I’ve been a U2 fan for many years, so to go see them would be pretty cool.

Music – Brand New & Thrice
Comedian – Jim Gaffigan or Daniel Tosh

I would also love to see a symphony.

Live: Keith Urban
Dead: Roy Orbison, Tammy Wynette and Waylon Jennings

I think it is interesting that there are no Madonna or Britney Spears answers.

Dane Cook. And I hope there’s room under my seat to stash the kidnapping gear so I can abduct him after the show.

Beyond that, I’ve always wanted to see Phantom of the Opera. I can’t think of any bands I’d go crazy over, but for nostalgic reasons I’d love to have front row seats to a Bon Jovi concert. First concert I ever went to with my friends and my mom was Bon Jovi, way back when I was 13. I had such a crush on Richie Sambora!

@Qwertymuffin411 I saw Wicked last year, and it was fantastic!!

Probably Ween (again).
Or Beck, Peter Thomas, Primus…

Blondesjon's avatar

@jenandcolin . . . We were seven rows back for Primus when they were touring with Lollapalooza after releasing Pork Soda. Phenomenal!

Michael Buble for my wife for our anniversary in NYC. He does a great show… and she is the love if my life!

I’d borrow the TARDIS and be at the Ed Sullivan Theater on 9 February 1964.
I’d then go to see the premiere performance of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring.

From now, tonight I’d see the current revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at BAM, which has been sold out for months, and then I’d be on my way to Perth, Western Australia to see Animal Collective this coming Thursday.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities I just saw Brand New, but with Glassjaw. My very favorite band :)
If we are allowed to pick dead people, I choose Jeff Buckley.
If it’s got to be a current band, either Semi Precious Weapons or City and Colour.

@john65pennington….....CHICAGO.
I’m hoping it’s the original line up with Kath and Cetera

MacBean's avatar

Rufus Wainwright.

I was once lucky enough to score front row center tickets for a show. Naked Boys Singing!. It was effing awesome.

sjmc1989's avatar

The PEARL JAM and BEN HARPER tour.

aprilsimnel's avatar

@MacBean – I saw that tour a few years back with Rufus Wainwright and Ben Folds. Rufus is il divo!

Confuscious's avatar

I’d go to a concert and I’d like to see Linkin Park.

Monsters of Folk

Cruiser's avatar

@aprilsimnel Those are all killer choices!

Dr_Dredd's avatar

Billy Joel and Elton John. I currently have tickets to a show in Buffalo, NY (not front row, alas), but they’ve postponed it THREE times already!

Cruiser's avatar

@Dr_Dredd Yeah I heard EJ was having health issues and canceling a lot of shows!

aprilsimnel's avatar

@CruiserAw, thanks!

JessicaisinLove's avatar

The Leningrad Kirov Ballet. A total fan here.

Mandomike's avatar

If it doesn’t have to be current “Greatfull Dawg”

Cruiser's avatar

@Mandomike G Dawg was IMO where Gerry really seemed at home pickin good ol blue grass and Grisman was a standout Mandolinist…just a toe tappin good time!

Blondesjon's avatar

@Cruiser & @Mandomike . . . I submit The Jerry Garcia Band as a bluegrassier alternative to the already fantastic Greatful Dawg.

check out The Pizza Tapes there are some amazing covers on there as well as some retooled originals.

Cruiser's avatar

@Blondesjon Heck just add the Greatful Dead and make it a Jerry trifecta! Throw in some Merry Pranksters and a little electric Kool Aide and we could even bring back Jerry!!

elijah's avatar

@Dr_Dredd I also have tix for that show, I have a feeling we won’t be seeing it anytime soon, if ever.

Dr_Dredd's avatar

What is it now, March?

Anonymous523's avatar

I’ve had front row tickets to them before but Oasis

Also any combination of Ryan Adams, Elliot Smith, Jeff Buckley, or Waylon Jennings.

Jude's avatar

If you could bring them all back (the ones who have past), Pink Floyd and Queen. Realistically speaking, The Stones, Muse, and toss in Eddie Vedder and the boys..
