Wishbone Ash...(Martin Turner)

Robbie Williams

Take That

Led Zeppelin..(with Jason Bonham)

[PeanutHead]

Good seats or not, standing or not, concert or smaller gig.
Depends on what type of show as i only like going to smaller gigs/shows than the larger arena types.
Sit down show for an artist i like £50 - £100.

[toasty]

£50 maybe for the Stones or Elton John.

Recently seen Roger Waters.

None of the others interest me.

£100 for original Led Zep or Queen though.

[Zod]

I'd pay £1000 for Led Zep. I'm still smarting from not getting tickets to the 2007 show.

You'd have to pay me to go to some of the rest.

Knebworth 1979....(twice)....£7.50

[ILoveMondeo]

They wouldn't have let me in and my pocket money wouldn't have paid for the tickets!

[hesnotthemessiah]

Paul McCartney would have to pay me I'm afraid.

Led Zep - original line-up. I would sell my house (maybe).

The Who - original line-up - see above.

The Rolling Stones - £50

Keane - £20, maybe...

Paul M'cCartney - Nothing

Elton John - Nothing

Coldplay - £20

Wishbone Ash...(Andy Powell) - Who?

Wishbone Ash...(Martin Turner) - Ditto!

Robbie Williams - £30 if the wife wanted to go.

Take That - I'd pay £100 NOT to go.

Led Zeppelin..(with Jason Bonham) - See Take That.

Queen...(With Paul Rodgers) - Double the two above...

Roger Waters - Errr - I'm sure I should know who he is, but I guess nothing, as I don't.

Rush - Are they still alive? Nothing.

Adele - £20 - Maybe...

Shirley Bassey - Nothing

Muse - Nothing

Not spending much at your festival am I?

[Evangelion]

Wishbone Ash or the Stones I'd willingly pay £100.

Anyone else on that list, they'd have to pay me.

[Ferg]

Nope. Not interested. I MIGHT be persuaded to pay for Zep had Bonzo still been alive. I too spent the £7.50 in '79.

I'd pay good money to see:
The Undertones
Buzzcocks
Wilko Johnson
U2, if they promised not to play anything after the first two albums.
New York Dolls

Otherwise, all the decent live bands are dead...

Wilko Johnson still tours, and plays small venues.

[Ferg]

They all do. I thought that was the point.

Dear All,

of the original list I'll splash £15 on zep (so there's a fiver left for fish&chips on the way home). I know how to treat a lass

But I'd spend £50 to see a Peter-Gabriel-fronted Genesis. In the light of Phil Collins' health I'd take another drummer but Phil's voice still works,

regards,
Jet

That's a pretty good call! I'd leave Phil Collins out, but Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford and Hackett..... £50

In similar vein, you could add in:

Jethro Tull......... £100


Yes (Wakefield, Anderson, Howe, Squire, White) .... £75
