I'd like to see the Black Crowes too, but not the session-musician-padded tribute act currently touring under that name!

They've never really had a stable line up, though.  If it's Chris and Rich and yer granny on bongos then it's the Crowes.

(Yo La Tengo or David Byrne, probably.)

[giantkatestacks]

During Duran

Tom Waits, his first date of any kind in years would be one hell of a surprise.

More realistically but still vanishingly unlikely Bonnie "Prince" Billy.

Being more serious Michael Franti & Spearhead would be ace.

Does she still play?  I think she's retired.

I believe so, sadly. Emily starting following her on Twitter a few years ago which gave me false hope, but I’ve accepted the inevitable

Looking at her last European tour dates (2005) I'm kicking myself for not getting involved.  Must have been too skint or something.

(Actually the nicest surprise of all would be Bobbie Gentry.)

Nancy Sinatra would be a fantastic legend slot booking.

I say this as a fan, but I don't think she has the hits to pack out the El Pointo field for an hour.

All academic anyway.

Don’t most legend slots wack out a few covers to pad out the set list? (Runs and hides)…

[CaledonianGonzo]

Can't think of any egregious examples in recent years.

I’m being slightly facetious but also legends do like their covers. Not like they probably have 10+ albums in their back catalogue each.

They generally do though.....?

[Mattymooz]

I have a dream that one year they will get Kelly Clarkson in for the pyramid pop slot. I'm never going to pay to see her at one of her shows, but would kill to see Since You Been Gone, Behind These Hazel Eyes, Never Again etc in the sun on the farm. Doubt it will be this year cause of her talk show but one day...

I saw them in the late 70s at what was Paignton Festival Theatre, was a highlight for a young Devonian lad who didn't get out much. Of course later on I discovered the Cornwall Coliseum, unfortunately it shut in 2000, happy dayz...

Shame the Festival Theatre is a multiplex now. Being my local theatre spent a lot of my youth watching acts there 😥

Plus 1 for David Byrne, and more realistically (he hopes) Robert Plant and Alison Krause. Sunset on the pyramid or headlining West Holts would be splendid.

Big regret of mine not seeing her, especially with Lee Hazlewood. 

Did see her dad though, at the RAH

Reckon there's only 3 of them with much general recognition.  Summer Wine, Jackson and You Only Live Twice would also make the bill.  It's about half an hour's worth.

With Coachella slot I'm like 80% confident he'd be there. A John peel sub or sunset park slot would be great.
