3 Bands You Would Have Wanted To See On The Bill

[Ollie Stench]

I saw a great triple bill in 1984:

Otto's Chemical Lounge
Husker Du
Dead Kenedys

[WoodlandParkPunk]

How about:
The Plimsouls
The Replacements
&
45 Grave

Nice. I saw Gene Loves Jezebel, New Order and Echo & the Bunnymen at the Pier in Manhattan, right beside the Intrepid in 1987. Another year I saw the Sugarcubes, P.I.L. and New Order at Jones Beach (1989?) Great times, the both of them.

<br>Good topic. I'll go with the Alarm, Big Country and the Waterboys.

For my synth half I'll go with Fiction Factory, China Crisis and Vitamin Z.

I always thought Big Country and The Alarm would work well too, Marv.[/quote]

Yeah, they do that anthemic sound so well.

Nice!
I saw Black Flag, Minor Threat and Saccharine Trust on the same bill back in 1982. And...in case you were wondering...Minor Threat was the best band on stage that night.



We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

I saw a few shows at Pier 54. Adam and the Ants in 1981, The Ramones in 1982...
Are you a New Yorker, Marv?

They have done the odd reunion show now and then, and Dale T. is still at every good rock show that comes thru town.

Oh, I could go two ways on this. First, I would have DIED for an Aussie/Kiwi bill like this:

Angel City
Mi-Sex
Split Enz

But then, the New Romantic in me would KEEL OVER for something like:

Ultravox
Classix Nouveaux
Landscape

No surprise that you picked The Jam and The Chords, though I thought your third were be The Lambrettas or Nine Below Zero!

I had a similar post punk bill, with Joy Division and Gandg Of Four working alongside Crispy Ambulance, though I think The Fall would work well here too.

I might even replace The Vapors with Secret Affair or Squire; however, The Lambrettas were formed to cash in on the Mod revival, as a packaged look/sound to sell records, which is what rock 'n' roll is all about from the business end of making hit performers, it's part of showbiz, and as for the Nine Below Zero they are a little to "bluesy" for my taste, albeit a good band to see live.

I think The Fall would be a better selection than KJ. I also forgot my Ska and Punk 3-bill line up card:

[b]Ska (2-Tone) dream bill:[/b]
The Specials
the beat
The Selecter

[b]Punk dream bill:[/b]
The Clash
The Damned
The Ramones
