- Vaudeville Villain
Joanna Newsom- Ys
Neutral Milk Hotel-In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

I'd crawl over broken glass

Though I'd also love to hear Kraftwerk do just about any of their albums. Or Pavement doing Slanted and Enchanted...
Joe - www.anewbandaday.com

Mansun - Six
