Yokkov Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (apetersvt @ Jul 5 2011, 09:21 PM) the difficult thought for me about a co headlining tour is that both bands would play abbreviated single sets (2 hours versus 3 hours). Anyway, since this isn't for real, I guess my ultimate tour would have both bands playing 2 sets for 3 hours each. SO, I choose Pink Floyd. Get Roger and David back together and unfortunately they would have to find someone for Richard's spot. THIS!!!!!!!! Rush and Pink Floyd=blow everyones mind! Then at the end they need to come and play an encore together! Edited July 6, 2011 by Yokkov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PariahDog Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) In order of preference: Genesis (Peter and Phil) Genesis (Phil) Marillion (Fish) Yes (Fragile lineup) Yes (TFTO lineup) Marillion (Hogarth) Yes (90125 lineup) The two bands would unite for extended versions of I Know What I Like, Market Square Heroes, or Roundabout.

vital signz Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 How about.... Rush! A 3 hour oldies set followed by a 3 hour newer set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, the ony sane response. Personally, I love it the way it is now. Why would I want to waste my ears on an opener, or have to wait until the opener is over before going in? There is nobody else I want to see and hear when I'm going to a Rush show, in reality or fantasy. I never like openers (nothing against the band opening), I prefer to see the headliner with fresh ears. It's why I bought the ticket. Now, Rush opening for Rush, that's different.

Then at the end they need to come and play an encore together! Rush and Floyd on stage together... I think I would faint. Just think, they could play a song like Shine On and Dave and Alex could alternate solos... Or what about this, Rush, PF, and Genesis co-headlining, with Rush playing PF songs, Genesis playing Rush songs, and PF playing Genesis songs.

coolphantom190 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Rush and King's X!!! (King's X may not be as famous to people like Rush is... But, if they did a couple of shows together, it would be perfect for the people that are fans of both bands!)

I doubt we'll ever see an Ozzy/Sabbath, and RJD Sabbath is out. Since it's a hypothetical question I'd take RJD Sabbath over any of the others in the middle between Sabbath and Heaven & Hell. An Ozzy/Sabbath would be sweet to see though. Tough call, but I think I'd pick a "Classic Era" Pink Floyd, they would play all of Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here.

USB Connector Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I dislike opening acts. I have yet to see a concert where I enjoyed the opening act. The only thing I regret missing is the Metallica/GnR tour. There was no opening there, just two headliners. If no opener wasn't an option, I would want Yes to tour with them. I think their music would flow well with the concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no opening there, just two headliners. I saw a Metallica/GnR tour with Faith No More as an opener, 92 I think. Did they do two tours together? At least I think I saw Faith No More with them? Some things during that time period are a little dim, I know the show was at Three Rivers Stadium and also that it rained all during Faith No More and Metallica.. at least I think that's what I remember.

And the last time we saw Porcupine Tree they had Karnivool play first, and they were quite good. It can happen. I don't think I've ever liked anyone who opened for Rush though....like Mister Big.

Primus opening for Rush in '92 was awesome. Then Candlebox opening for Rush in '94 was surprisingly (to me) good. King's X opening for Living Colour about 20 years ago was pretty memorable too. I'm sure there've been more but those are the standouts. As far as co-headlining, Pink Floyd seems like the best choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrinxpriest 2112 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 As far as good opening acts go, I saw Muse open for U2 in '09 and it was absolutely legit. As for Rush, I think I'd have a joy-gasm if The Mars Volta toured with them. And if both bands had a jam session...oh man...imagine a La Villa Strangiato jam with TMV...Omar and Alex trading off solos...That'd be incredible.

I prefer my Rush pure and unadulterated. It does not even get in my mp3 rotations. When I listen to this band I want to LISTEN to them. Although I do kind of like the Rush/Duran Duran/ cougars idea.
