Let's say you stumble upon some sort of magic that allows you to build out your dream musical lineup of artists both living in dead. What show are you putting together? It can be anything from a simple opening act and headliner, all the way out to a multi-day music festival.

Has to be Bonnaroo because the farm is magical. 

For headliners I’ll choose a current act a reunion and an act of the past.

Paul McCartney Oasis Beastie Boys

Pre Headliners: 

My Morning Jacket LCD SoundSystem Wu Tang 

Edit: you can toss in Queen and The Killers and they can take my bank account for a ticket

60's 70's = Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd

80's= Queen, Metallica

90's = Pearl Jam, Nirvana

00's = Korn, Limp Bizkit

Friday afternoon would be chill with bands like Crosby, Stills & Nash, Dylan, Mumford & Sons, Bread, Jefferson Airplane, Fleetwood Mac, Alanis, and Simon & Garfunkel. 

Friday evening would see guys like Springsteen, Green Day, with maybe an appearance by Prince. 

Friday night would be "An Evening With the Beatles"

Saturday morning would have Enya getting everyone going in a chill way. Then after lunch AC/DC with Bon Scott, Tool, Alice In Chains. Finally the final night would be Iron Maiden closing it out.

Limp Bizkit

Sure  You'd have David Gilmore, Robert Plant, James Hetfield, Freddie Mercury, Jonathan Davis, Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder - but a list like this would be incomplete without the artistry of Fred Durst to make it whole. The pantheon of great singers right there. 

I saw Limp back in the day.....one of the best mosh pits I have ever been in.

Johnny Cash and George Strait.

Those are the only two I'd really love to continue to see.

I'm going to do a 2-day musical festival. Country on one day, rock on the other.

Country-adjacent Day

Arlo McKinley - noon
Whiskey Wolves of the West - 1pm
Del McCoury Band - 2pm
Jason Isbell - 3pm
John Prine - 4pm
Sturgill Simpson - 5pm
George Strait - 6pm
Johnny Cash - 7pm
Merle Haggard - 8pm
Willie Nelson - 9pm
Waylon and Shooter Jennings - 10pm

Rock Day

Live - noon
Prince - 1pm
Billy Joel - 2pm (no Piano Man or We Didn't Start the Fire)
Fleetwood Mac (full performance of Tusk) - 3pm

Limp Bizkit.  😂

cc pretending like his stack-of-dimes neck wouldn't have been snapped in a second in a mosh pit.

I'd open at noon with some cool jazz from Fagen, Becker, Purdie, Carlton, Porcaro Bros, Baxter, McDonald, Schmidt

I'd put Lynnyrd Skynyrd in the mid day, don't change a thing, they are tight

Followed by Nancy and Ann Wilson with any backup band, don't need the Fisher drama

Midday is Clapton, Baker, Windwood, Grech, Bruce, Allman, Mason for a blues set 

Pick it back up with the Police, followed by Rush, ending with Jimmy, Robert, John Paul and John

Not sure how to fit NIN, Nirvana, or Prince in there

Nickelback, a bunch of Nickelback tribute bands and the "new" Nickelback, Five Finger Death Punch.

Give me Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Def Leppard, Pearl Jam and call it a day.

Day 1 -  Fleetwood Mac / Styx / Bob Seger / David Bowie / The Pretenders / The Cars / The Killers

Day 2 - Imagine Dragons / Michael Stanley Band / Springsteen / Lynyrd Skynyrd / Rolling Stones / Queen / The Who

And if it happens to be St. Paddy's Day (imagine that) ........throw in The Waterboys

Pretty good lineup. If I were you, I'd tell Styx, "You can play at my festival. But I hear even a hint of Mr. Roboto, and I'll unplug you guys faster than you can say 'Babe was a great song!'"

I need to add a performance of Days of Future Passed by The Moody Blues to my festival. Bump Live from the noon spot.

Actually, I'm scratching Styx and replacing them with Toto.

I'd probably do an evolution of blues/ rock concert over two days.

For the blues day I would have Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Son House, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, BB King, Buddy Guy, T Bone Walker, Freddie King ,Albert King, Otis Rush, Junior Kimbrough, Gary Clark Jr. and Christone Kingfish Ingram.

My rock day would be rock artists with those blues players making an appearance as they cover their songs or songs that influenced them. I'd have Zep, Floyd, Clapton (with Cream and Blind Faith), Allman Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, Stones, Beatles, Aerosmith, Eagles, Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Jack White, Stapleton, and Black Keys. 

If you are a fan of Nirvana, check out this video of Post Malone doing a tribute show of their songs.  I am not a fan of Post Malone's type of music, but this was friggin' awesome.  

Nirvana is not an easy band to cover, but these guys crushed it.

He has a good voice and clearly enunciates better than Cobain...I know that was the intent

Travis Barker has been through the ladies

Somebody add Tom Petty, The Doobies, Supertramp, and ACDC to your two day show.

Thanks in advance.

Dave Mason

Boz Scaggs

Steely Dan

Atlanta Rythym Section

Neil Young

Doobie Brothers

Joe Jackson
