701 Club - QQ All-Star
Every time I listen to the music of these bands I'm glad I had a chance to see them live while they were still around. What are your top 10? They have to be legitimately defunct, for instance I would love to list the Sex Pistols and Rage Against the Machine, but they keep popping up every so often with a reunion tour. Here are my top 10 in date order:
1. Ramones (Aragon Ballroom, Chicago) - 1978
2. Johnny Thunders (Jonathan Swift's, Cambridge, MA) - 1982 (I would have loved to have seen the New York Dolls, a miss that I'll always regret)
3.Talking Heads (Poplar Creek, Hoffman Estates, IL) - 1983
4. Frank Zappa (Auditorium Theater, Chicago) - 1988
5. Nirvana (Cow Palace, San Francisco) - 1993
6. Cop Shoot Cop (Double Door, Chicago) - 1995
7. Fugazi (Rainbo Roller Rink, Chicago) - 1995
8. R.L. Burnside (Double Door, Chicago) - 1998
9. Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros (Cajun House, Scottsdale, AZ) - 2001 (One of my biggest regrets is never seeing the Clash live, but I still have the Combat Rock CD booklet that Joe signed that night framed on my wall)
10. White Stripes (Mesa Amphitheater, Mesa, AZ) - 2003
1. Ramones (Aragon Ballroom, Chicago) - 1978
2. Johnny Thunders (Jonathan Swift's, Cambridge, MA) - 1982 (I would have loved to have seen the New York Dolls, a miss that I'll always regret)
