Karma for The Meters

gotta go with (in order of priority)

The Mars Volta (new record in production, North American tour to come in the spring)
Tool (would just be killer, just dunno if I believe the rumours)
Modest Mouse (New record)
Van Morrison (must see him before he dies)
Page and Plant
TV On The Radio
Neil Young
Aphex Twin (the late night techno set'd be perfect.)
David Bowie
Prince

I don't want to be too negative, but Van Morrison may upset you when you see him. He was average at best at the ACL festival and even worse on the television show. Don't get me wrong, I love Van and I'd almost certainly check him out if he played, but I wouldn't have my expectations too high.

Jumping way over musically, I hope the Arctic Monkeys play this year. I know it's unlikely, but I think they could put on a great performance, and I'd like to see them soon while they're still playing material off their first record. You never know where a band will go with number 2.

I'm not quite sure but nobody has mentioned Les Claypool??!!!

We don't have him lined up for any fests yet....I go where he goes.Period.

A lot have said primus, but im not positive thats the form of les i want to see there. I think i'm still waiting for a c2b3 reunion.

Les Claypool is playing Summer Camp. He'll be at Roo one way or another. For me, I'm hoping for Primus.

[fishinjax]

Oysterhead was pretty sweet last summer but I'd take anything Claypool related.

[spindlest]

i saw primus on their most recent tour and they played like they hated each other. i'd much rather just see the fancy band. IMO, it's about time for primus to hang it up and move on.

PS: c2b3 would be cool...but sometimes they harsh my buzz

PPS: any form of skerik at 'roo would be lovely, to keep with the subject of the thread.

I could do Primus...I just saw them in November and I'm kinda thinking with that other guy...I'd like to see him in another form. Primus was mediocre compared to Oysterhead or even Les's solo set....I'd like to see him onstage with Mike Dillon again. Maybe even Galactic. This was stated in another thread but I'd like to see him jump in with You Can Call Me Al with our Paul Simon headliner.



***The Primus set on tour was soooooo short I like seeing Les jam out more.

[kimmy417]

So yea lets just hope for a Police headliner, a Les Claypool set of some kind, and Trey will fit in somewhere....then we will be set up nicely for a late night Oysterhead show ;D
